位於甘肅省張掖市甘州區大佛寺大佛殿,殿門南北兩側牆壁。共二幅,每幅面積均4.6平方公尺,分別由五十塊青磚拼接而成。
 北側的一方,上下分別題寫「入三摩地」、「祇園演法」,兩側對聯「佛日增輝萬善同歸登彼岸;法輪常轉十方瞻仰證菩提」。畫面正中為釋迦牟尼佛說法,兩旁有二脇侍菩薩,其後方為聽法眾。四周有七寶環繞的裝飾帶。
 南側一方,上下分別題寫「登極樂天」、「西方聖境」,外側對聯「寶殿巍峨,無量人天咸敬仰;金身顯煥,河沙凡聖共皈依」。畫面正中為西方極樂淨土變,主尊阿彌陀佛結跏趺坐於疊澀須彌座上說法,帶圓形頭光與身光。兩側脇侍觀音與大勢至菩薩亦結跏趺坐。主尊下方有一香爐,二童子向香爐躬身禮拜。眾多菩薩、世俗人物或跪或立環繞西方三聖。畫面四周亦有七寶環繞的裝飾帶。
 此作品採用高浮雕與平雕、線刻相結合的手法,細膩而生動地展現了佛的慈悲、菩薩的秀美、聽法大眾的虔誠,以及佛國世界華美、祥和的景象。
