大鉴寺

大鉴寺

　　大鉴寺位于韶关市风度北路兴隆街的大鉴寺，它的前身是大梵寺。大梵寺始建于南北朝，至今近1500年历史，原址在西河今光孝路一带。唐仪凤二年（公元677年），禅宗六祖卓锡曹溪宝林道场（即南华寺），常被韶州韦剌史请至大梵寺讲经说法。六祖圆寂后，唐宪宗谥为"大鉴禅师"。后人为了纪念六祖遂将大梵寺改名为"大鉴寺"。宋绍定年间（约1228年），大鉴寺由西河搬至今兴隆街（原名兴贤坊）。随着六祖在佛教地位的提高，韶州大鉴寺也名负天下。一千多年来，大鉴寺一直是韶州接待天下众僧朝拜六祖真身时投宿的中心场所，故历来香火鼎盛，被视为佛教圣地。

　　1940年，101岁高龄的虚云和尚在重修了南华寺及云门寺之后又来韶州重修大鉴寺。新中国成立后，大鉴寺地产多被某些单位和住户侵占，僧人也被遣散。开放改革后随着国家宗教政策的恢复，大鉴寺又交回佛教界管理，并逐步收回部分遗产。近年来，大鉴寺基本上已恢复原貌，并建造一座集招待、藏经、僧舍等多用途的大楼，恢复了历史上韶州接待佛家四众弟子的中心地位。
