Mogao Cave 17: Sutra of the Wise and the Foolish - Fascicle 2 (left end section)
Ink on hemp paper
賢愚經卷第二
中國
清光緒年間（1875～1908）甘肅省酒泉市敦煌市莫高窟第17窟出土。《賢愚經》主要是以本生故事和譬喻故事所編集而成的佛經，其故事情節生動，後來或據之衍為經變，施之壁畫，成為弘揚佛法門徑之一。
寫經書法面目大同而小異，品質亦有高下之分。此卷之書寫點畫豐厚而不板滯，是寫經上品。雖結字偶有不佳處，然其使鋒轉側之勁利自然，已開智永禪師《真草千字文》先聲。從書法藝術價值來衡量此作，其精善確略高於同類寫經書作。
參考釋文：戒定慧血除汝三毒諸欲飢渴安置涅槃安／樂之處阿難欲知爾時慈力王者今我身是／五夜叉者今憍陳如等五比丘是我世世誓／願許當先度是故我初說法聞便解脫時賢／者阿難及諸眾會聞佛所說咸增敬仰歡喜／奉行／賢愚經卷第二／燉煌太守鄧季彥妻／元法英供養為一切
