佛光山寺淨土洞窟羅漢像

中國

位於臺灣高雄市大樹區佛光山寺淨土洞窟。淨土洞窟是一九八一年佛光山開山宗長星雲大師,為達到建設人間淨土、淨化社會人心之理想,而創建的一座具有文化教育價值的建築物。
 洞窟東部塑佛陀於祇園精舍為弟子宣說《阿彌陀經》之盛況,中央主尊佛陀結跏趺坐說法,佛前長廊兩側羅列諸大菩薩和千二百五十位大阿羅漢像。《阿彌陀經》云:「佛在舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園,與大比丘僧千二百五十人俱,皆是大阿羅漢,眾所知識。長老舍利弗、摩訶目犍連、摩訶迦葉……如是等諸大弟子,并諸菩薩摩訶薩文殊師利法王子、阿逸多菩薩……,及釋提桓因等無量諸天大眾俱。」
 諸大阿羅漢中十六尊分列兩側,或坐或立,坐者高約176公分,立者高約259公分。羅漢身著袒右或通肩袈裟,姿態各異,或凝神打坐,或雙手合掌,形象惟妙惟肖,十分傳神。十六身羅漢身後的丘陵分布其餘身形較小的羅漢,高約88~125公分,或三五成群,或兩兩論辯,或一人獨坐。
 此中藉十六羅漢如智慧第一的舍利弗尊者,或甚愚鈍但勤奮的周利槃陀伽尊者,寓意淨土法門三根普被,不分老少智愚,皆可修持念佛法門。
