祖师塔位于五台山佛光寺内东大殿南侧。是北魏孝文帝时创建佛光寺的初祖禅师塔。塔身古朴,用青砖砌筑,高约8米。平面六角形,两层,第一层中空,正西面开门,门上有火焰形券拱,塔檐用砖迭涩垒砌。上层各角砌有束莲式倚柱,正面饰以火焰式券拱假门,侧面雕破棂窗,顶部置有覆钵、莲瓣及宝珠。无论外观形制、局部装饰和细部手法,均属北魏遗构,这是佛光寺创建时期保留至今的唯一实物。

On the upper corners, there are beam-like leaning pillars. The front is decorated with flame-styled vault arches, and the side is carved with broken sashes.
