寺廟簡介
自靈(ling)隱寺(si)(si)(si)山(shan)門向南(nan)直上(shang),在(zai)(zai)(zai)白(bai)云峰北(bei)者,稱(cheng)(cheng)上(shang)天(tian)(tian)竺(zhu)(zhu)寺(si)(si)(si)。在(zai)(zai)(zai)稽留峰北(bei)者,稱(cheng)(cheng)中(zhong)(zhong)天(tian)(tian)竺(zhu)(zhu)寺(si)(si)(si)。在(zai)(zai)(zai)飛(fei)來峰之麓,稱(cheng)(cheng)下天(tian)(tian)竺(zhu)(zhu)寺(si)(si)(si)。三(san)(san)天(tian)(tian)竺(zhu)(zhu)寺(si)(si)(si)皆以供奉(feng)觀世音菩薩(sa)為本。天(tian)(tian)竺(zhu)(zhu)在(zai)(zai)(zai)歷史上(shang)是杭州的(de)佛(fo)(fo)國(guo),天(tian)(tian)竺(zhu)(zhu)三(san)(san)寺(si)(si)(si)香火(huo)極盛。元天(tian)(tian)歷(1328-1330)間,中(zhong)(zhong)天(tian)(tian)竺(zhu)(zhu)寺(si)(si)(si)僧(seng)大忻博得元文宗(zong)圖貼睦(mu)爾(er)的(de)歡心。寺(si)(si)(si)名(ming)(ming)改(gai)(gai)(gai)為“天(tian)(tian)歷永(yong)祚禪(chan)寺(si)(si)(si)”,誰知(zhi)“永(yong)祚”不(bu)“永(yong)”,在(zai)(zai)(zai)元末的(de)戰(zhan)亂中(zhong)(zhong),中(zhong)(zhong)天(tian)(tian)竺(zhu)(zhu)同(tong)樣沒有(you)躲過寺(si)(si)(si)毀(hui)僧(seng)散的(de)災難(nan)。中(zhong)(zhong)天(tian)(tian)竺(zhu)(zhu)距上(shang)天(tian)(tian)竺(zhu)(zhu)也約(yue)1里(li)。初(chu)建寺(si)(si)(si)于(yu)隋(sui)代,吳越(yue)時名(ming)(ming)崇(chong)壽院。它似乎特別(bie)受到(dao)歷朝(chao)君主的(de)垂青:北(bei)宋(song)(song)賜名(ming)(ming)為“天(tian)(tian)寧萬壽永(yong)祚禪(chan)寺(si)(si)(si)”。南(nan)宋(song)(song)高(gao)宗(zong)曾賜佛(fo)(fo)像,置于(yu)寺(si)(si)(si)中(zhong)(zhong)的(de)華嚴寶(bao)閣(ge),并增擴殿宇,明代賜號“中(zhong)(zhong)天(tian)(tian)竺(zhu)(zhu)禪(chan)寺(si)(si)(si)”。至南(nan)宋(song)(song)寧宗(zong)皇帝(di),又列為天(tian)(tian)下禪(chan)宗(zong)五山(shan)十剎(cha)之第(di)一剎(cha)。此外在(zai)(zai)(zai)元代曾改(gai)(gai)(gai)名(ming)(ming)天(tian)(tian)歷永(yong)祚禪(chan)寺(si)(si)(si),清(qing)代又改(gai)(gai)(gai)名(ming)(ming)法凈寺(si)(si)(si)。寺(si)(si)(si)中(zhong)(zhong)原有(you)藏(zang)經閣(ge),在(zai)(zai)(zai)1947年毀(hui)于(yu)火(huo)災。
中(zhong)(zhong)天(tian)(tian)(tian)(tian)竺是從(cong)下(xia)天(tian)(tian)(tian)(tian)竺分(fen)離出來(lai)獨立成(cheng)院的(de),那(nei)時上(shang)(shang)天(tian)(tian)(tian)(tian)竺已經(jing)后(hou)來(lai)居上(shang)(shang),而中(zhong)(zhong)天(tian)(tian)(tian)(tian)竺卻仍(reng)簫然孤立于上(shang)(shang)、下(xia)天(tian)(tian)(tian)(tian)竺之間,相形失色。為了能(neng)與上(shang)(shang)、下(xia)二天(tian)(tian)(tian)(tian)竺平起平坐,中(zhong)(zhong)天(tian)(tian)(tian)(tian)竺寺(si)僧們倒是憋了一(yi)口氣,想方設法尋找時機。終于,在摩利支天(tian)(tian)(tian)(tian)“顯靈”之后(hou),他(ta)們又爭到了一(yi)次接待官(guan)方大(da)員到本地祈雨(yu)的(de)機會,而且很幸運,祈雨(yu)以“靈驗”告終。從(cong)此(ci),中(zhong)(zhong)天(tian)(tian)(tian)(tian)竺寺(si)也(ye)被人刮目相看,當華(hua)嚴閣建成(cheng)后(hou),它的(de)聲(sheng)望和(he)地位就更(geng)加(jia)顯赫,成(cheng)了湖上(shang)(shang)巍然巨(ju)剎。明朝洪武(1368-1398)初寺(si)重建后(hou),賜名為“中(zhong)(zhong)天(tian)(tian)(tian)(tian)竺禪寺(si)”。正德(1506-1521)間,寺(si)又毀。嘉(jia)靖(jing)二十五年(1546),僧慧鏞等募(mu)化重建,原后(hou)民殿改建為白衣(yi)觀音(yin)殿。
中天竺托名(ming)北宋詩僧(seng)慧嵩所作的《中竺十二景題詠》,就給后人留下了(le)古剎內外的勝(sheng)景風(feng)貌,如《千歲古意》寫(xie)道:千歲巖(yan)頭碧樹森,昔年寶掌(zhang)獨知(zhi)音。
蒲團坐破僧何處,寂寂青山任古今(jin)。相(xiang)傳寶掌初來(lai)時(shi),常坐在一塊巨大的巖石(shi)上說法,后人稱這(zhe)塊巖石(shi)“千歲巖”,巖在寺后。又如:“七(qi)星(xing)潭(tan)月”:水沼形聯北(bei)斗名,來(lai)源脈(mo)引天河清(qing)。夜涼云(yun)去秋空凈(jing),冰魄(po)亭亭萬(wan)里(li)平。七(qi)星(xing)潭(tan)位于中天竺寺內大殿前,七(qi)汪清(qing)泉相(xiang)通(tong),形似北(bei)斗七(qi)星(xing)
排列。再如“永(yong)清(qing)竹浪”:瑯(王(wang)+干)清(qing)蔭碧于水,有(you)時(shi)掠地狂風起(qi)。窗前卷起(qi)伏(fu)如揚,莫驚林(lin)下(xia)化龍(long)鯉。“永(yong)清(qing)”即永(yong)清(qing)塢,就在中天(tian)竺寺(si)對(dui)面(mian)。明清(qing)時(shi),中天(tian)竺大殿里(li)有(you)一副(fu)柱(zhu)聯(lian),文字通俗易懂,文意冷峻而又不(bu)乏嘲諷,聯(lian)文是:我們(men)中締(di)結福緣(yuan),豈唯在一炷清(qing)香(xiang),幾聲佛號(hao);你心里(li)能全善果,自然地秋(qiu)生桂實,春茁蘭芽。如今,幾經滄桑的中天(tian)竺寺(si)佛門重開,恢復了宗教活動,除(chu)了以老年婦女(nv)為(wei)主的香(xiang)客外,還常有(you)慕名前來(lai)訪(fang)古的游客光臨(lin)寺(si)中。
