画舫推开三月的烟波，垂柳蘸着桃色在碧空写意。苏堤春晓揉碎了千年月光，烟雨裁成白居易的诗行，新燕衔着苏东坡的韵脚掠过断桥。茶山捧出龙井的嫩芽，把时光酿成一杯清欢。你与江南，只差一个西湖之春——看黛色山岚漫过亭台，看落花驮着宋词款款入画。此刻，风是吴侬软语，水是流动的平仄。

作为一座显赫一时的千年古刹，上天竺法喜寺以其佛教文化内涵和其独擅胜场的景色吸引人。古人赞上天竺景色称：“万竹参霄，碧荫数里，寂然空谷，惟闻泉声。
法喜讲寺，又名上天竺，座落在杭州市天竺山白云峰麓。与西湖周围山水诸胜相连，东接中印寺、灵隐寺，南越琅珰岭通龙井、五云山，西出梅灵隧道即为云栖、梅坞诸景。
现在法喜讲寺的殿宇主要有山门、天王殿、圆通宝殿、大雄宝殿、藏经楼、毗卢殿等建筑，布局庄严，错落有致。千年古刹再现昔日胜景。
法喜寺整个寺庙依山而建，历史上以观音灵验、香火兴旺而闻名大江南北，历代许多帝王临幸上天竺敬香朝拜。尤其是明清以来，每到春香时节，浙东苏南各地的香客纷纷前来天竺敬香，形成每年一度的“天竺香市”，延续至今，经久不衰。
Shangtianzhu Temple is also known as Faxi Temple. It is located at No. 239, Tianzhu Road, Xihu District, Hangzhou. It has a history of over one thousand years and is one of the origins of the Chinese white-dressed Guanyin. Inside the temple, there are ancient buildings such as the Tibetan Buddhist Temple, the Liangfeng Hall, the Thousand Buddhas’ Pavilion, and the Huanghua Pavilion. There are also the Baiyunfeng, Ruituofeng and Ruituoquan scenic attractions nearby. It is a great place to visit and worship the Buddha.

If you come to Hangzhou as a pious supplicant,you don't necessarily have tovist Lingyin Temple-there are so many people there,how could the Buddha respond to all their prayers?The three temples of Tianzhu:Faxi,Fajing and Fa-jing are just next to Lingyin Temple,and are much quieter,purer places compared to the crowded clamour of Lingyin Temple.The Buddha can do his best to answer your prayers there,as you are the only one before him.
不尽西湖美，一品龙井香。

人间天堂，茶韵之都，寻茶杭州，欲把西湖比西子，从来佳茗似
