This paper is a follow-up study to my paper "Early History of Buddhism in Taiwan" which was published on Issue No.8 of this journal. In the introduction, I quoted "most schools came from Fukien. The robe and bowl were handed down from Huang-po." Then, I investigate the rise and fall of Huang-po Monastery in Tainan and its relationship with political and military figures. I also extend my research to the monasteries in Fukien in the context of the exchange betwenn Taiwan and Fukien's Buddhism. For example, (1) Huang-po Monastery in Fu-ching, (2) Ch'ang Ching Yuan Monastery, or Hsi-ch'an, in Yi-shan, and (3) Yuon-ch'uan Monastery in Ku-shan. After examining the history of their establishment, and analyzing their lineage, it is confirmed that Huang-po Monastery in Fu-ching and Hsi-ch'an in Yi-shan belong to Lin Chi School while Yuon Ch'uan Monastery in Ku-shan belongs to Ch'ao Tung School. Furthermore, Taiwanese Buddhism mostly originated from Yuon Ch'uan Monastery in Ku-shan. Therefore, this paper bases on the sangha of Kai Yuan Monastery to have a look at the exchange of Buddhist sangha between Taiwan and Fukien since 19th century as well as the situation of Yuon Ch'uan Monastery at that time. Later on, due to the decline of the strength of Yuon Ch'uan Monastery, although many Taiwanese sangha to receive ordination, the modernization movement of Taiwanese Buddhism could not but wait until the Hsi Lai An Incident. Then, a turning point emerged.
