Bingling Temple Cave 169: Thousand Buddhas

炳靈寺石窟第169窟千佛圖

甘肅永靖

位於東壁上部與窟頂相連的一角,洞口南側上方,編號為第24龕。岩面塗抹泥層後彩繪千佛圖,面積約18平方公尺,畫面由千佛和三組說法圖組成。
 千佛層層排列,共二十層,繪近千身小佛像。均結跏趺坐,施禪定印,色彩以紅、黑、灰、白和赭石為主。上部佛像形體較小,下方的較大,均繪有蓮座。千佛畫面正中及其左、右下方繪有三組說法圖。中間一組畫一佛二菩薩像,佛結說法印,著袒右袈裟,右披偏衫,結跏趺坐。左右二菩薩像,圓面大眼,戴花冠、臂釧、腕釧,袒上身,下著白裙,兩臂繞帔帛飄揚於身後,身體略呈「S」形站立,形象敦厚質樸。壁面左側說法圖,佛臉形長圓,眉眼、鼻梁染白色,結禪定印,菩薩著白色通肩大衣,身形健壯。第三組說法圖位於壁面的右下部,畫釋迦、多寶二佛並坐於塔形龕內,覆鉢形塔、剎頂和三相輪之樣式十分特殊。
 據壁畫下方比丘慧眇、道弘、道融等十六人共造千佛像墨書題記,應繪於十六國西秦建弘年間(420~427)。千佛圖在窟中共有四處,此處面積較大,位置高險,且布局較為規整,色彩明豔統一。
