Shuanglin Temple Sakyamuni Hall: Avalokitesvara on a Lotus Petal (detail)
雙林寺一葉觀音菩薩像
中國
位於釋迦殿扇面牆後。觀音頭戴花冠，側身單腿盤坐於一葉蓮瓣上，雙手環抱左膝，微微抬頭，凝眸靜思，神態悠然自在，與滔天海浪的磅●（B）氣勢形成靜與動的對比。衣帶飄揚，又與波濤洶湧的海浪渾然一體。觀音四周有羅漢各踏獸座或蓮座，韋馱天將乘雲而來。壁面設計完整，海水為淺浮雕，觀音以圓雕手法塑造。
一葉觀音為觀音菩薩攝化眾生示現的三十三種妙相之一。據《佛像圖彙》，一葉觀音乘一葉蓮瓣，浮於水上，表三十三身中宰官身。另相傳日僧道元自中國歸返日本途中，遇暴風於南溟山，時道元於船上默禱，忽見菩薩乘一蓮葉浮於海上，風浪遂止。及登岸，師自刻其所睹觀音像，安奉於南溟觀音寺。
