我要幸福，所以我選擇原諒

你有恨的人嗎？你有一輩子都不肯原諒的人嗎？

今天要與你們分享的這段故事，其實我掙扎了很久，因為它曾是我人生中最錐心的痛，一段不願提起的往事。

但願路過並駐足的你進來聽故事後，能得到溫暖及勇氣，再次啟程在你的人生道路上，勇敢邁進。


２０年前，在我的身上發生了一段故事，從此改變了我的人生。


那是一個酷熱的炎夏，對於大部分的高中生來說，即將面臨的大學聯考，讓他們喘不過氣來。但是對我而言，卻是滿懷期待的，因為我將展開一段驚奇又新鮮的留學之路。

當年，住在美國的阿姨主動提出，願意資助我去美國念大學的資金，這對當時生長在一個鄉下地方小康家庭的我，是連作夢都沒想過的事情。而我在毫無任何國外生活概念的情況下，收拾了行李，揮別了養育我１７年的家和疼愛我的家人，起程到美國去了。

到了美國後，我暫時住在阿姨的家中，與阿姨全家、舅舅和舅媽大夥一起生活，雖說我有好幾年沒與他們見面了，但我還依稀記得小時候這群長輩是非常疼我的。

尤其是阿姨，在我心目中，她活潑、健談、開明，就像是救國團裡帶領團康的大姐姐一樣，讓我變得與她無話不談。

某天中午我一個人在家，舅舅趁午休回來了，他把我引到臺階上坐著，然後對我說：我警告你喔，妳可不要把阿姨的女兒帶壞了！話畢，他又趕回公司上班了。

當下，我啞口無言，完全不知道為何我會被劃上這樣的符號　『一個會帶壞別人的女孩＂？　』

我可是一個在女校讀書，從來沒有超過晚上６點回家，沒有翹過課，長得就像是電影少女時代裡，那個林真心變漂亮前的翻版。


在我的心中一顆＂被背叛＂的種子，已經悄悄種下了。

開學後，一切對我這個來自彰化的小孩來說，都是那麼的新奇！第一次吃Subway、第一次聽到老外叫我 “Sweetie”、第一次聽到大家對我說” Have a nice day”、第一次看到黑人同學打籃球的英姿，第一次聽到現場美式足球賽的歡呼聲、第一次看到雪景、第一次 與喜歡的男生坐在草地上看夕陽，唱著＂橄欖樹＂給他聽…….

但，這也是我第一次接到父母暴跳如雷、吼聲霹靂的電話。

在對話裡我不斷地說著：我知道～　我有好好唸書，我不會亂交男朋友，我知道是阿姨資助我，我知道，我知道……..在電話中我一直不斷地為自己辯解！

我不能理解為什麼媽媽和爸爸每一次在電話裡所說的話，都充滿了不信任、充滿了責備、充滿了大聲辱罵，他們不斷地說：　妳阿姨說…..　妳阿姨說……！

爸爸、媽媽一聲聲的『妳阿姨說』已讓我心中那顆＂被背叛的種子＂萌了芽。

從此，每回宿舍房間內電話響起時，我的身體便不斷地顫抖，與爸媽通電話這件事開始讓我產生了恐懼。

／／／／／／／／／／／／／／／／／／

那是一個積雪約20-30公分的耶誕節，也是一個改變了我命運的季節。

『妳媽媽的債務由我們來還』阿姨這樣對我說。

我不知道媽媽的債務從何而來，或是欠債金額，但當腦子還在咀嚼阿姨的話時，雙腳已不受控制地往地板一跪，頭也不甘示弱地跟上腳步『往地上磕』！

我擁有的不是甜蜜１７歲（Sweet 17)，而是一幕幕『向阿姨及姨丈磕頭，謝謝他們的恩惠』的磕頭景象！

跪在地上哭紅雙眼的我對姨丈說：　我會努力唸書的，我一放假就會到你的工廠幫忙做事，我會乖的。

那天開始一切都不同了，我默默地退去到美國開心留學的外衣，披上了『我媽媽欠他們錢，我需要報恩的厚重外套』！

我開始到阿姨的工廠幫忙做事，一天7.5個小時站在生產線不斷地做工，每天我比誰都急著把午餐在１５分鐘之內吃完，並在大家回生產線前，我已經衝回去繼續工作，一天８個小時裡面，我只有１５分鐘是坐著的，其餘時間都是站著。

