蓮花生像

中國

蓮花生大士,八世紀頃北印度烏仗那國(今巴基斯坦斯瓦特,Swat)人。唐玄宗天寶六年(747)入藏,傳瑜伽密法,為藏傳佛教最古老的教派寧瑪派祖師。
 此十八世紀西藏唐卡描繪傳說中蓮花生大士所居之國度,國度從龍王住的水池昇起,聳至天界,宮殿透明可見內部有數層紅銅色發亮的屋檐。畫面中央蓮花生大士結跏趺坐於台座上,其寶冠頂端有象徵無垢的孔雀翎毛,其下是代表成道的金剛杵與象徵完全證悟的太陽及月亮。右手舉於胸前持金剛杵,左手置於腹前托嘎巴拉碗,左肩倚卡章嘎杖。
 蓮花生兩側是其女眷曼達惹哇及耶喜措杰(ye shes mtsho rgyal),分別捧持寶瓶和嘎巴拉碗,面向大士蹲跪側侍;其下兩側各有四尊像,為蓮花生的化身。蓮花生被視為觀音菩薩的化身,而觀音是阿彌陀佛之脇侍,故其頂上呈現四臂觀音菩薩三尊像,最上方為阿彌陀佛坐像。
