Dafo Temple: Great Buddha Pavilion

大佛寺

重慶潼南

又稱南禪寺、定明院。位於重慶市潼南縣城西北1.5公里處定明山麓。始建於南宋建炎元年(1127),因供奉大佛,故稱大佛寺。
 該寺今存大佛閣、觀音殿、玉皇殿、鑒亭四座木結構古建築。大佛閣依山而建,為七重檐歇山式建築,景象壯觀。閣內摩崖雕刻大佛坐像,高約27公尺。以大佛閣為中心,在東西長達里許的崖壁上,有隋代(581~618)至宋代(960~1279)一百二十餘個龕像,大多為唐代(618~907)所造。東崖面三個隋代造像小龕,現存開皇十一年(591)與大業六年(610)紀年題記,是重慶地區少有的隋代紀年造像龕。另有歷代文人墨客書寫的題記、詩詠、碑碣、造像題記等八十餘則,裝金楹聯鐫刻二十則。