回到家後，同住的舅媽把我拉到一旁說：你待會兒等大家洗完澡後妳再去洗，不然熱水越到後面會越不熱。還有，你最好開始幫忙煮飯，反正就是做越多家事越好！

妳要想想，妳跟住在這裡其他的孩子不一樣，妳媽媽欠他們錢！

我拖著疲累的身子、忍著眼淚小聲的回答：我知道了，我跟其他小孩不一樣。
我好想家，想念最疼我的外公，想念那個不富有卻很溫馨的家。

每一天，我的手隨著生產線轉帶一樣，不停的動，腦子也不停的告訴自己：我要當一個乖小孩，因為我跟其他的小孩不一樣，我要幫媽媽！

某天中午，就像往常一樣我急忙吃完午餐，並趕在大家前面先回生產線上做工，突然耳邊出現了一個聲音：　

『妳這個查某內心在想什麼，我怎麼都看不透。』

是阿姨！她的雙眼眐眐地直視著我，我的身體在那溫暖的暖氣房內，瞬間降溫，彷彿我正躺在外面，那一片深達２０公分的積雪上。我不能理解為什麼她會對我說出這樣的話。

我１７歲，但在她眼裡我是『查某』！

💫承上篇

暑假結束回校後，我找到了打工的機會，也開始非常努力的讀書、練琴（我的主修是鋼琴），我告訴自己一定不可以讓父母失望，不可以被當！我可是付不起重修學費啊！

那年，我得到了學校鋼琴比賽第二名，因而受邀在國際學生宴會上表演。

當晚我非常的緊張，一上台彈不到幾分鐘，我居然整個當機，完全無法繼續。

當下，我鼓起了勇氣站了起來，轉身向現場幾百名賓客鞠躬，用英文向他們說：

Please give me one more chance! 請你們再給我一次機會。

全場掌聲如雷，所有的人都在為我打氣，而我也不負眾望，完美地完成了我的演奏，並驕傲地接受全場起立為我的勇氣鼓掌。

當時我是多麼希望爸、媽在現場，我相信他們一定會以我為榮的，女兒沒有讓你們失望！

回到宿舍後，我的朋友們都非常替我高興、驕傲，正當我們嘰哩呱啦興奮地聊著今晚的事蹟時，改變我命運的一通電話響起了！

媽媽，我告訴你，今天晚上……..

我接起電話，一句話都還沒有講完，另一頭的媽媽不斷地責罵我，一直在我身上冠一些莫須有的罪名，我徹底崩潰了，話筒從手中滑落。

身旁的室友馬上接了過去，對媽媽說: 阿姨，Vita 很乖的，她的成績及在校表現都非常的好。

『成績好，並不代表品性好』 ！！！媽媽說了這句話。

我哭得全身發抖，我最愛的父母，他們應該相信我，如果連我自己的家人都不信任我了，那我要這個家做什麼!

