Dayun Temple: Stele on Nirvana
Stone
涅槃造像碑
原山西省運城市臨猗縣峨嵋山大雲寺
原位於山西省運城市臨猗縣峨嵋山大雲寺，並與大雲寺的建造歷史相關。唐載初元年（690），有沙門撰《大雲經》，並言則天武后（684～705在位）是彌勒佛降生，應作天子。武后藉此傳言，自立稱帝，改國號「周」，年號「天授」，並下詔全國頒《大雲經》，於各州郡修建大雲寺。碑像中央銘刻「大周大雲寺奉為聖神皇帝敬造涅槃變碑像一區」，以祝福武后。
此碑碑額雕有螭首，碑座為龜趺，碑額雕天宮和須彌山，碑身正面分刻六圖，內容為臨終遺誡、入涅槃、納棺、再生說法、送葬、荼毗等。碑陰上部雕八王分舍利和起塔，合為涅槃變八圖。兩側另刻有蓮花化生童子、天王及護法獅等。此碑像構圖繁複，情節刻劃緊湊生動，具珍貴的歷史與藝術價值。
