五祖寺

需要自駕，上山的路就很美。寺中的建築是明清到現代的重建。部分古樹古塔是千年以上。旁邊的當代建築，也值得駐足。寺后的上山古道，到達半山亭就可以了。山頂的建築在爛尾狀態。停車免費，景區免費，遊客不多。

我曾兩次騎摩托由浠水來到五祖寺景區，昨天是從蘄春青石鎮那邊翻山越嶺先到太平森林公園(也說太平寨)，感嘆高山流水之中遇上紐賓凱度假酒店(小鎮規模)，建築群徽派氣息，基礎建設也趨完善。導航以及問路得知可通黃梅老祖寺，令我竊喜，因為我一向喜歡朝拜聖佛、佛門凈地。進入黃梅地界，路面兩車道，很快來到天龍庵上邊的遊客中心(還沒建好)。順路而下，就來到老祖寺。湖水、藍天、白雲、古剎交相輝映，風和日麗，美景如畫，令人流連！玩夠了看夠了，順山小心而下來到五祖寺，距離不短哈！意欲陪老婆觀瞻名寺，哪曉得該寺也是閉門謝客。新添建築多處，規模較大，能與江西廬山東林寺大佛那裡媲美！

位於湖北黃梅縣城北的東山上，門樓的左右兩側是青條石頭砌成的圍牆，依山傍洞，十分險峻，迎面是三千株千年油朴樹。

停車免費，門票免費，清凈優美，有素菜館

黃梅必去景點，趣味性強，值得一去

五祖寺非常有名，離黃梅城關不遠，交通方便，市區可以叫車去，這個寺廟曉得人不多，一般都是附近的。聽說四祖在國外。

Wuzu Temple is located on the Dongshan Mountain of Wuzu Town, 12 kilometers east of Huangmei County, Hubei Province. Founded in the fifth year of Yonghui Tang Dynasty (654), it is the temple of the fifth generation of Chinese Zen master Hong Ning. It is also the holy place where Master Huineng, the sixth generation of Zen Buddhism, can receive clothes and bowls properly. It was granted by the emperor as "the world's ancestral court". On both sides of the temple gate are inscribed two famous murals about the Bodhi Tree and the Mirror Platform by Huineng, the sixth ancestor, and Shenxiu, the Northern Zong. The current abbot Zhengci, Vice President of the Chinese Buddhist Association and the Buddhist Association of Hubei Province, is the seventy-third generation heir of the temple. He was stationed at the Wuzu Temple on October 10, 2013. On the hill behind the temple, you can see the beautiful scenery of the plain below the mountain. The temple can be accommodated by residents or believers in good conditions. Ramadan is also served.
