雲居聖水寺位於浙江杭州西南雲居山上,雲居山位於吳山(又名七寶山)之西南,面聖湖,倚楓林。吳山之北有紫芳嶺,上有聖水巖,巉石突兀,勢若垂雲。唐咸通中(八六〇~八七三),道膺禪師遊杭州,入七寶山,愛其山麓(即雲居山)之勝,就樹結菴,顏曰雲居。宋元祐間(一〇八六~一〇九三),佛印禪師喜聖水巖之幽勝,乃安禪以聖水名其寺。元代中峰和尚重建,眾僧雲集,漸成叢林,名與五山十剎並列,趙孟頫手書「雲居」匾額。明洪武二十四年(一三九一),勅旨歸併天下寺院,聖水寺併入雲居菴,賜額「雲居聖水禪寺」。其地襟江帶湖,與天竺、靈隱並稱古剎勝覽。而中峰禪師之髮爪舍利藏寺中之塔,頗為後人瞻仰。清雍正年間,釋𧧌湛偕門人釋明倫為輯寺志,乾隆年間,釋通淵偕門人釋實懿重纂之。釐為六卷,分十一門:形勝、建置、祖師、耆宿、僑寓、靈異、古蹟、題詠、法譜、贊偈、清規,前冠寺圖,末附補遺。形勝一門,紀山水。建置一門,僅紀現存者。祖師一門,僅列光耀本寺之祖師,即道膺、佛印、中峰等七位之簡傳。耆宿一門,則記有功於本寺之僧侶。僑寓一門,記古今高人達士之寄寓本山者。靈異一門,記自唐至明六百餘載之異徵。古蹟一門,凡本寺之建置,今已廢者,列入古蹟。題詠一門,錄歷代文士關於本寺之詩文。法譜一門,錄塔傳、歷代禪祖、本寺高僧傳、壽序、菴記、塔記等。贊偈一門,錄贊、詩、疏、偈等文。清規一門,除僧燦與明本所訂之清規外,文疏之屬亦附焉。本志分門明晰,然體例紊亂,恐係增補之故也。此志初刻於乾隆二十七年(一七六二),光緒十八年(一八九二)錢塘丁氏重刻。兹據清光緒十八年錢塘嘉惠堂丁氏重刋本景印。

The Gazetteer of Yunju Shengshui Temple, originally compiled by the Ming Dynasty monk Minglun and later revised and expanded by the monks Tongyuan and Shiyi in the Qing Dynasty, is a significant Buddhist temple chronicle documenting the history of Shengshui Temple on Mount Yunju in Jiangxi. This work provides a detailed account of the temple’s rise and decline since its founding in the Tang Dynasty, including the activities of eminent monks who resided there, temple property regulations, and inscriptions, poems, and literary works left by scholars and artists throughout history. Rich in content, it serves as a valuable document for studying the Buddhist history of Mount Yunju and Chan (Zen) culture, particularly in relation to the development of the Caodong school. Holding an important place among Buddhist historical records, it offers key source material for exploring temple economies, religious institutions, and the interaction between monasteries and local society during the Ming and Qing periods, possessing high academic and cultural value.