１７歲的我，選擇了不告而別，在朋友的幫忙下，逃到了日本！

／／／／／／／／／／／／／／／／


這一逃，我也斷了與外公一家最深刻的情緣。

一個我從小到大天天要通電話的阿公，我最愛的阿公，因為在阿姨們的壓力下，他告訴我他必須藏起他對我的愛，必須讓我走。

我失去了他，我摯愛的外公。

我無法去探望他，我無法陪著他，但最令我失望的是，為什麼連從小把我帶大的阿公，當時都選擇不相信我！

２０年了，那變成是一件塵封的往事，變成了是我人生中最遺憾的事蹟。是一段我不想面對，也不願再提起的故事。

／／／／／／／／／／／／／／／／

2015年，就在回台參加弟弟婚禮前，妹妹的一通簡訊，讓我這段塵封以久的往事，再度被掀起，妹妹說位子安排有困難，我必須與阿姨同桌。

我直覺性的回覆: 你這不是為難我嗎? 你這不是逼著我去面對一位我恨了20幾年的人嗎？

我無法控制自己的淚水，往事歷歷在目，當時的每一句話、每一個情景，我都沒忘，只不過一段段地將它們埋在心裡的某一個盒子裡。

婚禮前夕，我看到她了！　

當時的我就像是被拉回２０年前站在生產線前面的那個女孩，我面對著阿姨。

突然之間一股勇氣在我體內油然而升，我走到阿姨的面前牽起她的手，把她拉到房間裡，然後，我對她說：　

２０年了，我想我欠妳一個交代，我必須告訴你我當年不告而別的原因。

就這樣，我不斷地說著，她不斷地聽著，我們時而哭泣，時而歡笑，時而激動、時而擁抱。

一切都過去了，愛與勇氣，讓我們理解了彼此，讓我們為當時的事件，劃下了休止符。

當我走出房間後，我的外公、外婆他們老人家留著淚、抱著我、臉上堆滿的笑容告訴我：我的乖孫兒，你好乖！

／／／／／／／／／／／／／／／／

我的人生中有２０年的時間，總是在緬懷著那段失去的親情及遺憾著沒有親情的空白。

從一開始的不原諒自己，認為自己罪大惡極，不告而別！

漸漸地我一點一滴累積著原諒自己、並理解自己靈魂此生所要學習的課程！

這一步步走來，我從來沒有後悔過自己的任何決定，我反而非常感恩路途中所發生過的點點滴滴，因為它們就像是肥料般，讓我從恨自己、恨阿姨，孕育了『原諒自己及原諒別人』的勇氣。

『語後』

你的人生中是否有讓你無法忘懷、錐心刺骨的痛與恨？它是否讓你時而想起便淚崩無法自拔；它像是藤蔓將你的腳踝綁著，讓你在人生的道路上寸步難行！

我說：　原諒你自己吧！　

當時的你所做的每一個決定、所說的每一句話，無論你是否傷害了別人或是自己，都是以你當下的能力，所能做的唯一選擇。

我說：　原諒了自己，才有勇氣原諒對方！

選擇原諒不是軟弱、不是忘懷、不是認輸！而是覺醒、並看清這世間的所有人、事、物，只不過都是幫助你學習、靈魂再次進化的教具！

⭐️傷口，都是光明進入你的地方- 詩人 魯米

The wound is the place where the light enters you - Rumi

誰活著，心沒有被捅個幾刀，或背負著不可抹滅的傷疤！但我真心感恩那些讓我得到傷疤的人事物！

沒有你們，我或許無法看見自己，因為你們，我學會了原諒，因為你們，我學會了愛自己，因為你們～～～～～

我擁有看見『光明』的勇氣與能力。

／／／／／／／／／／／／／／／／

能否原諒並不代表比別人清高、高尚、領悟力高或能力強， 它或許只是代表『你的靈魂已準備好』。

我在與阿姨重逢之前，根本沒有想過要原諒她；但在那個moment 就是發生了。

一股不可思議的力量，讓我選擇了原諒。我並不覺得自己很了不起，或比任何人高等，只是單純地擁有一股力量，讓我走向了原諒。

原諒了在這段回憶中的自己、及所有的人事物，更確切的說，是我準備好了把那塊悲傷用『自己的愛』來澆灌，綻放更多探索自己人生無限可能的勇氣。

無論你還懷有多少恨、多少傷地走在自己的人生道路上，永遠別忘了對自己說：

辛苦了，謝謝你所做的一切努力！我愛你❤️

With love,

Vita

野放台灣五十餘年，貪狼獨坐，三方四正殺破狼格局，少年多舛，白手起家，隨展覽雲遊四海，如閒雲野鶴常持各類底片機流連廢墟、山川、宮廟忘返，遂設幻影堂自詡堂主，一日三省「凡所有相皆是虛妄」，常宅於暗房沖片放大通宵、鍾情黑白世界之單純，彩色照片俗世繽紛花俏做作甜美甚至比現實更現實故少拍也。知天命之年有餘，了悟人生一瞬、眨眼即逝，雖非仙人，亦無道骨，初聞離垢地生清淨心，但離華嚴「不動地」尚遠，待修持也。
2017年盛暑拍畢《巨神連線》，心律不整差點心肌梗塞向閻羅王報到，意識死神隨伺在側，人生苦短，如何了生脫死、盡斷煩惱、無所罣礙、遠離顛倒……總不得解，蒙釋迦摩尼佛開示飆淚三晝夜，聞佛法數載始知自我渺如塵埃，甚感慚愧。閒暇乃參訪名寺古剎，禮敬焚香佛陀菩薩羅漢諸神天仙王爺媽娘，台灣宮廟千奇百怪、宗派錯綜複雜（佛教、道教、一貫道、天主教、基督教、齋教、回教＆大同教、儒教鑾堂、天帝教＆天德教、慈惠堂＆勝安宮、軒轅教、道院、理教、萬國道德會、會靈山……）、神棍橫行（依人不依法、偶像崇拜、斂財、邪淫），因歷史變遷、社會動盪、政治鬥爭、意識形態等因素導致佛道混雜，但地獄造景稀少，後專注拍攝各殿閻王、判官、陰司、獄卒、七爺、八爺乃至一切罪人，各寺造景巧妙、耐人尋味，意境乖張溢於言表，造型扭曲非常人所能塑也，然匠心獨運、自成一格，專研西方藝術數十載方知真誠樸拙最美，絲毫不輸喬托（Giotto di Bondone，1267～1337）乃至米開朗基羅（Michelangelo Di lodovico Buonarroti Simoni 1475 ~ 1564）矣。

