Kumbum Monastery Debate College: Wheel of Rebirth

塔爾寺六道輪迴圖

中國

位於塔爾寺(sku 'bum)顯宗學院。十八至十九世紀作品。六道輪迴圖是藏傳佛教壁畫與唐卡經常表現的題材之一,為佛教因果報應思想的反映。
 象徵生死輪迴的圓輪外緣由代表死神的閻摩以四肢緊扣,並以口銜之。閻摩戴骷髏冠,赤髮濃眉,雙眼圓瞪,手戴臂釧和腕釧,雙肩綠色帔帛繞臂,立於蓮台上。
 圓輪中心繪公雞、蛇和豬,代表貪、瞋、癡三毒,即生死煩惱的根本;第二圈象徵通往三惡道之路;第三圈表現六道;最外圈為十二幅連環的因果報應圖。
 六道中的右下方白地條狀區塊代表通往三善道之路,其他區塊由下按順時針方向依序為地獄、餓鬼、畜牲、人、天及非人,每一道均描繪該首受苦或享樂的景像。
 塔爾寺(sku 'bum byams pa gling)各個殿堂均繪有壁畫,壁畫被譽為藝術三絕之一。由十七至二十世紀青海熱貢、湟中的藏族畫師繪製。
