開化寺報恩經變相之惡友品

中國

位於大雄寶殿西壁北部。故事據《大方便佛報恩經》卷四〈惡友品〉繪製。描繪善友太子一日出城,見農夫耕作、紡織者織作及屠夫賣肉等辛苦情景,心生哀憫,回宮後恣意布施,然為了不造成國庫空虛,欲入海求取摩尼寶珠。國王及王后不允,太子因而絕食,不得已,國王只好應允,其弟惡友隨行。入海後不久善友獲得寶珠,惡友心生惡念,刺傷善友雙目,奪寶而去。善友後遇牛王、牧牛人救護,並在鄰國國王及公主的幫助下返國,重獲寶珠。善友遂以寶珠神力雨七寶,讓一切眾生所需樂具,皆悉充足。
 圖中為善友觀織、屠酤、入海求珠及神牛醫眼等情景。其中觀織圖描繪太子觀看民間婦女織布的情景,畫中可見一女子在昏暗的油燈下扶杼織布。屠酤圖表現太子觀看屠夫賣肉,畫面上所見為當時城鎮中常見的生活景象。入海求珠圖繪一艘北宋(960~1127)時的入海沙船,船工們熟練地操舟,船上帆、篙、●(舟+魯)、舵齊備;畫面左上方侍從鳴鼓行舟,太子與不捨的雙親告別。神牛醫眼描繪善友遭惡友刺目後,得牛王救護的景象,草地上牛群悠然走動,善友閉目席地而坐,一牛以舌舔目,一牛犢在旁觀看,生動有趣。
 該寺壁畫畫匠郭發等人不僅畫技熟練,又因來自民間,熟悉世俗生活,擅以現實景象描繪佛教故事,畫中如牧牛、紡織、屠酤及航海等,均體現當時社會生活的生動場景。設色以石綠、石青、硃砂、赭石和鉛粉為主,兼用地板黃,氣韻和諧。