創立於1986年的石門金剛宮風景優美可眺望北濱，雖主祀四面佛，儒釋道眾神尊也不含糊，可過七星橋解厄、繞行五百黝黑羅漢敲鑼印心、跪拜亞洲最大臥佛涅槃像，安太歲自不在話下，甲子太歲爺雙眼長出手掌印象甚深，1994年經閻羅王指示廟公建造一條肚內設極樂世界及陰曹地府之神龍，行走暗黑通道觸動感應機關，只見面容猙獰受刑者呼天搶地喊冤、身邊盡是血肉糢糊殘肢敗屍腦漿塗地，十殿閻羅各司其職、威儀攝人。新北市林口區青嶺湖北文紫祥宮包公廟則以壁面彩塑地獄浮雕獨步全台，粉嫩色彩搭配卡漫風格，尤為造型簡直恐怖到可愛透頂，該廟主祀森羅殿閻羅天子包拯（包青天），陽世冤屈者可至此參拜祭解，求破懸案者眾，逢中元普渡皆以紙紮船渡亡魂至彼岸，全台唯一閻羅天子巨像籌備中，四周環繞墓地，適合修不淨觀也。台灣首尊彰化八卦山大佛旁南天宮（1971）地府則是首座電動地府，規模精小但驚嚇度破表，略顯破敗但五光十色仍蠻凶悍，出自已故台南大道長金登富之作，而電動神明起始可追溯至1960年代北港朝天宮。倒是嘉義水上鄉白人牙膏觀光工廠「戴相府」、「將軍府」設置十殿地府出乎意料之外，乾淨亮麗、ㄧ殿ㄧ間、簡單樸實。由高雄蓮潭龍虎塔龍口入內可見全臺唯一交趾陶地獄牆面，尊尊栩栩如生，續入龍身乃進聞聲救苦白衣觀音大士三十三化身浮雕隧道，造型設色甚為古錐。高雄大岡山超峰寺入口處「西方三聖蓮池海會」（阿彌陀佛、觀世音菩薩、大勢至菩薩巨像）旁設靜態十殿閻羅（1970年代初），雖略為陳舊然韻味猶存，續往上行可抵「證菩提道－釋迦如來應化事迹」雕塑園區，一攬世尊畢生精華。如來年邁時，琉璃國王為報長期被釋迦族輕蔑之傲慢心，世尊雖三次單獨伽跌坐 阻擋大軍進攻之路，但因緣果報無法逆轉，昔日婢女所生王子瞋恨無以復加，還是滅了祖國。自持神通第一目犍連不忍無辜百姓慘遭屠殺，遂以缽盛救度五百族人，最終卻化為血水，佛言神通廣大仍不敵千百劫業力，因緣果報屢試不爽。其母死後墜入餓鬼道飢餓難耐，目犍連遂展神通救渡，但所食尚未入口皆化為赤火，佛陀囑咐農曆七月十五日僧眾解安居自恣日，於盆中設甘露美食供養十方僧眾，因此超度亡母。後世「盂蘭盆法會」乃至「水懺法會」、「瑜珈焰口法會 」皆為消業障、斷塵垢之超渡儀軌，既渡亡魂也自懺悔。

