樹下觀耕像

巴基斯坦西北邊境省白夏瓦薩利巴路爾佛寺遺址出土

一九一二年巴基斯坦開伯爾巴圖克瓦省白夏瓦(Peshawar, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa)薩利巴路爾(Sahri Bahlol)佛寺遺址出土。此造像表現太子起意出家求道的因緣。據《普曜經》卷三〈坐樹下觀犁品〉,悉達多太子與淨飯王同至農村,見到農夫犁田翻出的蟲子即被鳥兒啄食的景象,遂對弱肉強食的現實世界與生命無常深深悲歎,想到「入山成道,乃度十方三界起滅危厄之患」,於是獨自坐在閻浮樹下思惟,進入一心禪思三昧正定,而樹的枝葉也彎曲過來,為其遮擋烈日,常保陰涼。此一瑞相令淨飯王及臣子們都攝受於太子的威德,情不自禁地向太子跪拜。
 此像即刻劃悉達多太子於閻浮樹下思惟入定的景象。太子結跏趺坐於鋪著吉祥草的座上,兩手結禪定印,頂上垂覆著茂密的枝葉。帶頭光,頂戴敷巾冠飾,身佩項圈、瓔珞、臂釧和腕釧,呈古印度貴族的裝扮。台座正面中央有火爐,左側有農夫馭二牛犁田,右側是國王和大臣們向太子禮拜的情景,跪地合掌者當為淨飯王。
