阿爾奇寺大日如來曼荼羅圖

印度

位於阿爾奇寺(Alchi Gompa)三層堂(Sumtsek)第三層西壁。該層東西北三壁通壁繪曼荼羅圖,各以六臂般若佛母、大日如來及四面八臂文殊菩薩為主尊。
 此圖由內而外,分別為二重圓輪和二重方形宮牆。第一重圓輪內為八瓣蓮輪,主尊大日如來居於蓮花輪心,白色身相,肉髻高圓,戴三葉冠,冠繒及肘。披掛瓔珞,雙手結印,結跏趺坐,由兩隻背向蹲踞的雪獅承載。如來背光兩側,鳥頭獸身之神獸揚爪而立,上有摩竭魚,其長形身軀沿著主尊背光與頭光外緣上揚,二尾端為一獅形白獸伸爪握持,含於口中。輪心外蓮瓣層疊錯置,下方一白瓣內坐八臂般若佛母。
 第二重圓輪,有八尊菩薩分布於四方和四隅,身形迥然不同。圓輪邊緣以一圈金剛杵為界,外圍繞第一重宮牆,四隅各坐一身供養菩薩。第二重宮牆羅列十六尊菩薩,四方位入口處另有四菩薩守護,四名供養菩薩坐於角隅,共計二十四尊,形制似金剛界曼荼羅。
 此壇城設計與第二層東壁北側的金剛界曼荼羅圖相似,殿宇恢弘,宮殿閣樓形制雷同。庭園內傘蓋飄揚,間有神祇坐於小型圓輪中。宮殿外有金剛杵輪和火焰輪環護,其外境四隅各有一名四臂菩薩,呈白色身相,或向動物如獼猴等說法,或與藍色身相的忿怒神祇相對而立,畫面生動。全圖以藍色為地,使壇城中央之白瓣蓮輪更顯突出。
