Dinghui Temple: Ten Thousand Buddha Pagoda

定慧寺

江蘇鎮江

位於江蘇省鎮江市東北長江江心的焦山南麓,為鎮江最大之古剎。始建於東漢興平年間(194~195),名普濟庵,後毀。宋代(960~1279)擴建,改名普濟禪院。元代(1271~1368)易名為焦山寺,不久毀於兵火。明宣德年間(1426~1435)重建,正統年間(1436~1449)增建,有殿宇、屋舍九十八間,與金山寺齊名。清康熙四十二年(1703),取「由戒生定,由定生慧」之意,賜名定慧寺。一九八三年列為中國「漢族地區佛教全國重點寺院」。
 該寺坐北朝南,中軸線上自南而北依序有山門、天王殿、大雄寶殿、藏經閣,兩側為鐘樓、鼓樓、伽藍殿、祖師殿等,寺前有照壁及四柱三間牌坊,焦山頂峰有萬佛塔。大雄寶殿為重檐廡殿頂,殿內供奉釋迦牟尼佛、藥師佛和阿彌陀佛;該殿雖屢經修葺,仍保存明代(1368~1644)風格。天王殿前院中有一座御碑亭,碑陽、碑陰分別鐫刻清乾隆皇帝(1735~1796在位)二次南巡焦山時所作詩歌,古樸美觀。萬佛塔於一九九八年奠基,次年落成,為八角七層樓閣式,鋼筋混凝土結構,高42公尺,雄偉壯觀。
