Kaihua Temple Great Hero Hall: Sakyamuni Buddha Assembly (detail)
開化寺佛說法圖
中國
位於大雄寶殿西壁中央，是西壁三幅說法圖中最大的一幅。畫中以釋迦牟尼佛為主尊，下為精美的束腰須彌座，上置華蓋，華蓋兩側飛天乘雲遨翔。華蓋之上繪須彌山，山頂有菩提樹一株。須彌山上方雲氣中化現一佛，作說法狀，周圍眾菩薩聽法。
釋迦牟尼佛側十大弟子侍立，文殊、普賢二菩薩對坐兩側，脇侍菩薩和護法諸天等擁立左右。須彌座前沿兩側供養菩薩胡跪於蓮座上，手捧供物，仰視佛陀。佛座前置三重樓閣狀香爐，金鑄銀飾，光彩奪目。佛前方兩隅眾天人、弟子和官員席地而坐，謙恭聽法。
此幅構圖嚴謹，人物眾多而主從有序，是唐（618～907）宋（960～1279）時期規模宏大、構圖複雜的說法圖典範。
