契丹人的巫术信仰、自然崇拜、佛教、儒教和道教一直并存,辽代中后期佛教最为盛行。塔是辽代社会崇佛的重要载体,与辽代的佛教文化有着密切的关系。塔在辽代社会文化生活中既是精神的依托,也是社会生产力发展水平的体现。由于佛教对契丹社会的影响巨大,因此塔具有佛教文化的载体功能。辽塔常常体现各种佛教教义;同时也有体现世尊一代之八处灵迹的八大灵塔;一些辽塔塔身体现五方佛;一些辽塔塔身雕刻法华经;辽塔还体现了佛教的宗派之别。可见辽塔是佛学文化的体现,与佛教有着密不可分的渊源。 Khitan people's witchcraft belief, nature worship, Buddhism, Confucianism and Taoism have coexist, the most popular in the late Liao Dynasty Buddhism.
