Lotus Sutra - Introductory Chapter (right end section)
Gold on paper
法華經序品
中國
此卷以金泥為墨，書寫於深藍色瓷青紙上，金字藍紙相映奪目。《妙法蓮華經》略稱《法華經》、《妙法華經》。此經序品說明世尊眉間白毫放光，照遍東方世界國土，是欲演說大乘佛法，名《妙法蓮華經》的因緣。
此書筆意較長，運筆提按舒緩優柔，不但筆畫起始與撇捺皆精麗而迴護周全，結字頗見法度，已是楷書高度發展下的產物，且類於唐代（618～907）書法家褚遂良所書的《雁塔聖教序》的風韻，更是此作最值得品味之處。
參考釋文：妙法蓮華經序品第一／如是我聞一時佛住王舍城耆闍崛山中與／大比丘眾萬二千人俱皆是阿羅漢諸漏已／盡無復煩惱逮得己利盡諸有結心得自在／其名曰阿若憍陳如摩訶迦葉優樓頻螺迦／葉伽耶迦葉那提迦葉舍利弗大目犍連摩／訶迦旃延阿●（上少+下免）樓馱劫賓那憍梵波提離婆／多畢陵伽婆蹉薄拘羅摩訶拘絺羅難陀孫／陀羅難陀富樓那彌多羅尼子須菩提阿難／羅●（目+侯）羅如是眾所知識大阿羅漢等復有學／無學二千人摩訶波闍波提比丘尼與眷屬／六千人俱羅●（目+侯）羅母耶輸陀羅比丘尼亦與／眷屬俱菩薩摩訶薩八萬人皆於阿耨多羅
