丹霞燒佛圖 因陀羅

中國

為因陀羅所作禪機圖斷簡中的一幅,描繪天然禪師天寒燒木佛像禦寒的故事,屬祖會圖。據《五燈會元》卷五,鄧州丹霞天然禪師,曾到慧林寺,因天寒,遂燒殿中木佛取暖,院主見狀呵責道:「為何燒我木佛?」丹霞禪師以杖撥灰說:「我燒取舍利。」院主說:「木佛哪有舍利?」丹霞說:「既無舍利,再取兩尊來燒。」圖中楚石梵琦贊:「古寺天寒度一宵不禁風冷雪飄飄既/無舍利何奇特且取堂中木佛燒」。另有印章一枚,文曰:「兒童不識天邊雪把乍楊華一例看」。此圖為中國元代(1271~1368)作品,一九五三年指定為日本國寶。
 圖中繪兩位僧人,一蹲,一立,蹲者乃丹霞禪師正在燒佛像,立者一手持長杖,一手指向丹霞禪師,有責問之意,丹霞笑呵呵,表情傳神。畫中樹石以渴筆皴擦,人物則用濕筆;五官以濃墨點出,衣紋輪廓用淡墨勾描,而領襟、袖口及長杖則用濃墨。禪者啟發學人,機鋒險峻,然此畫將禪者的機鋒不落痕跡地展現在丹霞回首的剎那間。
