塔爾寺三昧耶曼荼羅圖
中國
位於塔爾寺（sku 'bum）密宗學院天花板上。該寺密宗學院成立於清順治六年（1649），是研究密宗教義的學經部門，為藏式平頂建築，天花板繪曼荼羅圖。
曼荼羅可分四種：繪佛、菩薩的曼荼羅；繪寶幢、金剛、蓮花、武器等象徵物的三昧耶曼荼羅；經文咒語組合而成的法（種子）曼荼羅；以及繪佛、菩薩一生行誼的羯磨曼荼羅。
此三昧耶曼荼羅圖內圓外方，中央井字圓內、圓外樓閣及四入口處，皆安置象徵諸佛菩薩的八葉圓圖案。四方樓閣之金剛杵頂、兩側對鹿及寶穗華蓋等，鉅細靡遺；樓閣外的金剛地滿布傘蓋、幢幡、寶瓶等物。曼荼羅最外圍依次緣飾蓮花輪、金剛杵輪和火焰輪。整體色彩鮮麗，圖案對稱，細緻描繪出密教曼荼羅和寶物，為極具特色的藝術表現。
