Dongda Temple Pagodas: Sutra on the Names of the Buddhas - Fascicle 25 (detail)
佛名經卷第二十五
中國
一九五六年浙江省溫州市龍泉區東大寺東西二塔出土。此作內容為《佛名經》，後段為懺悔文。《佛名經》部分有大量諸佛尊名，首字皆以重墨書為大字，尊名上鈐押佛像，樣式相當特別。
此作因書寫經典名稱與諸佛尊名，所以重複字甚多，加上書寫者以雷同的字勢書寫這些重複字，遂使整體有一種統調的秩序感。細察其書寫，強烈的抬右肩與寬鬆的結字，似乎指向書寫者並非一流書家，甚至有些習氣，但其筆畫並不輕率，結字拙而不散，這種規矩的自我控制，讓作品散發著虔敬的書寫氣氛。

參考釋文：生噉血肉受此醜陋罪報如是／鬼神道中無量無邊一切罪／報今日稽顙向十方佛大地菩／薩求哀懺悔悉令消滅／願弟子等承是懺悔畜生等／報所生功德生生世世滅愚癡／垢自識業緣智惠明照斷惡道／身願以懺悔餓鬼等報所生／功德生生世世永離慳貪飢／餓之苦常食甘露解脫之味／願以懺悔鬼神修羅等報所／生功德生生世世質直無諂離／邪命因除醜陋果福利人天願／弟子等從今以去乃至道場／決定不受四惡道報唯除大／悲為眾生故以誓願力處之／無猒／佛說佛名經卷第二十五
