天后宮供桌上 有尊「伽藍爺」


  天后宮內供桌上那尊身著藍袍的配祀神祇,是何神明?根據廟方的執事人員解說,這尊神像是「伽藍爺」,耆老們認為祂在這兒的地位是「師爺」,由於祂的塑像構造比較像現代櫥窗裡的「模特兒」,關節的部份可以活動拆解,坊間稱這種神像叫「軟身佛仔」,在這裡他們稱這尊神像為「軟身師爺」。

  在《鯤島探源》第四冊,有一段有關「伽藍爺」的敘述:「伽藍爺」是什麼人物呢?據考證,「伽藍爺」就是「關帝爺」,「關帝」在佛教體系中,叫做「伽藍爺」。我們以前常可見到的是,在大陸的一些大廟的廟門口,見到武人關帝站著,主要是保護這座廟宇,因此,關帝在大廟中,只是守衛而已,在佛教體系地位並不是很高。

  《神佛正傳與祭拜須知.冬之卷》佛教裡的伽藍神:「依『護伽藍爺神七佛經』記載,伽藍並非專指一神,而有十八種之多,…而被視為忠義典範的關公,則可以說是一位『中國籍』的護法神。」「…因關公為一武藝超群的名將,佛教以他為伽藍,守護佛門大法,稱為伽藍護法,台灣民間也崇尚此說。」

  由以上兩則敘述,「伽藍爺」應是「關帝爺」無誤,問題是,關帝爺從一個中國將軍轉而為印度佛教的護法,再回來當中國道教神祇媽祖的護法,再改文職當師爺,這當中的轉折頗耐人尋味。
