摘要 | The writer discusses two murals in the Dukhang or Congregation Hall in the village of Alchi in Ladakh, India. Located at the very back of the hall,these murals comprise rows of 500 small Buddhas on each of the two walls and a comparatively narrow band of paintings divided into nine panels. Most of the murals in the Dukhang are obviously embedded in an Esoteric Buddhist context,but this decoration on the back wall differs significantly in theme,reflecting an earlier stage of Mahayana Buddhism in which the cult of Akshobhya and his Eastern paradise,Abhirati,played a significant role. Belief in Akshobhya, one of the Tathagatas or "transcendent" Buddhas, appears to have been an important part of Buddhist worship in northern India as late as the post-Gupta period (after the 6th century) and the Pala period (ca. 750-1150). The murals themselves are highly original and deserve to be seen as independent inventions; the artist has used a vocabulary of elements seen in other murals at Alchi,uniting them in compositions that follow the written text as closely as possible. |
