石頭和尚草庵歌 釋溥光
中國
元代（1271～1368）僧溥光書石頭希遷禪師所撰《草庵歌》。凡四十二行，計二百一十六字。石頭和尚為唐代（618～907）禪僧，曾禮六祖惠能、青原行思為師，得青原行思印可。此文內容記載石頭和尚住草庵的恬淡生活，喻修行不在外相的好壞，應向心中探源。溥光墨跡傳世不多，其草書尤為罕見。卷末款署「玄悟老人書」，當為晚年所書。
該書用筆圓轉渾厚，古拙樸茂，得唐代孫過庭草書筆法，而自成一家。整體氣勢連綿如行雲流水，線條蒼勁，筆墨濃重，揮灑自如，卻不失法度，可謂匠心獨運。
溥光，一說普光，俗姓李，字玄暉，號雪庵。生卒年不詳。元代書畫家。大同（今山西大同）人。能詩，工書畫。學兼內外，通貫百家。
參考釋文：吾結草庵無／寶上飯了從／空圖睡快成／時初見茅草
