少林寺常住院导游词2024 篇1
好了，各位游客朋友们，我们眼前的就是今天主要参观的少林寺常住院。常住院是主持僧和执事和尚进行佛事活动的地方，寺院总面积三万多平方米，分七进建筑，希望通过我的讲解，使您对少林寺有更进一步的了解。
现在我们来到了少林寺的山门前，山门就是少林寺的大门，深山藏古寺，所以寺院一般多建于深山，这第一道门就叫“山门”。山门也称三门，寓意为佛教的三解脱。佛教认为人有三毒：贪、嗔、痴。过了这三门就会灭掉这“三毒”，在心理上做一个快乐的自由人。门额上的“少林寺”三字是清圣祖康皇帝所书，正上方刻有“康熙御笔之宝”方印，黑底金字，素雅大方。山门殿的佛龛供着大肚弥勒佛，又称迎宾佛，他慈眉善目，笑迎八方来客，有幅对联“大肚能容，容天下难容之事;慈颜常笑，笑世间可笑之人”说的就是此佛。神龛后面供奉的是韦驮，他是南方天王部下的大神将之首。他手持金刚宝杵，职责是保护寺院内佛、法、僧三宝的安全。
穿过天王殿，我们面前的这座建筑就是全寺的中心建筑——大雄宝殿。大雄宝殿为面阔五间进深三间的重檐歇山式建筑。“大雄”是佛祖的别称表明佛的光明无量。请大家随我一起进殿参观。中国有句古话，无事不登三宝殿说的就是这里，三宝指的是佛、法、僧。殿内供奉着婆娑世界的释迦牟尼佛，左为东方净琉璃世界的药师佛，右为西方极乐世界的阿弥陀佛。殿内东西两侧塑的是十八罗汉，屏墙后塑的是观世音菩萨。少林寺大雄宝殿与其他寺院大雄宝殿不同之处在于这里的三世佛左右塑有两尊站像，分别是达摩祖师和具有高超武艺的少林寺护法神——紧那罗王，表明少林寺是禅武结合的寺院;另外，在该殿中间的两根大住下还有麒麟雕像，表明禅宗是完全汉化了的中国式佛教。
参观完藏经阁，方丈室后，现在呈现在我们眼前的是立雪亭，又称达摩亭。殿内供奉的是铜制达摩坐像，两侧分别是二祖慧可、三祖僧灿、四祖道信、五祖弘忍。说起立雪亭，这里还有个动人的故事：据佛经记载，达摩来到少林寺后，神光也追随而来，虚心求教却被达摩拒绝，神光并不灰心，对达摩精心照顾，形影不离。一天晚上，达摩在达摩亭坐神入定，神光依旧侍立在亭外，这时大雪纷飞，白雪埋没了他的双膝，神光依旧双手合十一动不动，第二天早上达摩开定后，见神光立在雪地里便问他：”你站在雪地里干什么?”神光回答：“求师父传授真法。”达摩说：“要我传你佛法，除非天降红雪。”神光解意，立即抽出戒刀砍去了自己的左臂，鲜血顿时染红了白雪，达摩深受感动，把衣钵法器传授于他，赐名慧可，就是禅宗二祖，为纪念二祖慧可断臂求法，至今后代僧人仍断臂稽首。
最后带您参观的是少林寺最后一进大殿——千佛殿，千佛殿又称毗卢阁，大家请看：殿内砖铺地面上有四排四十八个站桩坑，这里是历代少林武僧练武时留下的原始脚印坑，展现了少林功夫高深莫测的功底。殿内供奉着毗卢佛，殿内东、西、北三面墙壁上是“五百罗汉朝毗卢”的大型彩画，出自明代民间画家之手，画意精美，设计大胆，具有很高的研究价值和美学价值。
由于时间关系，少林寺的常住院的参观先告一段落，请大家自由活动三十分钟，可以休息或拍照。三十分钟后准时在山口集合，我将带大家参观少林寺历代高僧安息之地——塔林。

Fellow guests, we now must visit the tour the place are Chinese zen place of origin ----- Shaolin Temple. The Shaolin Temple beginning constructs at Northern Wei Dynasty too and 19 years (the A.D. 495 years) settle the Indian Buddhist priest postscript by Yuan Hongwei to depend on Shan Biji to found, because it is located Yu Shaoshi in the mountain jungle, therefore "Shaolin Temple". The Northern Wei Dynasty filial piety prosperous three years (the A.D. 527 years) Buddha's 28th generation of bodhi reaches touches the lasted three years to arrive Shaolin Temple, the biography zen, affects enormously. Therefore, Shaolin Temple is called by world Buddhism as "the imperial sacrifices courtyard", and in this foundation rapid development, after specially Tang tenth day three sticks monks rescued Li Shimin to obtain the Tang dynasty highly to take, to win "world first checked" the fine reputation.

