Embroidery of Womb Realm Mandala

Silk

刺繡胎藏界曼荼羅圖

中國

清代(1644~1911)十八世紀刺繡作品,為一群蒙古貴族供養山西五台山某皇家寺院之物。胎藏界曼荼羅即是從大日如來之大悲胎藏平等心地中,所生出之大曼荼羅。
 絲製曼荼羅外圓內方,中央圓形即中台八葉院,為此曼荼羅的樞紐。大日如來居中端坐,象徵太陽或宇宙中心;外有八蓮瓣,內各有一尊佛或菩薩。曼荼羅的宮殿入口呈「T」形,兩道宮牆內分飾供養天女和瓔珞。
 外重宮牆四入口處各有一半月形,內繡藏式平頂樓閣,門口垂飾瓔珞,屋頂有雙鹿及法輪。樓閣兩旁有供養天女和傘蓋、寶瓶、幢幡等吉祥物。外有三層護輪,由外而內依序為充滿業火的火焰輪、代表慈悲力量的金剛杵輪、以及純潔無染的蓮瓣輪,此意味著瑜伽行者的前行路徑。最外圍以各色彩線繡出卷草紋。
