Swat: Prophecy of Dipamkara Buddha

Schist

燃燈佛授記圖

巴基斯坦西北邊境省斯瓦特出土

巴基斯坦開伯爾巴圖克瓦省斯瓦特(Swat, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa)出土。為犍陀羅流行的浮雕故事畫題材,敘述梵志儒童值遇燃燈佛遊化,買花供佛,佛乃為儒童授記。此即為釋迦牟尼佛過去世的儒童本生故事。
 圖中身形最大且帶有頭光者為燃燈佛。故事情節從畫面左邊開始,先是儒童向身後的女子買花後,一手握瓶,一手持蓮花準備供佛。圖中央面對佛陀舉花者,以及跪伏地下叩首到地者,即刻劃燃燈佛到達城裡,儒童將花拋撒向空中,並獻上身上僅有的鹿皮衣鋪地,更解開長髮布於泥地讓燃燈佛行走,誠心地奉獻所有來供養佛陀,並發願未來成道,此時燃燈佛即為其授記。佛陀的身後,跟隨著侍從、弟子。
 浮雕的左上方,儒童升起於空中,屈身俯首,雙手恭敬合十禮佛,作為此故事的終結。
