Wat Chaiyathit Ordination Hall: Life of the Buddha (detail)

猜呀提寺佛傳圖

泰國

位於泰國吞武里府(Thon Buri)猜呀提寺(Wat Chaiyathit)戒堂內門壁。該殿壁畫繪於大城時期(Ayutthaya,1350~1767),拉瑪一世(Rama I,1782~1809在位)時期重繪,拉瑪三世(Rama III,1824~1851在位)時期修復。
 此段壁畫從左至右,分別描繪佛陀自忉利天返人間、涅槃和八王分舍利等三則佛傳情節。第一情節劃分成三個部分,上半描繪佛陀於忉利天宮說法,諸天合掌跪坐虔誠聆聽法音。下半右側為佛陀循著三道寶階徐徐而降,其左右兩側大梵天和帝釋天率領諸天護送,地面人間帝王與臣民恭候;下半左側繪地獄場景,表現佛陀自忉利天返人間時,圍觀者徹見天界和地獄等景象。
 第二情節的宮殿建築內外,可見眾佛弟子和王室貴族等人齊聚哀悼;左上一外道手中持蓮,立於一群比丘前;畫面右上諸天聽聞佛陀涅槃,持花前來供養。第三情節宮殿建築內描繪香姓婆羅門將佛舍利均分八份予八國,帝釋天從天而降,取走香姓婆羅門企圖藏起的一枚佛牙舍利。
 各情節採用不規則的鋸齒條紋分隔,間以樹木美化,鋸齒下的深紅色面突顯出宮殿建築的精緻輪廓。整體背景幽暗,部分細節施金點綴,在一片深色調的畫面中分外醒目。
