金剛經 柳公權
中國
柳公權四十七歲時所書。強演、邵建和刻。每行十一字，原石毀於宋代（960～1279）。原拓孤本藏於甘肅敦煌藏經洞內。《金剛經》，全稱《金剛般若波羅蜜經》，藉由佛陀與弟子須菩提的問答，闡述一切法空無我的道理。
柳公權為唐代（618～907）著名的書碑能手，尤擅楷書，以法度森嚴著稱。初學王羲之，後廣納各家之長，獨創一格；其中受顏真卿的影響最大，是繼顏氏之後的楷書代表人物，與顏真卿並名，世有「顏筋柳骨」之稱。該書結構勻稱，中宮緊密，用筆遒健，方圓並用，嚴謹中有變化，不愧是唐楷的佳品。
參考釋文1：金剛般若波羅蜜經／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／乞食於其城中次第乞已還／至本處飯食訖收衣鉢洗足
參考釋文2：善男子善女人發菩提心者／持於此經乃至四句偈等受／持讀誦為人演說其福勝彼／云何為人演說不取於相如／如不動何以故／一切有為法 如夢幻泡影／如霧亦如電 應作如是觀／佛說是經已長老須菩提及／諸比丘比丘尼優婆塞優婆／夷一切世間天人阿修羅聞／佛所說皆大歡喜信受奉行／金剛般若波羅蜜經／長慶四年四月六日翰林 侍書／學士朝議郎行右補闕上輕車／都尉賜緋魚袋柳公權為右街／僧錄準公書／強演邵建和刻
