Feilai Peak Caves Niche 68: Budai and Eighteen Arhats

飛來峰石窟第68龕大肚彌勒像龕

浙江杭州

位於冷泉溪南岸懸崖上,是依岩石的自然形狀雕鑿而成的半圓形龕,寬9公尺,中間高3.3公尺,兩側高1.5公尺。龕內主尊為布袋和尚,面豐而圓,長耳垂肩,喜笑顏開。上衣敞開,袒胸露懷,左手持念珠,右手按布袋,踞坐岩石台上。主尊左右側各有羅漢九尊,著袈裟,姿態各異,形象生動。
 據說該像是依五代後梁(907~923)僧人契此而造。他常背布袋入市弘法,示人吉凶,必能應驗,於坐化前說偈:「彌勒真彌勒,分身千百億,時時示時人,時人自不識。」眾人以為是彌勒佛顯化,後來中國多數寺院皆有供奉。隨著信仰的轉移,彌勒菩薩從北魏(386~534)的交腳、半跏坐姿,至宋代(960~1279)成為化身遊戲人間的布袋和尚,此乃佛像漢化後的典型之例,從此「大肚彌勒像」在中國廣為流傳。
