四大佛教名山之普陀山

普陀山位于浙江省杭州湾以东约100海里,是舟山群岛中的一个小岛,面积12.5平方公里,呈狭长形,南北长8.6公里,东西宽3.5公里,最高处佛顶山海拔300米。

普陀山集寺庙、海、沙、石于一体,奇花异木遍布,古树参天,森林面积大约75%。山形如蟠龙戏珠,升腾在浩浩东海之中;岛外,海浪滔滔,白帆点点,这里相传是观音菩萨传经说法,普度众生的道场,被誉为“南海圣境”,在国内外,尤其是在东南亚各国享誉非凡。

普陀山观音道场始建于公元863年,日本僧人慧锷在五台山请得一尊观音像,从宁波下海回国,舟至普陀山莲花洋时,遇上风涛,无法东渡,便认为菩萨不愿离去,于是留像于普陀山岛潮音洞侧,岛民张氏请像供奉于家宅,称不肯去观音院,这是普陀山最早的寺院。普济寺、法雨寺、慧济寺为普陀山名扬海内外的三大寺,也是现今保存的二十多所寺庵中最大的三座。普济禅寺始建于宋,为山中供奉观音的主刹,建筑总面积约11000多平方米。法雨禅寺始建于明,依山凭险,层层叠建,周围古木参天,极为幽静。慧济禅寺建于佛顶山上,又名佛顶山寺。

普陀山还有很多奇岩怪石。著名的有盘陀石、二龟听法石、海天佛国石等二十余处。山海相接之处有许多石洞胜景,最著名的是潮音

Putuo Mountain

Putuo Mountain, on one of the Zhoushan Islands about 100 sea miles off the eastern coast of Hangzhou Bay in Zhejiang Province, is one of the four Buddhist shrines in the country, covering an area of 12.5 square kilometers. Its main peak, the Peak of Buddhist Top, is 300 meters above sea level.

Putuo Mountain is noted for its rough terrain and exquisite landscape. The clouds like sails, scattered about, and the sea and the sky bore a same blurred color. The mountain rises alone over the East China Sea. Sailing near, one can see verdant trees, strange rocks, mysterious temples, and huge inscriptions carved on stones. The mountain also has a stretching beach and a lot of caves, surrounded by floating clouds.

Putuo Mountain is famous both at home and abroad, especially among Southeast Asian countries. Its first temple is called Guanyin Temple, built in 863 AD. The island cape is encircled by numerous protruding reps and deep hidden grottoes. Putuo Mountain is not only a sacred place of Buddhism -- "Buddhist Land of South Sea", but also an ideal summer resort. It has a mild climate, intriguing surroundings and unique scenery. The three famous temples are Puji Temple, Fayu Temple and Huiji Temple, which are the three largest ones among the 20-odd existing well-preserved temples nationwide.