少林寺常住院导游词2024 篇3
各位朋友大家好：
我们今天参观游览的是国家5A级景区、世界文化遗产、天下第一名刹、禅宗祖庭功夫圣地——少林寺!
北魏太和十七年，孝文帝把都城从山西大同迁到了河南洛阳，来到洛阳后推行了一系列的汉化政策，同时也建造两件影响世人至今的工程：一是修建了龙门石窟，二是修建了少林寺。
当时跟随孝文帝一起来到洛阳城的有一位印度高僧——跋陀。当时孝文帝在全国范围内为跋陀选址修建传法道场，跋陀站在洛阳的城门楼上遥望四方，东南方向群山之中隐隐有紫气升腾，最终找到这个地方就是在嵩山少室山七十二莲花峰围绕中的一小片平地，这个寺庙也因为位于少室山下的密林里面而得名——少林寺。
少林寺自建寺之初就是皇家寺庙，往来的又都是达官贵人加之皇帝不断的赏赐，所以少林从一开始就田产众多、富有异常。在后来的封建王朝历史上又因为和政治分不开的关系，成为各大势力争相拉拢的对象。
很多人了解少林寺都是从83年李连杰演的那一版《少林寺》开始的，电影里给我们讲述了一个十三棍僧救秦王的故事，这个故事的原型是这样的：在隋末唐初，当时的中原地区有一位军阀叫王世充。王世充相信一句话：得中原者得天下。所以他在中原地区积极的向外扩张，我们都知道打仗的时候“兵马未动粮草要先行”，为了保证士兵在前线安心打仗，王世充就指示自己的侄子王仁则到各地搜刮粮食。王仁则是一个比较聪明的人，他知道饱经战乱的中原地区普通老百姓手里是没有什么粮食的，他们可是依靠吃草根树皮存活的;乡绅富户吧粮食你搜一次可以、两次也可以、那三次四次呢?他们家里保存下来的粮食也是家人的活命粮，不可能全部交出来;所以他想到了少林寺——关于当时的少林寺有这样一句话来形容她“少林土地大无边，北到黄河南到山”，意思是当时的少林寺土地很多，从登封北面的黄河开始一直到南面的山(不是大家今天看到的嵩山，而是现在河南省版图最西南方南阳那里的伏牛山)中间这么一大片广袤的地方只要见山的地方都归少林寺所有。少林寺当时在洛阳偃师的柏谷庄建有一个大粮仓，而柏谷庄粮仓就位于王世充的管辖范围里面，所以王仁则就抢了柏谷庄的粮食。但是王仁则又是一个比较蠢笨的人，他抢了粮食没有赶紧跑，反而派人一把火烧了柏谷庄粮仓。少林寺的方丈很生气：想我少林自建寺之初就是皇家寺庙，不要说你一个小小的将军，哪怕是皇帝来了也对我少林礼遇有加，你抢了我的粮食我权当开仓赈灾救济灾民了，可是你烧了我的粮仓，建一个粮仓不是一朝一夕的事情，我以后再有粮食往哪里存呢?没地方存这些粮食就会发霉烂掉，那我以后拿什么来救济灾民呢?于是派出了十三棍僧去捉拿王仁则，一定要给你一点颜色看一看：让你知道什么叫天高地厚，什么叫皇家寺庙
不可欺!李世民这时又刚好度过黄河来到了中原地区，王世充给王仁则下了一个命令——活捉李世民，万不得已的时候乱箭射死。十三棍僧就是在这样一种情况之下救下了被王仁则追拿的李世民，把他藏于少林的后山之上养伤，伤好之后有乔装打扮送他渡过黄河，回到了李唐王朝军队的管辖范围之内。李世民登基称帝之后，为感念少林寺的救命之恩亲自颁诏书赏赐少林寺40顷的土地，救他的十三位僧人每人紫罗袈裟、九环锡杖、这十三人还可以还俗入庙堂为高官皇帝还可以亲自为十三人保媒娶妻生子。少林寺接受了40顷的土地，而十三位僧人依旧留于寺内常伴佛祖，李世民说“少林寺的僧人是真真正正的清心寡欲潜心向佛，于是准许少林寺教养僧兵。自此之后少林寺有了护寺僧兵，这些僧兵战时保家卫国，和平时期就保护少林寺寺众及周围山民的安全。