光孝寺

在祖國南方都市有這麼一座輝煌古寺，實屬難得。寺院諸多古建留存，大殿、古塔、鐵塔、菩提樹等，不愧為國家級重點文物保護單位。

路線：廣州地鐵一號線西門口站C出口出，出站步行兩分鐘就到。門票：免費。周邊美食：光孝寺前的光孝路都是小吃店，有老字號的榮生，德記順德菜，同泰腸粉，還有麥當勞，卡朋西餐等等。走過中山六路的小巷子還有很多網紅咖啡館。

2023年疫情防控放開，廣州光孝寺終於正常開放！大年初一人山人海，不過管理秩序井然 ，大家也文明地排隊入場，現場不能明火上香，多了很多鮮花！整體感覺更加好！👍👍👍

嶺南大寺，千年古剎，香火鼎盛（其實已改為鮮花素果供奉）。風幡之辯流傳千古，寺中有禪宗六祖惠能大師的瘞髮塔，流連於此只覺莊嚴肅穆。每日都有義工免費提供導覽服務，非常貼心。

光孝寺位於廣東省廣州市越秀區光孝路北端。據史料記載，此處初為公元前200年南越王趙建德故宅。三國吳騎都尉虞翻謫居於此講學，闢為苑囿。虞翻逝，家人舍宅作寺，初名制止寺。后歷代多次更改寺名，直至南宋稱報恩廣孝寺，不久后改廣字為光字，名光孝寺至今。光孝寺建築結構嚴謹，殿宇雄偉壯觀，整個建築群具有鮮明的嶺南建築特色，為嶺南叢林之冠。寺內文物史跡眾多，行走廣州，一定要去嶺南第一名剎光孝寺走走看看拜一拜。進門一剎那，就被它的宏偉建築群和莊嚴氣氛所震撼。作為全國重點文物保護單位，這裏沒有明火燒香，代之以大片鮮花禮佛，心意誠然。

Guangxiao Temple is the longest and most influential temple hall in Lingnan. Its magnificent and magnificent architectural structure is meticulous and rigorous. It shows the essence of Chinese Zen culture. The Daxiong Palace, which was built in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, is the main building hall. Among the three statues built in the hall, around Sakyamuni is Manjusri Bodhisattva and Puxian Bodhisattva. On the west side of Daxiong Palace, where the Tibetan King Bodhisattva and Guan Sheng Emperor are unique in Guangdong Buddhism, there is also a hall dedicated to Sakyamuni Buddha's lying face, which is carved from white jade in Myanmar and is 4 meters long and 6 tons heavy. The Nirvana statue of Sakyamuni is carved with six Buddhist ancestors, Huineng, who worshipped Buddhism before the solemn Buddha's lying down, feels that there is a Buddhist tradition of Bodhisattva tree outside the solemn hall. Before that, there was a plague tower, which was a pavilion-like brick tower with eight-cornered seven stories and seven stories high. It was built in the Tang Dynasty by Huineng, the sixth ancestor of Huineng, where his hair was cut and buried after he was disciplined. The ancient pagoda of Sui and Tang Dynasty was one of the few precious cultural relics preserved in China so far. Many believers circled around three times and prayed ten times.
