維巴拉沙拿大師系列 << 十一 >> The Art of Wipalasara ___________________
畫名 : << 忍辱仙人本生經 >> Title : << Ksantivadi Jataka >>
畫作說明: 在過往生中, 佛陀曾作仙人, 坐於叢林中, 向國王的妃嬪眷屬説法. 國王看見妃嬪圍繞, 諦聽仙人説法, 國王向仙人問 : 「你是誰? 」. 仙人回答 : 「我是忍辱仙人」. 國王説 : 「那麼, 我要看看你忍辱本領!」. 隨即砍去了仙人兩手臂. 仙人説 : 「我的忍辱, 在我心中, 不在臂中」. 於是國王怒而用力踐躝仙人的心臟. 最後仙人死去了, 升上天堂, 國王則到了地獄去.
Description of the Art: In a previous life, the Buddha was born a saint. He was seated in a grove, and preached to the harem of the King. The King saw them seated around the Saint, listening to him very attentively. The King asked him, “Who are you?” The Saint replied, “I am Ksantivadi Saint”. The King in return said, “you will demonstrate your tolerance to me”. Then, the King severed the limbs of the Saint. The Saint said, “My tolerance is in my heart but not in my limbs”. The King trampled the heart of the Saint with much strength. The Saint died and went to Heaven, and the King to Hell.