这些僧兵在封建社会史上给少林寺带来了无上的荣耀，同样也在封建社会末期给少林寺带来了灭顶之灾：满清政府入关后对佛教和道教的不支持，导致了龙门石窟在清朝末年时期的毁坏和少林寺在整个清朝时期的衰败。，中原地区又有了一位军阀叫石友三，他也相信一句话“得中原者得天下”，他也想当皇帝，他也相中了少林寺。可是他看重的不是少林寺的粮食，这时的少林寺已经没什么粮食了，他看中的是少林寺的僧兵。历史上少林寺的僧兵只要归了哪一股势力所有，这一股势力必将能够坐稳江山一统天下(唐朝时期归了李世民、宋朝时归了赵匡胤、明朝时归了朱元璋)。石友三来到少林寺，想要少林的僧兵归他所有，为他打江山，并且给主持许诺：江山打下来之后俩人土地平分、金钱平分、美女也同样平分!住持拒绝了他：想我少林寺自建寺以来就以拯救天下黎民苍生为己任，今天你石友三想的不是战争结束后怎样去安抚黎民百姓，帮他们过上好日子，而是怎样去享受荣华富贵、平分江山美女和金钱，我少林寺坚决不能跟他在一起，否则必然会毁了我少林千年基业啊!石友三在一怒之下放火烧了少林寺，后来石友三被蒋介石活埋，算是为少林报了一大仇，但是少林寺千百年以来保存下来的建筑、经书、秘籍都在这一场大火当中被毁，经过全体寺僧及周围山民的努力只抢救下来了最后一进建筑——西方圣人殿。
我们现在所在的位置是少林寺的山门门口，大家请看左右两侧的石牌坊、高高的红色旗杆、以及门口的石狮子都是在明朝嘉靖年间的时候为了表彰少林寺僧人到东南沿海抗击倭寇的功劳由皇帝御赐下来的一整套门头，值得我们注意的是这高高的旗杆——全国所有寺庙之中唯有少林寺才有的武僧挂帅出征的时候挂帅旗的地方，二八年大火时原来的木质旗杆被烧毁，现在的旗杆是我们后来复制的。大家爱再来看山门上方的牌匾“少林寺”三个大字是清朝时康熙皇帝御笔亲题，“林”字正上方有康熙宝鉴印章一枚，“寺”字在二八年大火中被烧毁，后来由佛教协会前任会长赵朴初居士补写上去的。山门内供奉未来世佛祖弥勒佛，根据佛经教历的记载：56.7亿年后我们大家现在所处的这个世界会有一次大的灾难，所有有生灵万物都将遭受涂炭，可是释迦却无力拯救我们。到时候就由这位弥勒佛来拯救我们脱离苦海，弥勒也因为这一天大的功劳接替释迦成为佛祖。佛祖神像和木质佛龛都是清朝时期的作品。我们进门的时候参拜一下弥勒佛然后再进寺庙。
进来之后大家 转身来看一看山门后面的韦陀菩萨，韦陀菩萨手中的金刚宝杵一头捣地一头立于手中，这表明少林寺是一个子孙庙。也就是说“外来的和尚会念经”这一句话在少林寺是不管用的，外来的僧人来到少林寺只能免费吃住3天，3天以后白天可以来参禅悟道，但是吃饭和住宿问题要自己去外面化缘。
现在我们走的这个莲花甬道左右两边都是历史上以及各地少林下院和弟子留下的纪念碑，两侧的树木基本上都是在嵩山古树名录登记在册的，大家来看看这些树身上都有一个一
个的小洞洞，这些洞洞都是少林寺僧人在练习少林绝技“一指禅”的时候一指一指戳出来的。尤其是这一棵巨大的银杏树，少林寺建寺之前这一棵银杏树就已经存在了，少林寺至今已经有1520xx年的历史了，所以这一棵银杏树至少已经有1519岁了。银杏是雌雄异株，只有相互授粉后雌树才会开花结果，可是这一棵是一棵雄树，既不会开花也不会结果，但是在佛祖面前聆听了1500多年的教诲也应该修成了罗汉果，所以又俗称“罗汉树”。我们来了解一下这两方碑刻：前面这一个上面写着“少林秘籍，国之瑰宝”是金庸大师来到少林寺的时候留下的纪念碑，金庸大事一声写了很多武侠小说，每一本里面少林寺都是天下功夫的祖庭也正式印证了“中国功夫贯天下，天下功夫出少林”这句话。后面这一个写着“泉州少林寺归山纪念碑”，我们都知道在福建有南少林，但是福州也说找到了南少林遗址，泉州也说找到了南少林遗址，相比较而言泉州南少林就比较聪明，找到遗址后赶快来到我们嵩山少林寺认祖归宗，所以我承认的南少林只有泉州南少林。
