托林寺護法神殿壁畫

中國

位於托林寺(mtho lding dgon)護法神殿。該殿中殘存護法神像與曼荼羅壁畫,是密宗造像的珍品,為十五世紀作品。
 護法神像或一面二臂,或三面六臂,面有三眼,多帶頭光及身光,飾寶冠,佩耳璫,以瓔珞或骷髏鬘莊嚴其身,帔帛繞臂飄揚,袒上身,腰繫短裙,肌膚勁健有力。其神態或疾首蹙頞,兩眼圓瞪,或神情和熙,面容俊逸。手中持物,各有不同,或足踏生靈,或跏趺而坐,姿態迥異。
 南壁曼荼羅圖呈外圓內方形制,壇城宮殿華麗,兩側繪諸多供養物。主尊現菩薩相,三面六臂,主要雙手擁抱其智慧伴侶,其餘各手分持不同法器。趺坐於蓮座上,帶圓形身光。主尊以金剛杵為界,獨立於一方形空間內,其外側尚有八尊身形近似主尊之人物,依次排列,構成第一重圓輪。自主尊延伸而出的四對角線方向,各有一尊像端坐圓輪之外。壇城之四門,各一尊坐像,護衛城門;另有二尊位於壇城東門入口兩側,極為罕見。曼荼羅緣飾蓮瓣、金剛杵及火焰紋,規整明麗,層次井然。
 護法神殿之壁畫,因年代久遠,色彩略顯斑駁,然仍可見其描繪細膩。曼荼羅為禪觀者行持之用,更增添其密教氛圍。
