普勸坐禪儀 道元
日本
此卷為道元禪師歸國後所作。內容敘述坐禪的重要性，並略示結跏趺坐及調身方法。一九五二年指定為日本國寶。
該書字字獨立分離，點畫雖偶見映帶，但用筆勁直有力，通篇有端肅嚴整之氣。其書法固然是承襲黃庭堅而來，然從書作中透出的個人修持，正是此作最為迷人之處。
道元俗姓源，名希玄，法名佛法道元，號佛法房。日本鎌倉時代（1185～1333）曹洞宗開山祖師。貞應二年（1223）入宋學法，安貞元年（1227）返回日本，居止於京都一帶。後於越前創建永平寺，大揚曹洞宗風，提倡「只管打坐」之實踐法門，成為日本曹洞宗之開山祖師，著有《正法眼藏》等書。
參考釋文：普勸坐禪儀／入宋傳法沙門道元撰／原夫道本圓通爭假修證／宗乘自在何費功夫況乎／全體迥出塵埃孰信拂拭之／手段大都不離當處豈用／修行之腳頭然而毫釐有／差天地懸隔違順纔起紛然／失心須知歷劫輪迴還因擬議／之一念塵世迷道恍（復）由商量／之無休欲超向上之徹底唯／普勸坐禪儀／天福元年中元日／書于觀音導利院
