Hohhot Five Pagoda Temple

慈燈寺金剛座舍利寶塔

內蒙古呼和浩特

又稱五塔、千佛塔。位於內蒙古自治區呼和浩特市舊城慈燈寺,為金剛座式五塔之精品。始建於清雍正五年(1727),為藏傳佛教慈燈寺供奉金剛界五部部主的舍利塔。寺已毀,僅存塔。因塔身上五佛造像總計一千六百六十三尊,故有千佛塔之稱。一九八八年列為中國「全國重點文物保護單位」。
 該塔為金剛寶座式,通高約16.5公尺,平面呈「凸」字形,由台明、塔基、金剛座及頂部五座方塔組成。台明磚砌。塔基為須彌座形式,束腰處雕法輪、金剛杵及金剛界五部主坐騎:獅、象、天馬、孔雀、金翅鳥。金剛座分作七層,層間施琉璃短檐,分層密布五佛造像。南面券門上嵌有漢、蒙、藏文「金剛座舍利寶塔」白石匾額。塔內兩側有石梯盤旋上登,出口處為一方形攢尖罩亭。
 頂部平台上正中及四隅各置一方塔,正中一塔較大,餘四塔較小,塔體遍布佛龕,內嵌五佛造像。整座塔以磚雕作為飾面,邊緣、轉角和券門鑲白石,並以綠琉璃挑檐,黃琉璃為剎,色彩鮮明。
 塔後北牆上鑲嵌三幅石刻圖,分別是須彌山分布圖、六道輪迴圖及天文圖,其中天文圖以蒙文題銘,為中國現存唯一以少數民族文字標注的石刻天文圖,彌足珍貴。
