Embroidery of the Eight Medicine Buddhas

Silk

堆繡八藥師佛坐像

中國

堆繡唐卡以八藥師佛為題材。據《藥師琉璃光七佛本願功德經》記載,藥師七佛即善稱名吉祥王如來、寶月智嚴光音自在王如來、金色寶光妙行成就如來、無憂最勝吉祥如來、法海雷音如來、法海慧遊戲神通如來、藥師琉璃光如來。藏傳佛教將此七佛加上釋迦牟尼佛,稱為「八藥師佛」。
 中央主尊通身青色,著袒右袈裟,右覆偏衫,結跏趺坐於彩色蓮瓣環繞的卡墊上。左手置於腹前持藥鉢,右手下垂作與願印,並拈藥草訶子。帶頭光與身光,外緣均飾寶珠火焰紋。其他七尊藥師佛,分別位於畫面上下方,形式與主尊相同,但印相、身色各異。其中下方中間坐像,左手托鉢,右手作觸地印,應為釋迦牟尼佛。
 此唐卡採堆繡之剪堆法製作,將不同的綢緞剪成人物及圖案形狀,然後拼接縫合在背景為一色的大布幔上。
