Feilaifeng飞来峰 [Peak that Flew in (from India)],located in the Hangzhou area in Zhejiang (southeast China),is a cave temple complex including more than 300 Buddhist images from the Five Dynasties period (907-960),Song (960-1279),and Yuan (1271-1368) dynasties.This site is notable for these high-quality sculptures,informative dated inscriptions,and patronage by a variety of people,including high-ranking religious and secular officials.The site is also distinguished by its mix of Han and Tibetan sculptural styles created under the rule of Mongols.In other words,the site contains the largest group of Tibetan style stone carved sculptures from Yuan dynasty,with over one hundred remain.The author conducts a comprehensive research to identify the images from the Tibetan-style pantheon at Feilaifeng in a hierarchical order from Buddhas to Buddha-Mothers,Bodhisattvas,and guardians,by discussing the iconography and religious function of most Tibetan-style images at Feilaifeng with reference to textual sources,and draw comparisons with earlier and later examples,including some from Nepal and Tibet.
