達摩揚義塔寺釋迦多寶並坐像

緬甸

位於緬甸曼德勒省蒲甘(Bagan, Mandalay)城東達摩揚義塔寺(Dhammayangyi Temple),該像造於蒲甘王朝(約849~1287)。依《大乘妙法蓮華經》卷四〈見寶塔品〉所載,多寶佛為東方寶淨世界的教主,往昔行菩薩道時,立誓在成佛滅度之後,凡十方世界有宣說《法華經》之處,必自地踊現於前,以證明此經的真義。故釋迦牟尼佛說《法華經》時,有七寶塔從地中踊出,聳立於空中,塔內即有多寶佛坐獅子座,其全身姿態如入禪定狀,並分半座予釋迦牟尼佛。
 此釋迦、多寶二佛為磚造,外敷灰泥,結跏趺坐於同一須彌座上,手勢一致,皆左手置於腹前,右手作觸地印,姿態如經中所言如入禪定。佛髻頂呈蓮蕾形,受錫蘭(今斯里蘭卡)火焰形造像風格影響。面容寬闊,嘴角上揚。身披袈裟,偏袒右肩,衣緣摺疊於左肩前形成波浪形的紋路。佛頂至兩膝的距離,幾乎呈現正三角形,使佛像看起來端正雄偉。二佛身後背光頂端、兩者之間置七寶塔,造型一致,雕刻精細,更加突顯二尊像之莊嚴氣勢。
