Wat Rajasittharam Ordination Hall: Life of the Buddha - Enlightenment

拉察席他拉姆寺佛傳圖之成道

泰國

位於拉察席他拉姆寺(Wat Rajasittharam)戒堂內。表現佛陀成道時,天人雲集慶賀之景。此圖布局與一般描繪天人合掌並坐、向主尊佛陀禮拜祝賀的傳統成道圖相比,顯得構思獨特。
 釋迦牟尼佛六年苦行後,於菩提樹下完成佛道,為佛傳故事中常見的八相之一,略稱成道。佛陀成道之年歲有諸多說法,然成道之日,據經典所載有謂二月八日、四月八日、三月八日或十五日。至今佛教徒以米及穀類煮成粥,稱為臘八粥,紀念佛陀成道之日。
 畫面描繪三重橫向分布的山巒,佛陀居中趺坐於金剛座上,手施觸地印,著紅色袒右袈裟,形象樸素,其聖座、背光和頭光則相對布滿繁複紋飾。山巒間諸天成列朝向中央,僅現半身,均戴泰式尖錐形華冠,瓔珞嚴身。右側上排為梵天天眾,為首者大梵天手持蓮花供佛。左側上排為忉利天天眾,由全身碧綠之帝釋天帶領。餘眾或擎各式華美傘蓋,或高舉各式旗旛,旗子隨風飄揚,增添畫面動感。
 圖中佛陀的體型與其他人物等比,但居於中央成為畫面焦點,身後主峰黝黑,更烘托出其莊嚴形象。山巒色調以深淺層次形成遠近距離感,天空施以深紅色,使背景圖像輪廓顯得分外鮮明。畫面色彩飽和,人物描繪細膩,首飾和華蓋描金,表現富麗。
