In the painting, the main body abandons the Buddha and gives the vow seal in the right hand, holding the bowl in the left hand, and sitting on the cross. The Bodhisattva Abandoned is the second Buddha of the past seven Buddhas, which means the topknot, the head of fire, and the top, and becomes the right consciousness under the Fentuli (i.e., the white lotus). The two flanking attendants of the Buddha are Apifu and the three mothers-in-law, each famous for its wisdom and magic. The monk holding the scriptures below is the deacon disciple, who is patient, and the mendicant monk is Buddha Wuliang. In the left and right corners are the Buddha’s parents Mingxiang and Guangyao, and the Chadi Li caste
At the top of the Thangka, there is a four-body script of the Han, Manchu, Mongolian and Tibetan characters in gold, and the Buddhist scriptures abandoned. The Chinese text says, “The origin of all good deeds is illusory, and the creation of all evil deeds is illusory. The body is like the wind gathering foam, and the illusion is rootless and has no reality.” The picture includes two frames, the outer frame is painted with two dragons playing with beads on the top and the bottom, and the two sides are the patterns of ascending dragons and chasing treasures. The four-body script of the Han, Manchu, Mongolian and Tibetan characters in the four corners of the column belongs to the style of “Emperor Qianlong Dingyou”. The inner frame is painted with seven treasures on the top and the bottom
There is a white silk label on the back of the Thangka, which is inscribed in the four-body script of the Han, Manchu, Mongolian and Tibetan languages on the ink, and records the matter of the stone carving. The Chinese text is: “On the first day of May, the Emperor ordered to take the seven axes of the Fanxiang Buddha tribute by the Panchen Erdeni, determine the order and the family members of the seven Buddhas, and translate the Buddhist verses into the four-body script. The upper part of the four-body script is copied by the stone, which is widely circulated, and will win the victory forever.” This painting is expanded to the ground, and the negative line is filled with gold, It is one of the biographical rubbings of the carved stone sculptures on the seven pagodas in the North Sea.
