阿彌陀佛接引圖

內蒙古自治區阿拉善盟額濟納旗黑水城出土

內蒙古自治區阿拉善盟額濟納旗黑水城出土。飄曳的白雲上立阿彌陀佛、觀音菩薩和大勢至菩薩,作接引往生者狀。背景以青色為地,天空金色雲氣聚集,儼然為佛的華蓋。
 《佛說阿彌陀經》載,西方極樂世界是一個極樂淨土;若眾生有具足的善根福德因緣,一日至七日,一心不亂誦持名號,臨命終時,阿彌陀佛與諸聖眾前來接引,往生阿彌陀佛極樂國土。
 圖中阿彌陀佛有紺青低平肉髻,著紅色袈裟,偏衫輕薄貼體。胸前有「卍」(反向)字符號,手掌心有法輪印。其左手拇指與無名指相捻,右手施與願印,雙足各踏一朵青蓮。觀音與大勢至合捧金蓮,觀音菩薩冠上飾化佛,大勢至菩薩冠上為寶瓶。
 畫面左下角繪一身形比例微小的僧人,在樹下合十而坐。僧人頂上的光束與阿彌陀佛白毫所發出的光束接合,接合處畫一童子立於金蓮旁,表現將至西方淨土蓮花化生。
