Tang Dynasty, Yulin Cave 25, North Wall. This scene illustrates Maitreya’s descent and the three Dharma assemblies, emphasizing architectural details. The central assembly features a gem-canopied lectern supported by a two-tiered structure with a rotating pedestal. In the surrounding assemblies, incense altars and palatial buildings are framed by heavenly pavilions and divine treasures. The architecture reflects the idealized order of Maitreya’s Pure Land.
