If one considers sattva (sentient beings) as specifically referring to human beings, then the space where they are located is traditionally limited to the human realm, in Jambudvipa, a part of the sahā world. Through investigating the pictorial representations of Amitabha Buddha’s Pure Land, the images of patrons making offerings, and the pictorial representations of Maitreya Buddha’s Pure Land in Mogao Grottoes of Dunhuang, we aim to describe how this space perception worked in the form of representation in the Chinese Buddhist Paintings in the Tang Dynasty.
