佛偈語 孫慎行
中國
孫慎行晚年所寫行書佛偈八屏條。內容應是七佛，即毗婆尸佛、尸棄佛、毗舍浮佛、拘留孫佛、拘那含牟尼佛、迦葉佛與釋迦牟尼佛等悟道後所說的偈語。
此佛偈語八屏條，結字大小錯落有致，前後呼應，用筆信手揮灑，點畫變化多端，然寬博沉著，滲透出古拙之氣。其筆法兼融黃庭堅筆勢的跌宕，及李邕結體的欹側之姿，而獨闢蹊徑。
孫慎行字聞斯，號淇澳。武進（今江蘇常州）人。為明代（1368～1644）著名政治家，其操行正直，被尊為明代十大賢臣之一。博學善記，且善詩文，工書法，行筆率意，筆力遒勁。
參考釋文：亦滅見身無實是佛身了心如／幻是佛幻了得心本性空斯人與／性假借四大以為身心本無生因境／有前境若無心亦無罪福如幻起／佛何殊別佛不見身知是佛／若實有知別無佛智者能知／今付無法時法何曾法／玄宴子慎行書
