Chongshan Temple Great Compassion Hall: Three Great Bodhisattvas

Clay and wood

崇善寺三大士像

中國

位於山西省太原市崇善寺大悲殿。崇善寺是明代(1368~1644)敕建大型佛寺的典型代表,清同治三年(1864)焚毀,僅存大悲殿及部分附屬建築。大悲殿面闊七間,進深四間,殿內供奉千手千眼觀音、千鉢文殊及普賢菩薩等三大士像。
 三大士像皆高8.5公尺,面相豐圓,身軀壯碩,一反宋代(960~1279)纖細柔弱的風格,恢復唐代(618~907)作風。額頭寬廣,眉宇疏朗,凝眸下視。全身金色,瓔珞嚴身,形象端嚴妙好。
 觀音菩薩身前有六隻手臂,二手當胸合十,二手置於腹前,二手上舉似托物;其餘手臂於身側層層疊疊,狀若大形背光。菩薩頂有十一面,典出《千光眼觀自在菩薩祕密法經》載:「頂有十一面,當前三面為菩薩相,右邊三面白牙出上相,左邊三面忿怒相,當後一面暴笑相,頂上一面如來相。」
 文殊菩薩位於觀音左側,有六隻大手,身後是小手組成的圓形背光,每一手皆有一鉢,每一鉢各有一化佛。造像典出《大乘瑜伽金剛性海曼殊室利千臂千鉢大教王經》卷五:「菩薩身上現其大印手二百二十二,有千臂千手,手中各持吠琉璃鉢,鉢中各各有一化佛,千釋迦同時出現。」
 普賢菩薩位於觀音右側,背光圓輪呈放射狀,內飾一圈團花,外飾二圈火焰紋,如菩薩身放百寶光。造像典出《佛說一切諸如來心光明加持普賢菩薩延命金剛最勝陀羅尼經》:「於菩薩身放百寶光,光外盡白月輪,眾彩莊嚴。」
