Peshawar: Life of the Buddha - Miracle of Bright Light

大光明神變圖

巴基斯坦西北邊境省白夏瓦塔庫特伊巴希遺址出土

巴基斯坦開伯爾巴圖克瓦省白夏瓦(Peshawar, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa)塔庫特伊巴希古城(Takht-i-Bahi)出土。據《大方等如來藏經》載:「爾時世尊於旃檀重閣,正坐三昧而現神變,有千葉蓮花大如車輪,其數無量色香具足而未開敷,一切花內皆有化佛,上升虛空彌覆世界猶如寶帳,一一蓮花放無量光,一切蓮花同時舒榮。」此作即刻劃經典所述之景。
 佛陀結跏趺坐於蓮座上結禪定印,閉目冥思進入禪定三昧,頭頂上雕華蓋。此圖構圖特殊之處,在於兩側各有三尊化佛立於蓮台上及一位胡跪合掌的人物,採左右對稱放射狀排列,表現經文所述佛陀於禪定中,放射光芒並出現了許多蓮花與化佛的情景。下方胡跪的世俗人物,推測應是王宮朝臣,表現的可能是佛陀為折服外道,在舍衛城施顯神變的故事。
