This is a very interesting website from China concerning the Jade Buddha Temple in Shanghai - which has a connection with master Xu Yun, as well as:

Master Yuan Ying
Master Di Xian
Jade Buddha Monastery - English
Jade Buddha Monastery - Chinese
'The Jade Buddha Monastery has been stressing on sitting in meditation. Since the end of 1970s, the restoration of opening of the monastery, besides the daily sitting in meditation, monks will assemble in the Meditation Hall to sit in meditation for seven days with the abbot as the head from the first to the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month every year.'
It is at this place that master Xu Yun held a a two week Ch'an retreat - beginning on the 22nd of February, 1953 - and from which his teachings were gathered together into a single document famously known throughout the world as 'Xu Yun's Dharma Words'. These recorded sayings form part of his autobiography - the ''Xu Yun He-Shang Nian-pu'. Xu Yun was in his 114th year at this time.
