Stories of earlier applicants:

In 2016, Lingyin Temple published a recruitment notice for the temple’s new media editor on its official account . At that time, more than a thousand applicants came here, and Zhao Liangui, a young man born in the 1990s, successfully applied.

After Zhao Liangui reported to Lingyin Temple, he went to ask the Master: Are there any requirements for the number of readers and fans of Lingyin Temple’s official account? In response to this, the Master still clasped his hands together and left a meaningful sentence for him to ponder carefully: "There is no need to force it, everything will happen."

The editor of the temple's new media seems to be a gimmick, but in fact it is simple and leisurely. Even a little tasteless. "Adapting to temple life?" is a mandatory requirement for applying for this position, and Zhao Liangui adapted very well. Checking in at 8:25 in the morning and getting off work at 4:30 in the afternoon is my daily routine as the editor of Lingyin Temple New Media.

After get off work, going to the mailroom in the east wing of Lingyin Temple to sign for express delivery is Zhao Liangui’s main connection with the “secular world”. Convenient online shopping allows Zhao Liangui to buy the items he needs for daily life without going down the mountain, but it also causes some unexpected confusions. Because the delivery address left was "Lingyin Temple, No. 1, Fayun Lane", some customer service staff of online shopping platforms misunderstood that he was an unknown eminent monk, and asked him for advice, lectures and questions through the screen. He was dumbfounded and confused.
