Yonghe Temple: Stupa
Print on paper
佛塔圖
中國
此藏式覆鉢塔版畫為十九世紀作品，以梵文經咒組成，焰光門內供奉阿彌陀佛坐像。
塔，又稱窣堵波，浮屠，為土堆之意。塔的起源，據《十誦律》載，須達長者曾取佛陀的髮、爪起塔供養。佛入涅槃後，又有八王分舍利，八國分別將所得舍利造塔供奉。
圖中塔身象徵菩提心，塔剎由相輪、華蓋、仰月和寶珠組成。須彌座象徵十善之地，束腰中央飾金剛杵、經咒壼門。佛塔上方為大白傘蓋佛母像，兩側為十方佛坐像，其下為八大菩薩立像；塔剎頂端兩邊為八供養天女，手持幡、幢、花、嗩吶、鼓、鈸、笛等。以上諸尊皆乘雲而至。
佛塔下方有十一護法，皆作左展立姿。此類佛塔圖多用於覆蓋於往生者身上，助其蒙佛護祐，往生淨土。
