觀音菩薩是大慈悲的象征,水月觀音爲觀音菩薩三十三化身之一,是觀世音一心觀水相的應化身,其形象作觀水中之月狀,或說猶如水中之月。

此造像以“水”之元素立意,莊嚴靜美,左手施無畏印,右手拈花,發辮恍若飄于水中,容貌端莊如滿月,眉似月牙,神情刻畫細膩傳神,體態勻稱,著右肩固定式袈裟,衣紋線條疏密關系精致美妙,身後錦帛清逸飄飛。整體風格的質樸與細致;線條的簡練與繁複,造像的觀照與沈思,手勢的堅定無畏與慈悲施與,無處不得自然而微妙的平衡之美,整體造型充滿動人的力量,令人視之歡喜無量。

This sculpture by Jiangjiaban presents a solemn Bhaisajyaguru wearing a low-collar wide-belt kasaya on a square pedestal in full-lotus posture with his right hand grabbing some herb and the left holding a bowl for pestling medicine. The Buddha features an amiable countenance, natural expressions, slightly uplifted rahotsu (conch-like curls), and a stout body. He lives in a realm where the land is floored by crystal colored glaze and the towers and palaces are built by the seven treasures. The land is majestic and blissful, and the drapery and lines of the sculpture are endowed with order and grace. When you look at the sculpture, the solemnity and power within it is the source of your confidence.