台南麻豆代天府規模宏大、造型豔麗，不但可遊十八層地獄尚可逛天堂（1979年興建，1983年開放)，燈光絢爛、聲響駭人，獨自漫步宛如觀落陰、地獄走一回。先過「心頭山」、入「清心池」、進「陰陽界」、抵「交簿廳」、達「鬼門關」、遊「補經所」、探「枉死城」、行「奈何橋」，至ㄧ殿泰廣王照「孽鏡台」現造惡原形，睹抱柱、火床等小地獄。二殿楚江王開「陰查簿 」判案定奪，觀糞尿泥、餓鬼、舞池、寒冰、膿血、鞭韃、舌犁、劍葉、戟腹拋接、砧截……等小地獄。三殿宋帝王刑罰為倒吊、銅鐵刮臉、挖眼、搗樁、倒烤、吸血、穿肋、抽筋、蛆蛀等小地獄……兼遊「四生（胎、卵、濕、化）回魂府」。四殿五官王掌管腰斬、拔舌、沸湯、刺嘴、剝皮、箭樹、車崩、射眼……等十六小地獄。隨五殿森羅王豋「望鄉臺」回眸親人最終眼後觀擊膝、誅心、刀山、飛刀火石……小地獄。六殿卞城王別稱「大叫喚大地獄」，轄火牛、虎啖、噬腎、鉗嘴含鍼、釘喉、磨摧、砍頭……等小地獄。七殿泰山王為「熱惱大地獄」，窺烙手指、抽腸、頂石蹲身、油釜滾烹、割舌穿腮……等十六小地獄。八殿都市王掌管「大熱惱大地獄」兼火狗、鐵汁、鐵蛇、鋸劈斷肢、釘板、灸脊、鐵丸、磅秤……等小地獄。九殿平等王直轄十八層「阿鼻大地獄」，直透地心、內中陰森、不見五指、滿溢地漿，皆為極犯，另轄紫赤毒蛇鑽孔、夾頂、鐵鴉、針雨、蜂蠍……等小地獄。至十殿輪轉王上「觀生臺」、「轉劫所八司」（查驗司 、稽善司 、考過司 、恩怨司 、壽命司 、支配司、掌劫司 、授生司）後至「孟婆亭」飲「醧忘湯」忘盡前塵往事，依前世功德過金、銀、玉、石、木、竹六種橋樑至「轉輪臺（紫河車）」入六道輪迴轉生投胎。據《十八泥犁經》記載，人過世後七七四十九天為「中陰生」，經閻羅王審判善惡業力判定去留或懲罰百千萬劫，犯五逆重罪則墮入「無間地獄（阿鼻地獄）」永劫不復。地藏王乃幽冥教主，統轄十殿閻羅，逢三曹普渡便在各殿設「講道所」超度尚存善根之鬼魂。

人類居於五趣（阿修羅、人、傍生、餓鬼、地獄）雜居地五濁惡世之堪忍世界，犯十惡業（殺生、偷盜、邪淫、妄語、兩舌、惡口、綺語、貪慾、嗔恚、愚痴）者必墮三趣惡道。如何出「三界」（欲界、色界、無色界）二十八天？凡人無此意識，別說能破「十二因緣」（無明、行、識、名色、六入、觸、受、愛、取、有、生、老死）還滅門，更別想斷除「四聖諦」（苦、集、滅、道）集地八十一品見惑與八十八使思惑（五利使-身見、邊見、邪見、見取見、戒禁取見、五鈍使-貪、瞋、癡、慢、疑），了悟「五蘊」（色、受、想、行、識）本空、「十二入」（眼、耳、鼻、舌、意、色、聲、香、味、觸、法）空、「十八界」空，破俱生我執與分別我執、法執甚至空執，生十一處「善心所」（信、精進、慚、愧、無貪、無瞋、無痴、輕安、不放逸、行捨、不害），降二十六處「惡心所」（貪、瞋、癡、慢、疑、惡見、忿、恨、覆、惱、嫉、慳、誑、諂、害、憍、無慚、無愧、掉舉、惛沉、不信、懈怠、放逸、失念、散亂、不正知），須知善根斷盡則陷永劫輪迴、無垠轉世之苦。

地獄可能空滅嗎？若地獄空乏人間多鬼怪，地獄淨空世間何嘗非淨土？若能證空性何處現地獄？

地獄曠古來便廣泛流傳各部族間，老死生滅為自然運行之基礎、宇宙意識之核心，然今文明昌盛如咱城邦並非慾望消弭之所，惡性所及實無可根除，礙於憲法國家法律社會軍隊企業公司學校家庭團體之層層束縛不亞於十八層，乃遁於壓抑、束己情懷，暗埋心底、日久貪嗔痴慢疑怨噌會疊穢。而六塵未熄，心多妄念，妖魔鬼怪魑魅魍魎孤魂閃靈出沒於荒郊乃至人間，會靈於曠野密林以增性靈乃出世高人修煉之舉，我等凡人擅闖宛如迪士尼般之人造地獄，三魂七魄尚不足以出竅，驚邪恐怖淒厲猙獰倒滿足了自以為是的慚愧，豈不謬哉？

