| 摘要 | The dual role of the elephant-headed deity Ganesh in the Buddhist art of South Asia is examined. In Buddhist art of the subcontinent，Ganesh is worshipped as both the remover and creator of obstacles. This role is very clear in the art of Nepal，where Buddhism and Shaivism have coexisted for a long time. However，in India, an evil spirit--or obstacle incarnate--has often been represented as an elephant-headed figure，leading many modern scholars to characterize the Buddhists as sectarian. The depiction of elephant-headed figures below the feet of Buddhist deities can be identified as representing personified Vighna or obstacles rather than Ganesh. There may occasionally have been a conflation of the two personalities, as some of the elephant-headed figures display the attributes of Ganesh, but it is doubtful that the intent was to demonstrate sectarian hostility. |
