Huizhao Temple Great Hero Hall: Maitreya Buddha

Bronze

慧照寺彌勒像

中國

位於陝西省渭南市臨渭區慧照寺大雄寶殿(銅佛殿)。大雄寶殿面闊五間,供奉明代(1368~1644)大銅佛五尊,各尊高約2公尺。中央當心間主尊供奉釋迦牟尼佛,東次間是藥師佛,東梢間置彌勒菩薩;西次間為阿彌陀佛,西梢間是觀世音菩薩。五尊佛菩薩像均坐於三重蓮瓣之蓮座上。釋迦牟尼佛、藥師佛、阿彌陀佛的蓮座瓣上均有浮雕小化佛。該寺之銅佛造像,屬文物瑰寶珍品。
 此彌勒菩薩依五代後梁(907~923)布袋和尚契此的造型而作。契此傳為彌勒之應化身,其形象和言行,見於《景德傳燈錄》、《五燈會元》、《明州定應大師布袋和尚傳》等佛教文獻。
 菩薩造型體態渾圓,笑容可掬,大耳垂肩,神情悠閑自得。袒胸圓腹,袈裟衣紋線條簡潔、流暢。右手持珠置於膝上,左手捏握布袋,坐姿自在灑脫。蓮座上的蓮瓣碩大豐厚,添增整體視覺的飽滿。
