普寧寺千手千眼觀音菩薩像

中國

位於河北省承德市避暑山莊普寧寺大乘閣。菩薩高22.28公尺,重110公噸,是中國境內現存最大的木雕彩漆觀音像。大乘閣通高37.4公尺,三層,面闊七間,進深五間,內部中央三層貫通,菩薩立於高1.2公尺的蓮台上。閣每層均設迴廊,可從不同高度瞻仰菩薩。
 菩薩頭戴寶冠,上有一尊阿彌陀佛坐像。觀音寬額端鼻,額中有一眼,相貌慈悲莊嚴。共四十二隻手,當胸二手合十,左右各有二十隻手,每一手心皆有一眼,四十隻手,共四十隻眼。每手分別持日輪、月輪、金剛杵、寶輪、寶瓶、法螺、錫杖、寶傘、寶弓、寶箭、戟和鉞等法器和兵器。四十二隻手臂皆為空心,以減少對中心壓力。整體比例勻稱,具高度藝術價值。
 千手千眼觀世音菩薩四十手的含義,據《千光眼觀自在菩薩祕密法經》,以四十手眼一一濟度二十五有,即具足千數。所謂「有」,指果報的「果」,由業因而有果報生,故果亦名為有。二十五有包括欲界的十四有,色界的七有,無色界的四有,通三界而有二十五種果報。
