華嚴寺薄伽教藏殿

山西大同

位於山西省大同市華嚴寺下寺。據梁上題記,建於遼重熙七年(1038),為華嚴寺現存年代最早的建築。薄伽,乃梵語Bhagavat音譯之略,意譯為世尊,是佛的十個稱號之一;薄伽教,即佛教;藏殿就是專門存放佛經的殿堂。該殿曾儲藏契丹版大藏經及遼(907~1125)金(1115~1234)佛教經典,均已散失,現存明(1368~1644)清(1644~1911)藏經一千七百餘函,計一萬八千餘冊。
 該殿為單檐歇山頂,面闊五間,進深四間,建於「凸」字形平面的高台上,殿頂舉折平緩,出檐深遠,猶存唐代(618~907)建築風格。殿內中央設倒「凹」形佛壇,壇上彩塑計二十九尊,主尊三世佛,另有十方菩薩、聲聞、羅漢、一切聖賢等,塑繪精美,是遼代雕塑的典範之作。
 殿內沿牆建儲藏經卷的木櫥,為有腰檐平座的樓閣形,稱「天宮壁藏」。壁藏全為木構,共三十八間,下為束腰須彌座,上置經櫥,內存藏經;經櫥之上為腰檐平座,其上置佛龕,外設勾欄,上覆木質瓦頂、脊獸和鴟吻。後壁中部壁藏中斷,僅上部用弧形飛橋連通,橋上建天宮樓閣。此壁藏的柱、闌額、斗栱、翼角瓦件及勾欄均依實物比例縮製,為遼代精確的木建築模型,是中國古代小木作的存世珍品。
