法華經
中國
一九六六年浙江省瑞安市慧光塔出土。本件書寫內容為《妙法蓮華經》，現存三百八十六行，行十七字。卷中除了以恭楷書寫經文以表示敬慎外，還以金、銀泥書搭配，標誌出此經的貴重與特殊。經卷中的銀字滿鋪中，只有佛、菩薩名以金泥書之，經品名亦見金字，恰似莊嚴中佛菩薩諸般相好具現於目前。尾題「大宋明道二年（1033）季春月重益修記」。
此書結體寬而略扁，頗見有隸書的書寫布排，筆畫橫勢多見，不強調速度變化所產生的筆畫質感，又全以實筆表現，所以顯得拙厚而帶有裝飾感。這樣的美學表現，也常見於隸書名碑中，表現出莊重典麗的氣氛。
參考釋文：文殊師利 諸佛□□ 為供舍利 嚴飾塔廟／國界自然 殊特妙好 如天樹王 其華開敷／佛放一光 我及眾會 見此國界 種種□□／諸佛神力 智慧希有 放一淨光 照無□□／我等見此 得未曾有 佛子文殊 願決眾疑／四眾欣仰 瞻仁及我 世尊何故 放斯光明／佛子時答 決疑令□ 何所饒益 演斯光明／佛坐道場 所得□□ 為欲說此 為當授記／示諸佛土 眾寶嚴淨 及見諸佛 此非小緣／文殊當知 四眾龍神 瞻察仁者 為說何等／爾時文殊師利語彌勒菩薩摩訶薩及□□
