六祖跟當地陳居士化緣得寶林道場，即今日南華寺及周邊腹地，因教化得度眾生如林，故名寶林道場，現寺內存放六祖大師金剛不壞之身，每日求卓錫泉水之信士絡繹不絕，寺內存有虛雲老和尚舍利塔，供各界信士瞻仰禮拜
別記： 一九四八年，宣化上人跋涉三千多公里来到广东宝林南华寺拜见禅宗大德虚云老和尚
两位大德相见如故，虚云老和尚知宣化上人是载法之器，故于几年后即以灯传上人
这件事一时在佛教界为人津津乐道，传为美谈。因为当时宣公上人只是三十多岁的年轻和尚
据《曹溪通志》记载： 南朝梁武帝天监元年（公元502年），印度高僧智药三藏见此地“山水回合，峰峦奇秀，叹如西天宝林山也”,遂建议地方官奏请武帝建寺。天监三年（公元504年），寺庙建成，梁武帝赐额“宝林寺”，即今南华禅寺前身

Highly recommend this scared place. Master Huineng is legendary! If you are in Guangzhou and have a day to spare. Take the trip. There are two old buildings built by Master Huineng back in 1300 (Tang Dynasty). His body is also in this temple. The compound is quite big, and it took about 1.5 hours to slowly explore. Entrance fee at RMB20.
Took an hour high-speed train from Guangzhou Nan Station to Shaoguang Station, follow by 25mins taxi ride directly to the temple. Remember to have your passport with you when you buy high-speed train tickets. Go early to queue, took me at least an hour to buy. I bought two-way tickets as i didn't want to quene again at Shaoguang. Check the train schedule...
