釋懷仁

陝西西安 書法 僧人

生卒年不詳。唐代(618~907)僧、書法家。太宗(627~649在位)時駐錫長安(今陝西西安)弘福寺。擅文工書,多年學王羲之的字,深得意韻,是中國書法史上繼智永禪師之後,又一位傑出的佛門書法家。太宗親撰《大唐三藏聖教序》一文,命懷仁集摹王羲之之行書字跡而成,使其真跡咸萃其中。
 推崇王羲之書法的風氣,普及民間,但其墨跡皆被御府收藏,不得廣為鑒賞,因此懷仁費時二十餘年收集整理《集王字聖教序》,令其真跡普為流傳。集王字行書為碑,始自懷仁,開後代集王書之風氣。自此碑後,凡習王字行書者,靡不以此為楷模,如開元九年(721)大雅法師所集《興福寺碑》、太和六年(832)唐玄序集《金剛經》等,但以懷仁所集王字最佳。
 《廣藝舟雙楫》云:「唐僧懷仁所集右軍書,位置天然,草法秩理,可謂異才。」《集王字聖教序》在中國書法史上,有不可磨滅的歷史貢獻。
