Altar with Mandala

Wood

木彩繪曼荼羅供桌

中國

西藏密教儀式用木製供桌。桌面繪平面曼荼羅,為金剛亥母法源。金剛亥母為藏傳佛教本尊神,亦為勝樂金剛之智慧伴侶。
 法源由中央兩個正反三角形疊合成六角形,紅色代表大樂,白色邊界代表勝樂金剛的菩提心和空性。法源實為立體,內部呈圓形,有如修行者的智慧起源,安置於如母體般的修行環境,斷除煩惱,成就佛道。小三角形內有四個喜旋,順時針旋轉,代表四喜。桌面以深藍、綠色為底,上飾輪寶及主兵臣寶圖紋,象徵轉輪聖王的七政寶。
 曼荼羅最外圍是五彩火焰輪及金剛杵輪,阻擋惡魔侵入壇城;內環為描繪八大屍林景物的八大寒林圖,內有各種腐食動物、男女瑜伽士、蛇及佛塔等圖像,每一環象徵成就無上菩提道路。桌立面分兩層,上層四面繪十六位女神像,舞姿生動曼妙。底層繪八吉祥。
