Gawdawpalin Temple: Seated Buddha

伽陀帕陵塔寺

緬甸曼德勒蒲甘

譯名為Gawdawpalin Temple。位於緬甸曼德勒省蒲甘(Bagan, Mandalay),瀕臨伊洛瓦底江(Ayeyarwady River),為蒲甘最大的寺院之一。傳說那羅波帝悉都王(Narapatisithu,1173~1210在位)因誇耀自己的功勳超越祖先,招致天譴而瞎眼,後虔誠地禮拜蒲甘四十四位先王的金像,並建立此寺以贖罪,雙眼遂重見光明。此寺直至那羅波帝悉都崩逝仍未修畢,其子狄羅明洛王(Htilominlo,1210~1234在位)繼遺願始完成。一九七五年地震曾受損,現已修復。
 該寺具蒲甘王朝(Bagan,約849〜1287)晚期雙層方形塔結構,在建築上與修雷瑪尼塔寺(Sulamani Temple)、狄羅明洛塔寺(Htilominlo Temple)一脈相承,四面皆有柱廊,向東的入口前殿延伸較長,直到供奉主佛的佛殿,皆飾以螺狀的火焰紋,周邊的迴廊則有成排的金佛像。主塔通高55公尺,基座上聳立雙層塔身,每層塔身上有三層平台,向上逐層收分,飾有華麗的雉堞、矮牆和護塔。底層塔身有一拱頂迴廊圍繞主塔,四周皆供有佛像;厚重的壁間有狹窄的樓梯,可通往供有坐佛的上層塔身。最上為飾滿珠寶、纖細挺拔的塔剎。
