也叫初转法轮像,表现释迦牟尼45岁时在鹿野苑(Sarnath)正式传教的形象,佛经上称此次讲法为“初转法轮”。
The statue of Teaching Buddha signifies understanding, wisdom and fulfilling destiny. It also symbolizes the spinning of “Wheel of Dharma” (转法轮). Both the hands of Buddha are held at the chest level and the index fingers and thumb form a circle. The palm of the right hand is turned in whereas the palm of the left hand is turned out. This gesture (<color #ed1c24>Dharmachakra Mudra, 说法印</color>) represents setting the Wheel of the Dharma into motion. After the Buddha achieved enlightenment, he gave his first teaching to a companion in the Deer Park of Sarnath, and therefore it represents teaching.
螺发佛装,结跏趺坐,双手置于胸前结说法印。有的双手掌心向外置于胸前,翻举结说法印;或左手结禅定印托钵,右手结说法印。说法印以拇指微曲抵食指第一指节处,余指自然舒展。注: 有的释迦牟尼佛坐像, 右手施无畏印,左手握着衣角或结禅定印, 本站也归入说法像.
