This thesis based the ethnographic research on the spirituality practice culture of Taoyuan Longtan Long Yun Temple. Opening the point of the spirituality is one of the characteristics of spirituality activities practice in Long Yun Temple. Long Yun Temple has taken the “International Order task” from the heaven gods since AD 2000. Hui-lingshan activities has been taken abroad from domestic lines. Hui-lingshan location is far from India, Nepal, Thailand, Japan, and China's four famous Buddhist mountains and Tibet. It also develops its own spiritual characteristics of international activities. By way of fieldwork, participant observation and in-depth interviews, we learned that the belief-based concept of Long Yun Temple is Buddhist passbook. By way of spirituality activities practice to accumulate merit, they will complete the circle of retro received mission. The spirituality ceremony of moving rotating training and the static transfer of Buddhist meditation are the main practices in everyday life.

Hui-lingshan activities of Long Yun Temple can be divided into domestic line and foreign line. In this study, the researcher will detailed describe the task and process of Hui-lingshan activities, and analyze the meaning and purpose of Hui-lingshan activities. The first result is the impact on individuals, including: finding the spiritual element and feeling the aura of nature, abroad tasks can be great merit, and the effectiveness of spiritual healing. The second result is the impact on the task of Hui-lingshan activities. It includes: a past with the future function, the previous plant trees, and the future generations to enjoy, and the way of personnel selection. The third result is the impact on the entire international-- all Souls homing.

In today's society, Hui-lingshan activities of Long Yun Temple have two special meanings. The first meaning is the cross-border link to the new situation after localization. Long Yun Temple was once a private altar. It has serviced the faithful for the nearly two decades. After the expansion of temple in Taoyuan Longtan, it starts departing from the role of the private altar service. On the link between the geographical location, it formed the Grand Cross of geographical connection between thirty degrees north latitude and one hundred twenty degrees east longitude. This is a new geographical link of Long Yun Temple. The second result is that the Hui-lingshan community structure is both differentiation and integration. The social network of Long Yun Temple shows the individuation characteristics. While in the spirituality ceremony of moving rotating training and the social network in everyday life, with hearts of collectivization phenomenon is emphasized. By this arrangement, individuals and groups can successfully operate in the Hui-lingshan community.
