地点简介
当您从本寺 其中一角的楼梯爬上的顶楼,你将抵达供奉四方佛之一的小亭。在这里你将看到一座高大的万佛塔,塔的正中位置安放着一个巨大的毗卢遮那转经纶。顶楼其他供奉四方佛的亭子也一目了然。那里的露天兰花园栽种了包括佛牙石斛兰、其他兰花品种和本地的热带植物。
佛牙寺的五方佛
At the center of the Ten Thosand Buddhas Pagoda is the huge Vairocana Prayer Wheel, specially produced by cloisonné enamel so as to give it a bright, colourful, intricate and glossy look. It has 3 layers of Vairocana Mantras within bright borders. The Wheel sits on a granite cladded base. Every complete turn of the wheel will result in a ring of the wheel bell.
顶楼正中建有一座宝塔,四角各有一座亭子,内供奉五方耆那(胜者)、五智如来或五方如来。他们分别是:
- 中心的毗卢遮那佛(大日如来)
- 东方的阿閦佛(不动明王)
- 南方的宝生佛
- 西方的阿弥陀佛(或无量寿佛)
- 北方的不空成就佛
诸佛的五种智慧功德乃法界体性智、大圆镜智、平等性智、妙观察智和成所作智。
