龍興祥符戒壇寺位於浙江杭州仁和縣錢塘門內虎林山之側。寺創始於蕭梁之初，為僧祐律師所剏。大同二年（五三六）始建「發心寺」，至隋改名「眾善寺」，唐神龍元年（七〇五）改名「中興寺」，三年（七〇七）又改名「龍興寺」，此龍興寺之始也。吳越錢王寶正六年（九三一）立戒壇院，此戒壇寺之始也。宋祥符初，龍興寺改名「大中祥符寺」，始有「祥符」之名。時合稱「龍興祥符律寺」。建炎初，寺毀於兵，紹興間始再重建。其間寺址曾為臨安府治、軍器所、貢院、酒庫。德祐二年（一二七六）元兵至，城陷寺毀。元至元二十八年（一二九一）重建，始合稱之曰「龍興祥符戒壇寺」。元末又毀。明洪武間重建，萬曆四十一年（一六一三）始復戒壇寺舊額，天啟七年（一六二七）建祥符寺，崇禎九年（一六三六）贖龍興寺地。有清一代，屢有增修，至光緒年間，已析為龍興、祥符、戒壇三寺，因同出一源，亦同處一隅，乃合稱為「龍興祥符戒壇寺」。光緒間，仁和張大昌手纂寺志，未及付梓而卒，俞樾為之序。寺志分九門：建置、寺宇、古蹟、金石、僧伽著述、僧伽表、僧伽列傳、雜述、題詠，釐為十二卷。建置一門，按年編次，以綱目體記三寺之興廢。寺宇一門，記現存之殿、堂、祠、庵等。古蹟一門，考文獻所載之舊蹟。金石一門，錄古物金石文字，佚者錄文獻之所載，存者錄其文。僧伽著述一門，則著錄本寺僧侶之著述，間錄序跋。僧伽表一門，乃擬漢書人表，以表列三寺之僧侶。僧伽列傳一門，則為重要高僧之傳略，偏於行誼。雜述一門則記雜事逸聞。題詠一門，乃錄歷代文士之詩文。所據資料皆注出處，搜羅弘富。光緒十九年（一八九三）錢塘丁氏為之刋行。茲據丁氏刋本景印。
