高峰和尚行狀 趙孟頫
中國
此行狀由洪喬祖撰文，趙孟頫書。凡二百三十八行。高峰禪師為宋（960～1279）末元（1271～1368）初的重要禪僧，乃臨濟宗傳人，曾提出參禪三要，即大信根、大憤志和大疑情。中峰明本為高峰禪師之嗣法弟子，而趙孟頫師事中峰明本，所以趙氏書此行狀更見恭謹。
趙孟頫為元代書畫家、文學家、詩人。博學多才，書畫成就尤高。書學二王（王羲之、王獻之），用功備至，下筆使轉便法度井然，架構又方正精謹。此卷寫來更見精神抖擻，字字分立穩重，是趙書品質之佳者。蓋趙孟頫事中峰明本甚恭，故對其師行狀之書寫，有此認真精彩之展現。
參考釋文：高峰和尚行狀／師諱原妙號高峰吳江人俗／姓徐母周氏夢僧乘舟投宿／而孕宋嘉熙戊戌三月廿三日／申時生纔離襁褓喜趺坐遇／僧入門輒愛戀欲從之遊十五／歲懇請父母出家投嘉禾密／印寺法住為師十六薙髮十七／受具十八習天台教二十更衣入淨／慈立三年死限學禪一日父兄／尋訪巍然不顧廿二請益斷／橋倫令參生從何來死從何／去話於是脅不至席口體俱／忘或如廁惟中單而出或發／函忘扃鐍而去時同參僧顯慨／然曰吾己事弗克辦曷若輔／之有成朝夕護持唯謹時雪／巖欽寓北澗塔欣然懷香／往扣之方問訊即打出閉卻／門一再往始得親近令看無／字自此參扣無虛日欽忽問阿／誰與你拖箇死屍來聲未絕／即打如是者不知其幾師扣／愈虔值欽赴處之南明師即／上雙徑參堂半月偶夢中／忽憶斷橋室中所舉萬法／歸一一歸何處話疑情頓發
