Borobudur: Life of the Buddha - Great Departure (detail)

婆羅浮屠佛傳圖

印尼

位於印尼中爪哇省馬格朗市(Magelang, Central Java)婆羅浮屠(Borobudur)佛塔第一層迴廊內壁上段。一九○一年,學者辨識出該位置的一百二十幅浮雕乃刻劃《普曜經》中的佛傳故事。故事圖從東面階梯口開始,依右繞方式排列,情節包括乘象入胎、摩耶夫人赴藍毗尼園、宮廷生活、夜半踰城、剃髮出家、樹下思惟、降魔成道及初轉法輪等。
 乘象入胎圖中,雍容華貴的摩耶夫人右脇而臥,左側有五名宮女服侍,下方另有多名侍從席地而坐,人物服飾、姿態和神情各異。夜半踰城畫面表現悉達多太子騎著愛馬犍陟出城,下有四名天神手捧蓮台承托馬蹄,以防蹄踏聲驚醒宮中沉睡的人,周圍有多名天神護衛。初轉法輪則描述於鹿野苑修苦行的五比丘,認為佛陀放棄苦行耽於世樂,因而雖見佛陀行至,但不予理睬。凡此種種敘事手法寫實自然,構圖飽滿,裝飾圖案如樹木等配置別具巧思,不僅反映出當時的人物造型和風景樣貌,更突顯精湛的雕刻藝術,呈現獨特的風采。
