Palcho Monastery Central Hall: Flying Practitioners
白居寺空中飛行圖
中國
位於白居寺（dpal 'khor chos sde）措欽大殿。十五世紀作品。漢傳佛教藝術中，常見飛天凌空飛翔，或持物供養，或奏樂飛舞。藏傳佛教中，凡修得飛行術者，皆得以在空中來去自如，據《密勒日巴傳》記載，密勒日巴便具此神通。
此畫為該殿佛本生故事的局部，描繪數身有飛行術之成就者飛翔的場面。其中或為束髮高髻之仙人，或作僧人裝束；其雙手或前伸，或二臂展開，雲遊飄逸。一旁樹木參天，顯示人物飛行之高度，雲散卷舒，體現飛行者之速度。
作品構圖豐富，成就者之間描繪各色雲朵，色彩繽紛，饒富裝飾趣味。
