Certificate of Attainment (detail)
Ink on silk
圓爾印可狀 無準師範
日本
此卷為無準禪師書與日僧圓爾來中國參學、受其傳法證明的印可狀。誠如卷末言：「圓爾上人傚善財，遊歷百城參尋知識，決明己躬大事，……故書此以示之」。一九五二年指定為日本國寶。
此卷書寫速度較快，故多見乾筆。字與字間較少牽連映帶，行間又較開闊，故雖用筆迅捷而鋒芒盡出，章法上並無相互干擾之弊。就整體書寫品質來看，並非一流的書法作品；但是，其因用筆自然而結字方闊的特色，正展現淋漓寬厚的氣勢。
無準禪師為中國南宋（1127～1279）臨濟高僧，門下名僧輩出，如日僧圓爾、受邀渡日弘法的無學祖元等，對日本禪宗有極大的影響。
參考釋文：道無南北弘之在人果能弘道則一切／處總是受用處不動本際而歷／遍南方不涉外求而普參知／識如是則非特此國彼國不／隔絲毫至於及盡無邊香／水海那邊更那邊猶指諸／掌耳此吾心之常分非假於／它術如是信得及見得徹／則逾海越漠陟嶺登山初／不惡矣圓爾上人傚善財／遊歷百城參尋知識決明
