Song of the White Lotus
Ink on satin
White Lotus Song (detail)
白蓮歌卷 阿字今無
中國
今無和尚三十二歲時所書。此卷為今無以白蓮為喻作祝壽詞，並請翁大士訂正。
該卷結字狹長，行間疏朗，神情清臞，字有大小、輕重、欹側之姿，於自然中見其神采，足見功力與才氣已臻純熟。用筆結體似受陳洪綬影響，蘊藉閑雅，略無火氣。首末行間和諧綿密，顯見修道者心平神靜之境界，至為難得。
阿字今無俗姓萬。明（1368～1644）末清（1644～1911）初禪僧、書法家。廣東番禺人。禪學、詩文、書法造詣不凡，名噪廣東佛教界。
參考釋文：蓮花如雪映雪／衢千年一抽世所／無芰莖蔤葉七／寶鬚天風掣擊
