Abhayagiri Vihara: Seated Buddha

Limestone

無畏山寺佛坐像

斯里蘭卡

位於斯里蘭卡中北省阿努拉德普勒(Anuradhapura, North Central Province)無畏山寺(Abhayagiri Vihara)內東側,為該國最古老的佛像之一,並被公認為最著名的佛陀禪定像,當地稱之三摩地佛。三摩地意為三昧,即入深度禪定。一九四○年,印度前總理尼赫魯(Jawaharlal Nehru)因協助甘地進行「不合作運動」,而遭英軍囚禁時,因有此佛像照片的陪伴,得以平靜度過牢中歲月。
 此像螺髮,無肉髻,雙耳垂肩。斂目凝神,面容安詳。通身無裝飾,只有兩條表現袈裟的衣褶斜刻於胸前。雙手結禪定印,半跏趺坐於台座上。從正面看,此像的結構形式為等邊三角形,相疊的兩腿為底邊,左右膝蓋、雙肩至頭頂呈一延長線,兩線交集於頭頂上部,呈現均衡安定的比例。佛像凝神冥想的表情,傳達內在的專注力,使人沉思靜慮,流露出古典雕像的魅力。
