Anguo Temple: Akasagarbha Bodhisattva

Marble

虛空藏菩薩像

陝西省西安市安國寺遺址出土

一九五九年陝西省西安市安國寺遺址出土。菩薩頭部上揚微側,髮結高髻,冠飾前綴一方形寶飾,佩戴耳璫,神態莊重沉靜。瓔珞長垂,腰繫衣巾,帔帛環繞雙臂,自然垂至蓮座下方,兩臂衣袖向外翻卷,為菩薩造像少見裝飾。右手上舉,手腕已缺損,持物不明;左手屈肘持一蓮花,蓮花上承一經篋,結跏趺坐於束腰蓮座,上身挺直,身姿優雅。蓮座下部採高浮雕的卷雲紋,並以繁縟華麗石榴花紋等作陪襯,精雕細琢。造像整體莊嚴華貴,屬盛唐(712~756)造像中之珍品。
 據《秘藏記》,胎藏界之虛空藏造像為左手持蓮花,上有如意寶,右手持白拂。而不空譯《金剛頂經曼殊室利菩薩五字心陀羅尼品》卷一說明,文殊師利菩薩右手持金剛寶劍,左手持摩訶般若梵篋,故有學者認為,該像應為文殊菩薩,而非一般所說虛空藏菩薩。
