金剛經 萬壽祺
中國
萬壽祺四十六歲時所書。由卷末題識可知，此卷為其書寫之第十部《金剛般若波羅蜜經》，更見事佛之誠敬。此經為般若系的大乘經典，其旨闡述一切法空無我的道理，而顯中道實相義。
萬壽祺書學顏真卿，故書字無緊峭寒儉之弊。此卷復摻揉虞世南筆致，故規整中更有疏淡之感，是寫經之佳作。
萬壽祺字介石，號年少，入清（1644～1911）更名壽，字內景，號沙門慧壽，又號明志道人，世稱萬道人。明代（1368～1644）舉人，明亡後，著儒衣僧帽往來吳楚間，明經通禪，亦精於篆刻。
參考釋文：金剛般若波羅蜜經／姚秦三藏法師鳩摩羅什譯／如是我聞一時佛在舍衛國祇樹給孤獨園與大／比丘眾千二百五十人俱爾時世尊食時著衣持／鉢入舍衛大城乞食于其城中次第乞已還至本／處飯食訖收衣鉢洗足已敷座而坐時長老須菩／提在大眾中即從座起偏袒右肩右膝著地合掌／恭敬而白佛言希有世尊如來善護念諸菩薩善／付囑諸菩薩世尊善男子善女人發阿耨多羅三／藐三菩提心云何應住云何降伏其心佛言善哉／善哉須菩提如汝所說如來善護念諸菩薩善付／囑諸菩薩汝今諦聽當為汝說善男子善女人發／阿耨多羅三藐三菩提心應如是住如是降伏其／心唯然世尊願樂欲聞佛告須菩提諸菩薩摩訶
