接引佛立像。明代(1368-1644),通高29厘米。接引佛为西方极乐世界的教主,阿弥陀佛。据《无量寿经》卷上载,过去久远劫世自在王佛住世时,有一国王发无上道心,舍王位出家,名为法藏比丘,于世自在王佛处修行,熟知诸佛之净土,历经五劫之思虑而发殊胜之四十八愿。
Then the Buddha statue was introduced. In the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644), the height was 29 cm. Then he introduced Buddha as the leader of the Western Paradise, Amitabha. According to the volume of the Infinite Life Sutra, when the king Buddha lived in the world for a long time, there was a king who had a supreme mind and left his throne to become a monk. He was named Fazan bhikkhu. He practiced in the world at the king Buddha's place, knew the pure land of all Buddhas, and after five disasters, he made 48 special wishes.
此后,不断积聚功德,而于距今十劫之前,愿行圆满,成阿弥陀佛,在离此十万亿佛土之西方,报得极乐净土。迄今仍在彼土说法,即净土门之教主,能接引念佛人往生西方净土,故又称接引佛。他的左胁侍「观音菩萨」和右胁侍「大势至菩萨」,三位被称为:西方三圣。接引佛手常持莲台,接引众生,身高丈六,法力无边。
Since then, he has been accumulating merits and virtues. Before the ten robberies, he is willing to complete his journey and become Amitabha Buddha. In the west of the 100 billion Buddhist land, he will be rewarded with blissful pure land. Up to now, it is still said that the leader of jingtumen is able to lead the Buddhists to the pure land in the west, so it is also called jieyinfo. His left flank attendants "Avalokitesvara" and his right flank attendants "great power to Bodhisattva". The three are known as the three saints in the West. The Buddha often holds the lotus platform and leads all living beings. He is six feet tall and has boundless power.
