Yonghe Temple: Nagarjuna Bodhisattva

Color on cloth

龍樹菩薩像

中國

龍樹是約二至三世紀時的古印度佛教哲學家。南印度婆羅門種姓出身,初習小乘教規,後在雪山(喜馬拉雅山)一帶得大乘經典,系統地闡述並確立了大乘佛教中觀派的理論,被視為大乘佛教「中觀派」的奠基者。
 龍樹菩薩趺坐於蓮座上,身後有五蛇盤繞於頂,其右側有圓形水壺。蛇代表龍樹曾入龍宮取回大乘經典,淨水壺是印度修行者常用的器物。
 此唐卡具新勉唐繪畫風格的部分元素,例如龍樹菩薩頭光兩側蓮瓣與蓮葉寫實細緻,色彩豔麗而厚實,表現出該派典型的鉤金葉緣,細節描繪一絲不苟。
 勉唐畫派又譯門赤畫派,由明代(1368~1644)藏族畫家勉拉頓珠(sman bla don grub)所創,為西藏地區流行最廣、影響最大的畫派。十七世紀中葉出現新勉唐派,由藏巴曲英嘉措(gtsang pa chos dbyings rgya mtsho)倡導推動和改格,成為格魯派首肯的宮廷畫派。
