寺廟簡介
自(zi)靈隱(yin)寺(si)(si)(si)(si)山(shan)門向南直(zhi)上(shang)(shang),在白(bai)云(yun)峰北者,稱(cheng)(cheng)上(shang)(shang)天(tian)(tian)(tian)(tian)竺(zhu)寺(si)(si)(si)(si)。在稽留峰北者,稱(cheng)(cheng)中(zhong)(zhong)天(tian)(tian)(tian)(tian)竺(zhu)寺(si)(si)(si)(si)。在飛來峰之麓,稱(cheng)(cheng)下天(tian)(tian)(tian)(tian)竺(zhu)寺(si)(si)(si)(si)。三(san)天(tian)(tian)(tian)(tian)竺(zhu)寺(si)(si)(si)(si)皆以供奉觀(guan)世音(yin)菩薩為本。天(tian)(tian)(tian)(tian)竺(zhu)在歷(li)史上(shang)(shang)是杭州的(de)佛(fo)國,天(tian)(tian)(tian)(tian)竺(zhu)三(san)寺(si)(si)(si)(si)香火極盛。元(yuan)天(tian)(tian)(tian)(tian)歷(li)(1328-1330)間,中(zhong)(zhong)天(tian)(tian)(tian)(tian)竺(zhu)寺(si)(si)(si)(si)僧(seng)大忻博得(de)元(yuan)文宗(zong)圖(tu)貼睦爾的(de)歡心。寺(si)(si)(si)(si)名(ming)(ming)改(gai)(gai)為“天(tian)(tian)(tian)(tian)歷(li)永(yong)(yong)(yong)祚禪寺(si)(si)(si)(si)”,誰知“永(yong)(yong)(yong)祚”不“永(yong)(yong)(yong)”,在元(yuan)末的(de)戰(zhan)亂中(zhong)(zhong),中(zhong)(zhong)天(tian)(tian)(tian)(tian)竺(zhu)同樣沒有(you)躲(duo)過(guo)寺(si)(si)(si)(si)毀僧(seng)散的(de)災難。中(zhong)(zhong)天(tian)(tian)(tian)(tian)竺(zhu)距上(shang)(shang)天(tian)(tian)(tian)(tian)竺(zhu)也約(yue)1里。初建(jian)寺(si)(si)(si)(si)于隋(sui)代,吳越時名(ming)(ming)崇壽(shou)院。它似乎特別受到(dao)歷(li)朝(chao)君主(zhu)的(de)垂青:北宋(song)賜名(ming)(ming)為“天(tian)(tian)(tian)(tian)寧萬(wan)壽(shou)永(yong)(yong)(yong)祚禪寺(si)(si)(si)(si)”。南宋(song)高(gao)宗(zong)曾賜佛(fo)像,置于寺(si)(si)(si)(si)中(zhong)(zhong)的(de)華(hua)嚴寶(bao)閣,并增擴殿宇(yu),明代賜號(hao)“中(zhong)(zhong)天(tian)(tian)(tian)(tian)竺(zhu)禪寺(si)(si)(si)(si)”。至南宋(song)寧宗(zong)皇(huang)帝,又列(lie)為天(tian)(tian)(tian)(tian)下禪宗(zong)五(wu)山(shan)十剎(cha)之第一剎(cha)。此外在元(yuan)代曾改(gai)(gai)名(ming)(ming)天(tian)(tian)(tian)(tian)歷(li)永(yong)(yong)(yong)祚禪寺(si)(si)(si)(si),清代又改(gai)(gai)名(ming)(ming)法凈(jing)寺(si)(si)(si)(si)。寺(si)(si)(si)(si)中(zhong)(zhong)原有(you)藏經閣,在1947年毀于火災。
