然堆祖拉康大日如來坐像
中國
又稱芒康邦達大日如來坐像。位於西藏自治區芒康縣邦達鄉然堆村祖拉康殿（朗巴朗增拉康殿、大日如來殿）。傳為唐貞觀年間（627～649）文成公主入藏時雕成，為吐蕃時期（7～9世紀）作品。殿內現存九尊造像，以此尊大日如來為中央主尊，主尊兩側各有四尊菩薩像，合為八大菩薩。菩薩均作遊戲坐姿。
主尊大日如來像高423公分，梳筒狀高髮髻，戴三葉寶冠，外層五葉冠為一九八五年補綴。寬額長耳，細眉大眼，鼻挺唇閉，下頦凸出。著翻領左衽胡服衣袍，雙手結定印，趺坐於大瓣仰蓮座上。蓮座高170公分，其底部的須彌座可見忍冬紋飾。須彌座下有立獅，正面蹲坐。獅子頭部略扁，張大口，具藏地佛教早期獅子造像的特徵。
