普贤菩萨
梵文 Samantabhadra。
音译:三曼多跋陀罗,或译普贤,遍吉。
象征佛陀理德,行德的菩萨与文殊菩萨之智德,证德相对。为佛陀释迦牟尼的右胁侍。和佛陀,文殊菩萨合称华严三圣。其塑像多骑六牙白象,代表佛法的大悲力。

普贤,又作遍吉菩薩,为我国佛教四大菩萨之一,與文殊菩萨同为释迦如来之胁士。即文殊驾狮子侍如来之左侧,普贤乘六牙白象侍右侧。文殊师利显智、慧、证;普贤显理、定、行,共诠本尊如来理智、定慧、行证之完备圆满。文殊、普贤共为一切菩萨之上首,常助成宣扬如来之化导摄益。以此菩薩之身相及功德遍一切处,纯一妙善,故称普贤。

普贤菩萨具十种广大之行愿,即:礼敬诸佛、称赞如来、广修供养、忏悔业障、随喜功德、请转法轮、请佛住世,常随佛学、恒顺众生、普皆回向。此十大愿为一切菩萨行愿之标帜,故亦称普贤之愿海。因菩萨之广大行愿,一般称为大行普贤菩萨。

三昧耶形为莲上剑形。形像依会之不同而有别,微细会左手握拳安腰,右手执利剑;供养会以二手执莲花举於胸前,莲花上有利剑。胎藏界曼荼罗中,列於中台八叶院之东南隅,身呈白肉色,戴五佛宝冠,左手以拇指、食指执莲花,莲上有火焰围绕之利剑;右手臂伸开仰掌,屈无名指、小指。

我国四川峨嵋山夙为普贤菩萨之道场,传为晋代蒲翁所开创,於圣寿万年寺安置普贤之像,宋太宗敕造二丈金铜像,并建大阁以安置,尔后崇信甚盛。

With its elaborate rhetoric and symbolic descriptions, the sutra depicts the interdependence and interconnectedness of all phenomena within a vast cosmic network.

The Avatamsaka Sutra describes boundless Buddha realms and countless bodhisattvas, illustrating how practitioners can cultivate wisdom and compassion to gradually attain enlightenment and ultimately Buddhahood. The sutra elucidates the wisdom and compassion inherent in Buddhist teachings and emphasizes the interconnectedness and universal nature of all sentient beings.

The Avatamsaka Sutra focuses on illustrating universal truths and employing dialectical reasoning, providing practitioners with a comprehensive worldview and guidance for their spiritual practice. It emphasizes the importance of mindfulness and right view, advocating for the cultivation of great compassion, wisdom, and the attainment of non-discriminatory awakened states.

The Avatamsaka Sutra is considered one of the most significant scriptures in Buddhism. Due to its profound and intricate nature, studying and interpreting its opaque and intricate text often requires in-depth exploration and analysis to gain deeper understanding.
