大足寶頂山石窟大佛灣第3龕六道輪迴圖

重慶大足

位於南崖東段。第3龕為平頂方形龕,寬4.8公尺,高7.8公尺。此圖根據《根本說一切有部毘奈耶》卷三十四經文而造,所刻內容和形式與經文基本相同。圖上方刻三世佛。圖中央立一高大的無常大鬼,手捧圓形巨輪。輪依同心圓方式劃分為四重,第一重於圓心部位刻一行者結跏趺坐於蓮座上,其胸際發出六道毫光;毫光上刻諸佛、菩薩像,表其出離六道。行者像左刻鴿,下刻蛇,右刻豬,表三不善根貪、瞋、癡三毒。三毒為一切煩惱之根本,眾生受其纏縛有差異,故造作善惡不同之業,因此獲不同果報。
 輪的第二重刻天、阿修羅、人、地獄、畜生、餓鬼,共六道。第三重刻「十二緣起」的圖像十八幅,表眾生因無明而引發種種煩惱,又因煩惱,而造下種種的業,再由不同的業,在六道中輪迴,無有出期。第四重刻投胎生死圖像十八幅,均於罐形物中現人和各種動物首足;頭表受生,腳表死亡,如此周而復始流轉不停,表果報不止,業力不休,投胎轉世。於輪左下刻一裸體雄猴,抬頭立於身側的少女表愛,右下方刻文武二驕橫官員表貪。四者均以手拱輪,表因貪愛而輪迴不休。
 此圖除圖像之外還刻有銘文,圖文皆反復說明貪愛是萬惡的根源,只有勤修戒、定、慧,息滅貪、瞋、癡,才能出離六道輪迴而成輪外諸佛、菩薩。
