Taxila: Sakra’s Cave

Phyllite

帝釋窟說法圖

巴基斯坦西北邊境省塔克西拉遺址出土

巴基斯坦開伯爾巴圖克瓦省塔克西拉古城(Taxila, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa)出土。此犍陀羅地區相當流行的佛傳故事主題,事見《帝釋所問經》,刻劃釋迦牟尼佛於洞窟中趺坐冥思,帝釋天與樂神乾闥婆等天人從天而降,圍繞於四周,聆聽佛陀的教化。
 此浮雕構圖分上下兩層,以欄楯作為區隔。下層圓拱形的石窟中,佛陀結跏趺坐,作禪定印,窟外兩側為帝釋天和梵天合掌作禮。欄楯之上有四身飛天,前後相襯,動靜相生,左右對稱,自上而下,俯身散花,禮讚佛陀,花朵鋪灑到石窟的頂上,飛天姿態優雅且富動感。浮雕的最下部,窟外前方刻兩頭覓食的豬,憨態可掬,呈現巖洞周遭的自然生態,亦吻合佛教所倡導眾生皆有佛性之說。
 作品以窟內佛陀禪定坐像為主,該題材在早期佛教美術中廣泛使用,與犍陀羅地區說一切有部的禪觀思想流行有關。
