Buddha Shakyamunis Eintritt ins vollkommene Nirvana (Nehan-zu)

Production 15./ 16. Jh.

Das Bild zeigt den leiblichen Tod des Buddhas, der ihn in das vollkommene Nirwana (Nehan-zu) führt. Shakyamuni liegt umringt von Trauernden aller Existenzstufen. Selbst die Natur reagiert mit welken Blättern und schäumenden Wellen auf seinen Tod. Das Bild aber soll dem Gläubigen eine hoffnungsfrohe Botschaft vermitteln, indem es die buddhistische Erlösung symbolisiert.
