心經 蘇軾
中國
經文共二十一行，卷後刻附跋文，可知是宋代（960～1279）大書家蘇軾為其子所書寫，拓本現藏於中國國家博物館。唐代（618～907）玄奘大師所譯之《般若波羅蜜多心經》，為後代書法家經常書寫的內容。其或應他人所求而書，或是為敬奉佛事而書，幾乎成為佛教書跡中最為常見的內容。此卷則為蘇軾為其子求冥福而書。
蘇軾書法素有端莊雜流麗、剛健含婀娜的美稱，亦即在楷書端莊的字型中，以重壓又富彈性的豐潤線條，展現出遒勁又妍媚的效果，使端莊與剛健，不會流於枯槁與野俗。此部《心經》也很能代表蘇軾書風的樣貌，比之可靠的傳世書跡，大概與《赤壁賦》同調，只是《赤壁賦》結字更緊，變化也更多。或許這是《心經》刻石時過於注重整飭所導致的誤差。
參考釋文：摩訶般若波羅蜜多心經／觀自在菩薩行深般若波羅蜜多時／照見五蘊皆空度一切苦厄舍利子色／不異空空不異色色即是空空即是色／受想行識亦復如是舍利子是諸法／空相不生不滅不垢不淨不增不減是／故空中無色無受想行識無眼耳鼻／舌身意無色聲香味觸法無眼界乃／至無意識界無無明亦無無明盡乃／至無老死亦無老死盡無苦集滅道／無智亦無得以無所得故菩提薩埵／依般若波羅蜜多故心無罣礙無罣／礙故無有恐怖遠離顛倒夢想究／竟涅槃三世諸佛依般若波羅蜜多／故得阿耨多羅三藐三菩提故知般／若波羅蜜多是大神咒是大明咒是／無上咒是無等等咒能除一切苦真／實不虛故說般若波羅蜜多咒即／說咒曰／揭諦揭諦 波羅揭諦／波羅僧揭諦 菩提薩婆訶／元豐八年九月二十七日朝奉郎新差知登／州軍州兼管內勸農事騎都尉借緋眉／山蘇軾為亡男幹兒寫