大家抬头向上看，“天下第一祖庭”六个大字是乾隆皇帝御笔亲题，值得是少林乃是禅宗祖庭。左右两边分别是 哼哈二将，是佛教届的护法神。天王殿的后面供奉着四大天王，分别时东方持国天王手持琵琶，南方增长天王手握宝剑，西方广目天王手持龙蛇，北方多闻天王手持宝伞。四大天王代表了中国古代农业制社会中对风调雨顺、国泰民安、五谷丰登的美好寓意。
在这里我们看到了2块玻璃罩起来的古碑。首先看右边这一块，在车上给大家讲过十三棍僧救秦王的故事，这个故事在《唐史》当中有确切的典籍记载，但年李世民为了感激少林寺的救命之恩，还在诏书上签下了自己的名字。这一块碑刻是在大唐开元十六年的时候由李世民的孙子唐玄宗李隆基请人镌刻的，记载的内容就是十三棍僧救秦王的故事。碑文分为三部分，最上方碑额“太宗文皇帝御书”七个大字是唐玄宗李隆基亲笔题写;第二部分长方型的框框里就是当年李世民所下诏书的全部内容 ，从右向左数第五列有李世民在诏书上亲笔草签的自己的名字“世民”二字;在碑的背面诏书又刻了一份，救李世民的十三位僧人的法号也都镌刻于此。我们来看一下这一块《混元三教九流图赞碑》：正中间有一幅图画，正面来看就是一个打坐的僧人，但是我们从僧人的鼻子那里分开，就是两个人鼻子对鼻子脸对脸，我们各看到的半边侧面像，把右边遮盖起来左面就是一个头戴方巾的人--中国古代时期典型的儒生形象，而把左边遮盖起来右边是一个头戴小圆帽--中国古代时期的道士形象。分别代表了三个人物：佛祖释迦、先师孔子、老子李耳，中国的三大宗教在嵩山都有自己的祖庭：佛家有天下第一名刹、禅宗祖庭、功夫圣地少林寺;儒家有北宋时期最知名的四大皇家书院之首的嵩阳书院;道家有道教三十六小洞天之一的中岳大帝庙。这一幅图也说明了三教一体，九流一源，共同起源于我们嵩山这里。
大雄宝殿是一个寺庙最重要的一进建筑，少林寺的大雄宝殿和其它寺庙的相同之处有以下2点：1、正中央供奉三尊主佛，从东向西分别是东方净琉璃世界的佛祖药师佛，他所掌管的世界是一个没有病痛的世界，那里的人们永远不会生病;中间娑婆世界的佛祖释迦，他所掌管的就是我们大家所处的这个红尘世界，这里有生老病死有痛苦有欢乐;西方极乐世界的佛祖阿弥佗佛，他说掌管的世界是我们凡尘中的人们百年之后人人向往的地方 ;2、东西两侧分别是十八罗汉;不同的地方为：1、药师佛的左手边有一位络腮胡子、扛着一根禅杖、背着一个斗笠的和尚，他就是少林禅宗初祖菩提达摩祖师;2、阿弥佗佛的右手边同样有一个络腮胡子、手持一根烧火棍的僧人，这位就是紧那罗王，在红巾军起义时曾扬言要火烧少林，我们都知道少林寺武功最高的都是哪些人呢?后院扫地的、藏经楼二楼整理经书的、僧伙房里烧火的、红巾军很不幸就碰到了我们这位烧火的小沙弥，当时他口中念念有词说“我是紧
那罗王转世，专为拯救少林此次灾难而来”，以一人之力抵挡了整个红巾军的侵犯，自此之后少林僧人就将紧那罗王供于大雄宝殿之内享受香火;3、立柱下都有一尊麒麟，麒麟是皇室的标志，这里有麒麟可以证明(1)少林寺是皇家寺庙(2)少林寺所传承的禅宗一脉是已经完全汉化的中国式佛教。
