此件是明朝中後期阿彌陀佛說法圖,此幅壁畫使用藏畫法,也叫喇嘛水陸道場畫法。顏料是用標準明朝中後期的天然礦物彩料,呈色依然鮮豔,但有明顯年代久遠風化現象。畫工繁複細緻,與法海寺內壁畫之畫工如出一轍,菩薩和護法的神態姿勢、衣著紋飾,以及背景捲雲畫法,整體畫風、畫法和布局方式相同。
This piece is a depiction of Amitabha Buddha delivering a sermon from the mid-Ming Dynasty. The mural employs the "hidden painting" technique, also known as the "lama water-land dojo" painting method. The pigments employed are standard natural mineral pigments from the mid-Ming Dynasty. The colors remain vivid, though they exhibit noticeable signs of age and weathering. The intricate detailing of the artwork is reminiscent of the paintings within the Fahai Temple. The postures, attire, adornments, and the swirling cloud painting method of the Bodhisattvas and Guardian Deities are strikingly similar in style, technique, and composition.
此幅畫主體的阿彌陀佛位於左側中央,阿彌陀佛眼瞼低垂呈思考狀,頭部比例較大,身形沉穩端正,上半身面積較大,著有披肩式的紅色僧衣,衣著蔽體不露,在寬大袖口自手肘才大幅散開,胸口交領低而寬,露出裙頭的結飾,衣著邊緣有華麗的花式圖樣環繞,有標準明朝中後期捲葉紋,衣著紋飾是描金團花紋,阿彌陀佛右手向上、掌心朝前施無畏印,左手置於膝上、向上,拇指和中指、無名指相捻結說法印,雙腿盤坐於粉色蓮座上,蓮座安於岩石上。 
The central figure of this painting is Amitabha Buddha, located in the middle-left. The eyes of Amitabha Buddha are cast downwards in contemplation, and their head is proportionally large. His stance is dignified and composed, with the upper body emphasized. He wears a red monastic robe draped over one shoulder. The robe conceals the body, with large, open sleeves extending from the elbows and a wide, low V-neck exposing a decorative skirt. The edges of the robe are adorned with intricate patterns, including the standard mid-Ming Dynasty rolling leaf patterns. The robe's patterns are outlined in gold. Amitabha Buddha's right hand forms the Abhaya Mudra (Fearlessness Gesture) with the palm facing forward, while the left hand rests on the lap with the palm facing upwards. The thumb, index, and middle fingers touch to form the Dharmachakra Mudra (Wheel Turning Gesture). He seated in a meditative posture on a pink lotus throne, situated on a rock.
阿彌陀佛頭頂有寶傘蓋,左右有雙手合十的護法神脅侍,阿彌陀佛前方有雙手合十的鬼子母,及其侍女,阿彌陀佛、護法及鬼子母衣著皆華麗細緻,和法海寺內壁畫之畫風、畫工一致,應是明朝中後期宮廷畫家所繪製。
Above Amitabha Buddha, there is a canopy umbrella, and on both sides are Guardian Deities with hands clasped in prayer. In front of Amitabha Buddha is a demoness with clasped hands, accompanied by her attendant. The attires of Amitabha Buddha, Guardian Deities, and the demoness are all intricately detailed and adorned. The style and craftsmanship of this mural align with the paintings within the Fahai Temple and are indicative of the work of court painters during the mid-Ming Dynasty.
