Prophecy of Dipamkara Buddha

Schist

燃燈佛授記圖

巴基斯坦

此犍陀羅浮雕屬塔形嵌板,因殘斷,上層佚失,僅存中層和下層,其間以莨苕葉紋分隔,鋸齒形的三角紋作邊飾。下層畫面中央為燃燈佛,其右側三人,皆表現儒童。先是儒童立姿,面對燃燈佛,一手提瓶,另一手舉花供佛;然後跪伏於地面,對燃燈佛頂禮,以頭髮鋪泥地供佛踩踏,佛側身轉向儒童,為其授記;此時儒童身體漂浮於空中,身現光芒,在圓光中向佛跪拜。儒童身後,是將鮮花供給儒童的女子,右手握花束,左手抱水壺,即是悉達多太子妃耶輸陀羅之前生。燃燈佛身後跟隨著持金剛杵、白拂的執金剛神和穿袈裟的弟子,其上方露台上三位天人觀看、讚歎。整個畫面採一圖多景式的手法,構圖簡單,主題明確。
 中層方形龕室內雕二佛並坐,均著通肩大衣,結跏趺坐於束腰蓮座上,結禪定印。方龕外兩側各有一屈膝禮拜供養者。此並坐二佛,可能是燃燈佛和釋迦牟尼佛,為印度佛教造像的早期形態,後來中國在法華信仰流行之下,則出現了釋迦、多寶二佛並坐。
