Standing crowned Buddha

The historical Buddha stands before us, fully enlightened, yet he wears the jewels and crown of his earlier princely life. Similarly paradoxical is the figure’s seeming androgyny. This is an image of the awakened state itself, unbounded by dualities. It is, at once, the Buddha and all buddhas.

As you stand before this figure, recall that your mind has the capacity to encompass object and subject simultaneously. The image is both the object of our contemplation and, if seen from the right perspective, a likeness of its beholder’s buddha-nature as well.

宝冠立佛

面前的这尊立佛呈现的是一位已然觉悟的佛陀，却佩戴着早年身为太子时的宝冠与璎珞。与此相映成趣的是，造像呈现出一种超然的中性气质。这恰是觉悟境界本身的写照——超越一切二元对立。他既是释迦牟尼，亦是一切诸佛的化身。

当您伫立于这尊造像之前时，请观想：您的心识本具同时含容能观与所观的潜力。此像既是我们观照的对象，若以正见观之，亦是我们每个观者本具佛性的映现。
