Wutai Foguang Temple Northern Qi Dynasty or Sui Dynasty Zushi Pagoda 五台佛光寺北齐或隋代祖师塔

            The Zushi Pagoda (祖师塔), is a small funerary pagoda located to the south of the Great East Hall. While it is unclear as to the exact date of its construction, it was either built during the Northern Wei dynasty (386–534) or Northern Qi dynasty (550–577) and possibly contains the tomb of the founder of the Foguang Temple. It is a white, hexagonal shaped 6 metres (20 ft) tall pagoda. The first storey of the pagoda has a hexagonal chamber, while the second storey is purely decorative. The pagoda is decorated with lotus petals and the steeple supports a precious bottle in the shape of a flower. 

东大殿南侧有六角形砖塔一座，名祖师塔（为创建佛光寺初祖禅师而建的墓塔），梁思成在《图像中国建筑史》认为是北齐或隋建，现代也有观点认为是唐代后建。塔外墙原绘有土朱色的额枋、人字拱等构件图案。后逐渐随表面脱落，近代修缮时全部用白灰涂刷。塔基为六层逐层收分，其上砌须弥座。塔身部分分两层。塔身下层为六角形龛室，西面开门，门洞上饰火焰形券面，其余五面为素墙。龛室内部为空心，内置六角小室拥有安放塑像。塔身上层为实心，西面砌假券洞式门。门两侧两面各砌假窗，其余三面为素墙。上层转角处用束莲倚柱装饰。塔身上下层檐各用三层砖砌仰莲叠涩挑出。塔刹部分以二重仰莲为基座，其上安仰莲一层，上置六瓣覆钵、莲瓣和宝瓶，最顶端冠以宝珠。
