Xiang Lin Si Temple (Chinese: 香林寺) is a Buddhist temple located opposite of Cheng Hoon Teng in Jalan Tokong, Malacca City. This double-storey temple follows Mahayana Buddhism, one of the three main branches of Buddhism along with Theravāda and Vajrayāna. The second floor of the temple is a convenient spot for capturing scenic photos of its neighbouring Taoist temple Cheng Hoon Teng and the rest of the "Harmony Street", named that because of its proximity to the Kampung Kling Mosque and Sri Poyatha Moorthi Temple, which symbolises religion tolerance existed long before the founding of Malaysia. It also kept a complete collection of the Pali Canon, a religious scripture of Buddhism.
