燃灯佛(Nagaraja Buddha)全称“龙种上尊王佛”,是佛教礼仪活动中称颂的三十五佛之一,是文殊菩萨过去世示现的法身佛形象。佛经记载,文殊的现身为菩萨,辅助释尊教化大众,但实际上他在过去、现在、未来三世都是果位上的如来,过去世称“龙钟上尊如来”、现在世称“欢喜摩尼宝精佛”、未来世称“普见佛”。
Dipamkara is the Buddha of the age prior to the time and cosmic age of Shakyamuni Buddha. According to the Pali Canon, he was the Buddha that predicted the future enlightenment of the bodhisattva that was to become Shakyamuni - the historical Buddha. Dipamkara is popularly worshiped in Nepal but rarely found in other parts of the Himalayas, Tibet, or surrounding regions. In Tibetan art Dipamkara is almost always depicted along with Shakyamuni Buddha and the bodhisattva Maitreya - depicted as a Buddha. These three collectively are known as the Buddhas of the Three Times and often arranged in a three painting set.
燃灯佛的典型形象为: 头饰螺绿,肉髻高隆,面容庄严肃穆。身披袈裟,袒露右肩。结跏跌端坐于束腰莲台上,双手置胸前结说法印。身后有7条花蛇相互盘绕,蛇头于佛像头顶伸向前方。
