Mandalay Hill: Shweyattaw Buddha - Buddha and Ananda

曼德勒山室維耶多佛立像

緬甸

位於緬甸曼德勒省曼德勒山(Mandalay Hill, Mandalay)。室維耶多佛(Shweyattaw Buddha),意為站立的佛。相傳釋迦牟尼佛於說法期間曾路過曼德勒山,其手指山下,預言二千四百年後此地將成為皇家聖地。一八五七年貢榜王朝(Konbaung,1752~1885)敏敦王(Mindon,1853~1878在位)遷都至曼德勒,實現佛陀的預言,廣為興建寺院,並於曼德勒山山頂造此像。其罕見的手勢,有別於歷來佛像,右手抬起,遙指前方,目光凝視,意指向未來的皇宮;左手向外張,持袈裟衣緣。
 此立像身形高大,法相莊嚴,神情肅穆。通體敷金光亮,雕工精美,身著寬大袈裟,襞褶疏朗有致,衣角摺疊自左肩垂下;下襬起伏作波浪狀,體現出衣著的厚重感。佛右前方跪地合掌者為隨侍的阿難尊者。
