Life of the Buddha - Return from Trayastrimsa Heaven
Color on cloth
佛陀自忉利天返人間圖 薩阿德
泰國
此布畫為泰國畫家薩阿德（Saat）繪製，以明快的色彩表現釋迦牟尼佛至忉利天為母說法，後返人間之景。圖上方描繪佛趺坐於金閣中說法，忉利天眾並坐於金閣前，合掌恭敬聞法。
圖中間表現佛自忉利天履階而下，兩旁各有三列天人簇擁。佛頭光呈火焰形，頂上有多層華蓋，足踏蓮台，足下的天梯以不同顏色表現，源於佛經記載三道天梯分別以黃金、琉璃及白銀而成。
圖下方繪建築物及多名合掌人物，另畫一佛於其中，可能代表佛陀至忉利天時，憍賞彌國的優填王因思念佛陀，而令群臣以紫檀木造佛陀像。
