Life of the Buddha - Parinirvana

Ink and color on silk

涅槃圖

中國

中國南宋(1127~1279)畫作,繪製於十三世紀,表現佛陀涅槃的景象。現為日本重要文化財。
 圖中娑羅樹林下,佛陀右脇而臥,據《大般涅槃經後分》,佛陀「於七寶牀右脇而臥,頭枕北方,足指南方,面向西方,後背東方,其七寶牀微妙瓔珞以為莊嚴。娑羅樹林四雙八隻,西方一雙在如來前,東方一雙在如來後,北方一雙在佛之首,南方一雙在佛之足。」
 畫面中,佛陀身著大紅袈裟,頭枕蓮台,右脇臥於寶台上,神態安詳,如入禪定。上方彩雲繚繞,佛陀四周娑羅樹高聳入雲,舉哀弟子與護法天神神情、姿態各殊。畫面下端繪有大象、馬、牛、虎、豹、鹿、孔雀、鶴、雞、龜、駱駝等四十餘種動物,均面向佛陀,作俯臥狀,突顯眾生皆有佛性。
 全圖設色濃麗,製作精細,人物形象傳神。圖右上角有一行日本僧人墨書題記「阿州□●(山+鳥)小橋村新□常住貞和二年(1346)正月十七日」。