我们来看一下藏经阁下面的这一口巨锅：明朝是历史上少林寺最为鼎盛的时期之一，我们现在所在的这里在当时就有僧人20xx人，这一口重达一千三百斤的锅就是万历年间少林寺僧伙房里炒菜所用的最小的一口锅，只有吵到精致小炒的时候才会用到它!炒菜的时候这口锅架起来，左右两边分别立一根立柱，上面大气一根横梁，炒菜的师傅用脚倒挂在横梁上头朝下进行翻炒，这也是少林绝技之一倒挂金钟的练习。
金庸大师小说里描述的少林寺的武功秘籍都藏放在藏经阁的二楼的说法是正确的，以前的藏经阁也确实是二层建筑，但是在82年重修的时候只修了一层。藏金阁正中供奉的是缅甸一位居士捐赠的白玉卧佛，左右两边分别是藏放经书的小柜子。有人谣传说“现在的少林寺不务正业、方丈更是怎样怎样的”请大家看一下这块展板：20xx年(佛历2547年)的时候少林现任方丈释永信大师发下宏愿：筹建少理慈幼院，救助天下孤儿。被救助的孤儿直到大学毕业所有的花销全部由少林寺供给，少林高僧到五岳名山采集灵石圣土、以黄河长江水浇筑了五方宝佛，同时邀请全球64位高僧共同开光为这些孤儿祈福做公德。
这一进建筑并不是很大，但是却是少林寺非常重要的地方。方丈室是少林历代方丈生活起居的地方，主持和方丈虽然只差了一张皇帝的诏书，但是主持就没有资格入住方丈室，满清政府从未册封过少林方丈所以清朝的200多年时间里这间屋子只有一个人住过——清朝的乾隆皇帝。少林寺的方丈是终身制，如果老方丈在有生之年找到了心仪的弟子把方丈之位传于弟子，弟子居于方丈室，那师傅就的搬到这个静中静里来养老了。元朝至正年间的时候，日本僧人邵元曾经来到少林寺学习天文、历法、佛学等知识，在他学成归国(公元1347年)的时候与我们少林僧人一起种下的2棵友谊树——中间是一棵柏树外面围绕一棵藤缠树，距今已经有666年的历史了。
达摩来到中原地区后，有一位中国高僧神光一直追随着他 ，想要拜他为师，达摩却一直不肯收他为徒。公元536年冬天的一个夜晚，当时达摩在达摩亭内静坐修禅，而神光就站在外面等候达摩的指示。直到第二天早上达摩禅定结束，看到神光还咋还站在亭外，雪下了一夜，神光已经变成了一个雪人。就问神光“你站在这里干什么?”神光说“求师傅传法于我”，达摩就说“要我传法给你，除非天降红雪”，神光知道达摩是在考验他的心智是否足够坚定，于是抽出了随身佩戴的戒刀，一刀砍去了自己的左臂，血洒了一地。佛祖感知到东方弟子有难，于是把身上的袈裟撒向东方，整个嵩山笼罩在一片红光之中，也就是说天下起了红雪。达摩看到神光的诚心已经感动了佛祖，于是把自己的衣钵法器都传给了神光并为他取名为“慧可”，意思是凭你的智慧尚可以传承佛法。当年乾隆皇帝听了这个故事后非常感动，提笔写下了“雪印心珠”四个大字，现依旧悬挂于亭内。此殿正中供奉的是达摩祖师。
眼前的这个高台之上的建筑就是在二八年大火当中唯一保存下来的建筑，上台阶的时候大家看一下这个大理石雕 ：蟠龙玉柱、江山树、八宝莲花、五福同寿、日月齐晖，处处体现出了一个皇家寺庙应有的规制。有人说前面我们看到的那些建筑都是在艰苦年代重修的，自然没有什么豪华之处，之前肯定是金碧辉煌的!请大家来看一看明朝鼎盛时期的少林寺所修建的这一进建筑：没有雕梁画栋、也没有飞檐翘角，处处体现出简朴、低调的风格，
这是因为少林僧人一直谨记：佛祖和僧人起居的地方不需要太豪华，只要心诚即可!大殿四周的墙壁上是明朝时期绘制的五百罗汉，历经近520xx年的历史壁画依旧色泽艳丽。当时为了使壁画的色泽更加艳丽画师们在颜料里掺入了铅粉。铅是一种半放射性元素，随着时间的增长会慢慢的挥发并导致壁画的颜色发生变化，据说记住其中某一位罗汉的身形样貌，30年之后再来观看会有细微的变化，60年之后却是大大不同!
