南华寺
坐落于广东省韶关市,曲江县马坝东南7公里的曹溪之畔,距离韶关市南约22公里,这里依山面水,峰峦奇秀。
南华寺是中国佛教名寺之一,是禅宗六祖慧能宏扬“南宗禅法”的发源地。
据史料记载,是年印度高僧智乐三藏自广州北上,途经曹溪,“掬水饮之,香味异常”,“四顾群山,峰恋奇秀”,“宛如西天宝林山地”遂建议在此建寺。
天监三年,寺庙建成,梁武帝赐“宝林寺”名。后又先后更名为“中兴寺”、“法泉寺”、至宋开宝元年(公元968年),宋太宗敕赐“南华禅寺”,寺名乃沿袭至今。因禅宗六祖在此弘法,也称六祖道场。
南华寺距今已近一千五百年的历史,寺后有桌锡泉(俗称九龙泉),几株高达数十米的古老水松,是现在世界上稀有的树木,寺庙现存大量珍贵文物,为全国重点文物保护单位之一.
南华寺建筑面积一万二千多平方米,由曹溪门、放生池、宝林门、天王殿、大雄宝殿、藏经阁、灵照塔、六祖殿等建筑群组成。现有建筑除灵照塔、六祖殿外,都是1934年后虚云和尚募化重修的。
1983年,南华寺最早一批被国务院定为国家重点寺院。
2001年06月25日,南华寺作为明、清时期古建筑,被国务院批准列入第五批全国重点文物保护单位名单。
南华寺是写下千古绝句“菩提本无树,明镜亦非台,本来无一物,何处惹尘埃”的佛教禅宗六祖慧能弘扬“南宗禅法”的发祥地,六祖慧能在此传授佛法37年,法眼宗远传世界各地,因而南华寺有“祖庭”之称。
