香林掃塔圖題記 金農
中國
清代（1644～1911）金農於自身畫作上的題記，一九九六年刊刻於臺灣高雄佛光山寺百人碑牆。畫中一人背對觀者，作灑掃狀。題記則陳述佛門以灑掃為日常生活的修行，即真正的舍利，不在塔中，而在勤勞作務中。
此卷書體如楷似隸，結體以長扁為主。又橫畫起筆，每重按而右送，以筆勢相同來統一、貫串整體書風，節奏單純而質樸可愛，此種書寫手法正是金農取法高古之美學取向的展現。
金農為清代書畫家、詩人。揚州八怪中學識修養最廣博者。書法、詩詞皆精；創造富金石味之獨到書風，自稱「漆書」。
參考釋文：佛門以灑掃為第一執事自沙彌至老禿無不／早起勤作也香林有塔掃而洗洗而又掃舍利放／大光明不在塔中而在手中矣／蘇伐羅吉蘇伐羅記
