華嚴寺下寺薄伽教藏殿造像

中國

位於山西省大同市華嚴寺下寺薄伽教藏殿。薄伽教藏殿坐西朝東,面闊五間,殿內中央設倒「凹」形佛壇,造像群題材為三世佛、菩薩、天王、弟子、脇侍、供養菩薩等二十九尊,均為遼代(907~1125)原塑;殿內另置明(1368~1644)清(1644~1911)時期補塑造像。
 壇上分為三組造像群,主尊分別為代表過去、現在、未來的三世佛,即北次間的燃燈佛、當心間的釋迦牟尼佛和南次間的彌勒佛,三佛像皆高538公分。
 當心間主尊釋迦牟尼佛,兩側侍立迦葉和阿難二弟子,二弟子前分別有文殊、普賢菩薩相對而坐,二菩薩前又各立一脇侍菩薩,身略側傾。
 北次間主尊燃燈佛,兩側及右前方立二弟子、三尊脇侍菩薩,佛蓮座前有二身形體較小的供養菩薩像;觀音菩薩戴高寶冠,面朝南,坐於燃燈佛造像群之北側前方。
 南次間主尊彌勒佛,兩側及左前方有五位脇侍菩薩侍立,佛座前有二供養菩薩;地藏菩薩現在家菩薩像,戴高寶冠,飾瓔珞,朝北,結跏趺坐於彌勒佛造像群之南側前方。
 佛壇四隅四天王持劍而立,其配置與日本唐招提寺金堂、東大寺法華堂等形制相同。
 燃燈佛與彌勒佛座前各有一尊後代補塑坐佛。三世佛皆結跏趺坐於多重仰蓮座上,蓮辦上皆繪飾不同紋樣。菩薩或立或坐,帔帛飄動,衣紋稠疊繁複,轉折流暢,有的虔誠合十,有的凝眸下視,神情姿態各異。
 整鋪造像面容豐潤端麗,衣紋勁簡,色彩沉著,具唐代(618~907)晚期風格,亦顯現北方遊牧民族挺健的氣質。群像的組合布局突破傳統組像排列儀軌,在空間有限的佛壇上,利用造像相互間的呼應及不同姿態,使群像組合緊密但不重疊,統一又有變化。
