半跏思惟菩萨像是广泛流行于犍陀罗、中国、朝鲜半岛和日本的菩萨造像样式,他的姿势是右腿搭在左腿上,右手支颐作思惟状。此种样式在佛教美术上最早可追溯到犍陀罗的佛教雕刻上。通常认为这是表现释迦成佛前,身为悉达太子时在苦思人生哲理乃至开悟的情形。 Half-bodhisattva Bodhisattva, like a Buddha-like statues widely prevalent in Gandhara, China, the Korean peninsula and Japan, poses as his right leg resting on his left leg with his right hand branch serving as a memento. This style in Buddhist art dates back to Gandhara’s Buddhist sculptures. It is often considered as a manifestation of Sakyamuni Buddha, as Sita Prince Edward in the hard-won philosophy of life and even enlightened situation.
