Return of the Fifth Patriarch

Ink on paper

五祖再來圖 因陀羅

中國

據《石門洪覺範林間錄》記載,中國禪宗五祖弘忍,前生原是破頭山中的栽松道者,問法於四祖道信,四祖以年老而不許,遂投胎於水邊洗衣的周氏女。孩子出生後,周氏女以為不祥,將其投於河中,不料孩童竟溯流而上,且氣體鮮明,周氏女大驚,又將小孩抱回。小孩因無父親,鄉里人都稱其為「無姓兒」。一日,無姓兒路逢四祖道信。此幅表現的即是道信與無姓兒禪機問答的情景,圖右可見周氏女的形影。
 圖上方有贊語,曰:「室女忽生兒冤魔偶見欺/幾乎喪身命賴有老廬知/碧琅泉主法膺拜贊」。左下方有「人言洞裡……」之半印,屬因陀羅用印。因陀羅生卒年不詳,中國元(1271~1368)末僧侶畫家,此圖和他其餘的作品筆法一致,有稱是其畫跡中最佳者。
 此幅墨色絕美,人物畫用濕筆,五官以濃墨點出,衣紋用淡墨畫輪廓,但領襟、袖口、衣帶則用焦墨。樹木以渴筆皴擦描繪,小灌木用濃墨點苔夾立其間。因墨色濃淡對比,畫面顯得清新活潑,樸質中有明朗而秀緻的韻味。