中(zhong)(zhong)天(tian)竺(zhu)(zhu)是從下天(tian)竺(zhu)(zhu)分(fen)離出來獨立(li)成(cheng)(cheng)院的(de),那時上(shang)天(tian)竺(zhu)(zhu)已經后來居(ju)上(shang),而中(zhong)(zhong)天(tian)竺(zhu)(zhu)卻(que)仍簫然孤立(li)于上(shang)、下天(tian)竺(zhu)(zhu)之間(jian),相(xiang)(xiang)形失色。為(wei)了(le)能(neng)與上(shang)、下二(er)天(tian)竺(zhu)(zhu)平起(qi)平坐,中(zhong)(zhong)天(tian)竺(zhu)(zhu)寺(si)僧們倒是憋了(le)一(yi)口氣,想方設法尋找時機。終(zhong)于,在摩利支天(tian)“顯(xian)(xian)靈(ling)”之后,他們又爭到了(le)一(yi)次(ci)接待官(guan)方大(da)員到本地祈雨(yu)的(de)機會,而且很幸運,祈雨(yu)以(yi)“靈(ling)驗(yan)”告終(zhong)。從此,中(zhong)(zhong)天(tian)竺(zhu)(zhu)寺(si)也被人刮目相(xiang)(xiang)看,當華嚴(yan)閣建(jian)成(cheng)(cheng)后,它的(de)聲望和地位就更(geng)加顯(xian)(xian)赫,成(cheng)(cheng)了(le)湖上(shang)巍然巨剎。明朝洪武(1368-1398)初寺(si)重(zhong)建(jian)后,賜名為(wei)“中(zhong)(zhong)天(tian)竺(zhu)(zhu)禪寺(si)”。正德(1506-1521)間(jian),寺(si)又毀。嘉靖二(er)十(shi)五年(1546),僧慧鏞(yong)等募(mu)化重(zhong)建(jian),原(yuan)后民殿(dian)改建(jian)為(wei)白衣觀音(yin)殿(dian)。
中(zhong)(zhong)天竺托名(ming)北(bei)宋詩僧慧嵩所作的《中(zhong)(zhong)竺十二景(jing)題詠》,就給后人留下了(le)古剎內(nei)外的勝(sheng)景(jing)風貌(mao),如《千歲(sui)古意》寫道:千歲(sui)巖頭碧樹森,昔年寶掌(zhang)獨(du)知音。
蒲團坐(zuo)破僧(seng)何(he)處,寂寂青山(shan)任古今。相(xiang)(xiang)傳(chuan)寶(bao)掌(zhang)初(chu)來時(shi),常坐(zuo)在(zai)一塊巨大(da)的巖(yan)石(shi)上(shang)說法,后人稱這塊巖(yan)石(shi)“千(qian)歲巖(yan)”,巖(yan)在(zai)寺后。又如:“七星潭(tan)月(yue)”:水沼形(xing)聯北(bei)斗(dou)名,來源脈引天(tian)(tian)河清(qing)(qing)。夜涼云(yun)去秋空凈,冰魄亭亭萬(wan)里平。七星潭(tan)位(wei)于(yu)中天(tian)(tian)竺寺內大(da)殿前,七汪清(qing)(qing)泉相(xiang)(xiang)通,形(xing)似北(bei)斗(dou)七星
排列。再如“永(yong)(yong)清(qing)(qing)竹浪”:瑯(王+干)清(qing)(qing)蔭碧于水,有時(shi)掠地狂風(feng)起(qi)(qi)。窗前卷起(qi)(qi)伏如揚,莫(mo)驚(jing)林下化龍(long)鯉。“永(yong)(yong)清(qing)(qing)”即永(yong)(yong)清(qing)(qing)塢,就(jiu)在中(zhong)(zhong)(zhong)(zhong)天竺寺(si)對(dui)面。明清(qing)(qing)時(shi),中(zhong)(zhong)(zhong)(zhong)天竺大殿(dian)里有一副柱聯(lian),文字通俗易懂,文意(yi)冷峻(jun)而(er)又(you)不(bu)乏嘲諷,聯(lian)文是:我們中(zhong)(zhong)(zhong)(zhong)締結福緣,豈唯(wei)在一炷清(qing)(qing)香(xiang)(xiang),幾聲佛號;你心(xin)里能全善果,自(zi)然地秋(qiu)生桂實,春茁蘭芽。如今,幾經滄(cang)桑的中(zhong)(zhong)(zhong)(zhong)天竺寺(si)佛門(men)重開(kai),恢復了宗教活動(dong),除了以老(lao)年婦女為主的香(xiang)(xiang)客外,還常有慕名(ming)前來訪古的游客光臨寺(si)中(zhong)(zhong)(zhong)(zhong)。
