Heart Sutra
Ink on paper
心經 文徵明
中國
文徵明七十一歲時所書。凡三十行。其為奉佛虔誠的士大夫，晚年喜歡寫經，為時人所重。此經為《大般若經》的精髓，旨在闡明般若性空的要義。
此幅用筆清勁峻拔，行筆流暢，結體端莊秀潤，富於變化，雖然鋒穎稍露，但無跋扈之氣，為文徵明晚期佳作。
文徵明初名壁，字徵明，更字徵仲，號衡山居士。明代（1368～1644）書畫家。長州（今江蘇蘇州）人。文氏詩、文、書、畫皆精，人稱「四絕」。喜寫經，尤精小楷。自稱佛門弟子，好與禪門高僧交遊，書畫創作多有禪意。
參考釋文：般若波羅蜜多心經／觀自在菩薩行深般若波／羅多蜜時照見五蘊皆空／度一切苦厄舍利子色不□／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／集滅道無智亦無得亦無所／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／般若波羅蜜多心經／嘉靖二十年歲在辛丑／七月八日玉蘭堂書
