大溪齋明寺

　　大溪齋明寺主祀觀音菩薩，為大溪最古老的禪寺，方位座東北朝西南，寺前有雙重牆欄，入口立有成對門柱，上題「莊嚴憑法音，圓覺悟禪機」，環境清幽，隔絕塵囂，大有禪寺風雅寧靜的氛圍。

　　齋明寺創建時原名「福份宮」，是齋教龍華派齋堂。齋教即「在家佛教」，興起於明朝中葉，信眾在家持齋，不需出家。清嘉慶年間齋教大量進入臺灣，同治12年（1873），第二代住持黃普瑟整修草庵築堂，改稱齋明堂。大正元年（1912）擴建正殿與兩側廂房，昭和4年（1929）廟後興建翠靈塔，供民眾安奉祖先遺骨。昭和12年（1937）日本政府進行「宗教整理」，更名為齋明寺，民國88年（1999）歸法鼓山門下。

　　齋明寺原為單進兩護龍三合院式廟宇，後增建為單進四護龍，舊時中庭植草皮，屋頂牆身與一般民居無異，正殿無檐廊為其特色，風貌古樸，與齋教在家持齋修道精神映合。而現今庭院設施與客房、佛堂等現代建築為第七代主持聖嚴法師時期陸續增建，其採用減法、單純與低調的手法，降低禪堂屋簷、運用清水混凝土、迴廊等元素，讓新建築如背景一般，突顯百年古剎的歷史風華，曾獲「2012臺灣建築獎」首獎殊榮。

　　齋明堂自始即與大溪地區士紳密切互動，大溪、龍潭的廟宇興廟建醮祭典，都會前來恭請觀音菩薩前往作客。

史料原文/譯文

The oldest Zen Temple in Daxi, the Zhaiming Temple faces southwest and worships Guanyin Bodhisattva. With a double-walled entryway, one sees a paired pillar inscribed with "A Splendidness with Dharma, and a Perfect Enlightenment through Zen-ness," one finds oneself immersed in the area's serenity. Originally named "Fufen Gong," it was part of the Zhaijiao (Vegetarian Sect), also known as Lay Buddhism, in which the practitioners did not need to lead a monastic lifestyle. Originated in the Ming Dynasty, the temple was part of the Lay Buddhism's establishment. The religion saw its rising during Qing Dynasty, and in 1873 the practitioners fixed a hut to build the temple. The main hall and side wings were added in 1912, with names changed at later times to make offerings to the ancestral remains. In the name of "Religious Registration," the Japanese changed to its current name in 1937, and has been under the Dharma Drum Mountain's system since 1999. The temple was Sanheyuan-styled with two winged-rooms; later expanded into two sets of winged-rooms on both sides; it had a plant-covered courtyard layout with roofs and walls similar to residential homes in the neighborhood. Prominent features include a lack of eaves gallery: a modest design compatible with the religious spirit. Modern additions such as the garden, the guestrooms and the Buddha Hall were built during Master Sheng Yen's time. With the minimalist and low-key designs, the roof edges were lowered and fair-faced concrete applied, accentuating its century old magnificence. The additional features were what made the Temple win the 2012 won first prize in 2012 Taiwan Architecture Award. This has been a temple with close ties with the local gentry, where offerings would be made to the Guanyin Bodhisattva during temple construction and ceremonies in Daxi and Longtan.
