  • 红螺寺是位于中国北京郊区的一座佛教寺庙。具体位于距离怀柔区北部4公里处的红螺山上。寺庙始建于后赵建武十四年/东晋永和四年。东晋初期，来自西域的佛僧图澄前往中国传教，受到了中国北方王国后赵皇帝的支持与款待。在后赵境内修建了大小佛寺893所，红螺寺是其中保的最完整的一寺。红螺寺是北京郊区较知名的名胜之一，也是最为中国北方古老的佛寺之一，并流传有“南有普陀，北有红螺”的说法，被人们称为“千年古刹”或“京北第一古刹”。据《念诵仪规》中记载，在13位西天东士历代祖师中第12位“红螺资福醒公大师”即出于此寺。 红螺寺的西边500米处曾有一泓名曰“珍珠泉”的泉水，据说泉中有两只红色的大螺蛳，每到夕阳西下，螺蛳会吐出红光，百里可见。红螺山和红螺寺就由此得名。红螺死后，葬于寺内，并建有两座宝塔以志纪念。
