歷史
傳(chuan)臨濟(ji)派正宗。朝陽(yang)(yang)洞,上古時曾是(shi)(shi)道觀(guan),相傳(chuan)是(shi)(shi)大石關南關帝廟(miao)的下院,元末(mo)明(ming)初改為尼僧寺廟(miao)。朝陽(yang)(yang)寺始建于五(wu)代后(hou)期(qi),再(zai)修于元明(ming)清(qing),寺中洞前(qian),有清(qing)代康熙、嘉慶、宣統(tong)年間三次修葺。迨至文革,遭到破壞,一九(jiu)九(jiu)四年初,恢復(fu)為宗教活動場所。市(shi)、區(qu)政(zheng)府協助規劃,市(shi)佛協秘書長孫雅巖和(he)往持能修集資復(fu)修山(shan)門(men)、大殿(dian)、觀(guan)音洞、居仙(xian)洞、尼舍,新建齋堂、念佛堂。東(dong)、中、西三院安置有序,佛像莊嚴升(sheng)座(zuo),現已成為連接參(can)窩與(yu)湯河(he)風景區(qu)之(zhi)間一顆明(ming)珠。
相傳(chuan)"周(zhou)易"、“麻衣(yi)相書”、“易經(jing)解(jie)說(shuo)”三部著(zhu)(zhu)作,就是陳摶老祖(zu)(zu)在白(bai)云(yun)山居(ju)仙洞中著(zhu)(zhu)成(cheng)。并有(you)洞壁(bi)題詩,壁(bi)無殘跡,詩稿猶存。洞中寬闊,洞后塑有(you)陳摶老祖(zu)(zu)全身(shen)臥身(shen)一(yi)尊,合衣(yi)閉目(mu),神(shen)態自若,漢洞,位于居(ju)仙洞東北(bei)角(jiao),據傳(chuan)此(ci)洞與石咀(ju)石作響(xiang),隱隱有(you)聲,民(min)間說(shuo)是地河,歷代曾有(you)冒險(xian)者只身(shen)涉險(xian)探(tan)查,所傳(chuan)不謬。蟒洞,洞口(kou)(kou)呈三角(jiao)形,無人(ren)(ren)實測,難知深淺,相傳(chuan)有(you)人(ren)(ren)曾看見巨(ju)蟒出入(ru)洞中,故(gu)稱(cheng)蟒洞。黃(huang)(huang)洞,因(yin)洞口(kou)(kou)依其(qi)黃(huang)(huang)色巖石構成(cheng),故(gu)稱(cheng)黃(huang)(huang)洞,身(shen)入(ru)古寺,聽經(jing)聲佛語,看繚繞(rao)香煙,使人(ren)(ren)濁念頓消,大有(you)超脫俗緣、如入(ru)仙境(jing)之(zhi)感。
