Detailed Description
The image displays an open book or scroll, divided into two main sections. The left section is a dark blue rectangular panel with a gold border. Within this panel, several columns of vertical text are rendered in gold. The visible text reads: "妙法蓮華經安樂行品第十四" and "今時文殊師利法王子善薩摩訶薩白佛言". The right section is a large, detailed illustration predominantly in gold tones. At the center of this illustration, a large, seated figure with a prominent halo is depicted on a multi-tiered, petal-shaped seat, surrounded by a large, circular aura. Numerous smaller figures, mostly seated and also with halos, are arranged in rows around the central figure, some appearing to be on clouds or platforms. The background features stylized mountains and clouds, with some trees visible among the peaks. In the foreground, more figures are visible, some with patterned robes, seated or standing on a ground with a dotted pattern. The entire illustration is rendered in varying shades of gold, creating a sense of depth and texture. A thin, patterned border runs along the right edge of the illustration, where a small purple and white ribbon is tied.
