釋僧祐

江蘇 雕塑家 僧人

俗姓俞。生於四四五年,卒於五一八年。南朝齊(479~502)梁(502~557)律學高僧、雕塑家、佛教史學家。彭城下邳(今江蘇邳州市)人。幼入都城建康(今江蘇南京)建初寺禮拜,即不肯返家,父母遂許出家。受具足戒後,又隨從法穎深究戒律之學。齊永明年間(483~493),奉敕入吳,宣講《十誦律》,說受戒之法。所得之信施,皆資助定林寺和建初寺修繕,並造立經藏,搜校經典,開諸佛寺收藏佛教文獻之先。著有《出三藏記集》、《弘明集》、《釋迦譜》等典籍,門徒頗盛,僧俗達萬餘人。
 長期參與營建寺院和鑄造佛像的工作,梁武帝(502~549在位)時,專任像事。依《高僧傳》卷十一云:「祐為性巧思,能目准心計,及匠人依標,尺寸無爽。故光宅、攝山大像、剡縣石佛等,並請祐經始,准畫儀則。」說明僧祐通曉造像之規矩尺度。
 建康光宅寺造丈八銅像,四鑄不得,梁天監八年(509),請僧祐主持才得以竣工,今已不存;現存南京棲霞山石窟攝山大佛(今三聖殿無量壽佛及觀音勢至菩薩像)、剡縣石佛(今浙江新昌大佛寺彌勒佛坐像),是南朝(420~589)僅見的兩處石窟造像遺例,然經歷代重修,不易看出當時風貌。
