中国古代石雕佛像可以影响人的观念，石雕佛像的神奇力量就在于此。石雕佛像是供人们拜祭的大型佛像，因此建造古代石雕佛像需要用大理石的石材，经久不衰，不易风化，耐腐蚀，保存时间长等特点。
Ancient Chinese stone statues can influence people's ideas, which is the magic power of stone statues. Stone Buddha statue is a large-scale Buddha statue for people to worship. Therefore, the construction of ancient stone Buddha statue needs marble stone, which is durable, not easy to be weathered, corrosion-resistant, and long-term preservation.
佛教徒修佛法的方法之一叫做观佛，观佛不仅仅是看石雕佛像，还要沉思默想，通过观佛想象佛的崇高，就可以缩短与佛的距离，观佛有助于净化自己的心灵，人们在物质生活有保障之后，会转向更高的精神追求，促进中国文化艺术和宗教信仰的发展。
One of the ways for Buddhists to practice Buddhism is to observe the Buddha. To observe the Buddha is not only to look at stone statues, but also to meditate. By observing the Buddha and imagining the sublimity of the Buddha, we can shorten the distance with the Buddha. Observing the Buddha helps to purify our mind. After the material life is guaranteed, people will turn to a higher spiritual pursuit and promote the development of Chinese culture, art and religious belief.