姚瑞中寫於2021年端午節

Postscript

I have been living recklessly in Taiwan for more than fifty years. According to Zi Wei Dou Shu (Purple Star Astrology), Tan Lang is the sole star in my house of Self. This star, which represents xxx, forms an equilateral triangle with that star Qi Sha and Po Jun on the square chart and constitutes a Sha Po Lang pattern. The pattern indicates a kind of turbulence and change, a life of wandering with ups and downs and it tells a lot about my life. After my ill-fated youth, I started from scratch and traveled around the world with exhibitions that I participated. Like a flaneur, I wandered around ruins, nature, and temples with every type of film camera obliviously. Thus, I founded the Hall of Illusion and claimed to be the master of the hall. Several times a day, I pondered a quote from the Diamond Sutra, “Everything with form is unreal.” In addition, I usually stayed in the darkroom developing film and enlarging those negatives overnight. However, I treasured the simplicity of the black and white world. The earthly, gaudy, garish, phony and pleasing qualities within colored photos make the images even more realistic than the real world. It is not my cup of tea, so I seldom took colored photos. In Confucian thought, the age of fifty marks the stage knowing the mandate of Heaven. I am now at my fifties and realize how ephemeral human life is. However, I am not an immortal, nor having sagelike characteristics. I just learned that the stage of stainless (the second bhūmi) and develop a pure mind that is free from doubt and defilement. However, I’m still far from the immovable state and need to practice.

In the summer of 2017, after filming the work Incarnation, I experienced a severe heart rhythm problem which almost triggered myocardial infarction and could have killed me. Consequently, I realized that death was waiting for me and the life is too short to figure out how I can liberate myself from the cycle of Birth and Death. I couldn’t comprehend how to be free from all afflictions and worries and how to avoid delusive ideas. I wept for three days and nights after being enlightened by Shakyamuni Buddha. Up to the moment, I felt ashamed that I failed to realize that the self is as insignificant as dust after these years learning and practicing Buddhism. Since then, I have visited famous temples and monasteries in my spare time, worshiping Buddha, Bodhisattvas, arhats, and all the deities and immortals. Taiwan’s temples are myriad with a enormous number of sects, including Buddhism, Taoism, Yiguandao, Catholicism, Christianity, Chinese religions of fasting, Islam& Baháʼí Faith, Confucianism, Tiandiism& Tian-De Teachings, Xiwangmu cult, Yellow Emperor Sect, Precosmic Salvationism, Liism, World Wide Ethical Society, séance cult, etc. Some people even claim that they can mediate communication between the deities or spirits of the dead with human beings, having their believer rely on themselves instead of the orthodox dharma or dogma and pay excessive respect and admiration for the mediums or objects, accumulating wealth through such an unfair means or even harassing their believer sexually. Due to Taiwan’s historical changes, social turbulence, political struggles, and ideological issues, Buddhism and Taoism are somehow mixed. However, there are few emphases on the concept of the hell. As I took photographs of Yama of each court, judges, wardens of the underworld, jailers, General Fan and Hsieh (the ghost escorts) and all sinners, I found few temples cleverly created hellish scenes that are intriguing, exaggerating, and extraordinary. However, the creations are unparalleled unique. I have been studying Western arts for decades and then I came to realize that simplicity makes the most beautiful works of art. These hellish scenes can even compete with works of Giotto di Bondone (1267-1337) and Michelangelo Di lodovico Buonarroti Simoni (1475-1564).

Jingang Temple Shimen District, founded in 1986, overlooks the beautiful North shore. Although the temple is mainly dedicated to Phra Phrom (the Thai representation of Mahabrahma), spirits of Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism can also be founded in the temple. The worshipper can go cross the Seven Star bridge to relieve bad luck, walk along the five hundred arhat statues and knock on the gong to affirm one’s Buddha nature. Furthermore, the worshipper can also prostrate themself before Asia’s largest statue of Buddha in Nirvana (the Reclining Buddha statue) and pacify the Taoist Tai Sui deity of the year. I was impressed by the Jia-Zi Tai Sui General that a pair of palms grow out of his eyes. In 1994, the biō-kong (the person taking charge of the temporal affairs of a temple) received a divine inspiration from Yama (the King of Hell) that he had to build a sacred hall in the shape of a divine dragon, with the interior designed according to the World of Ultimate Bliss and the Underworld. When the visitor walks in the dark hallway, they will see the tortured people (dioramas, of course) scrunching their faces and crying bitterly and loudly in excessive grief as the visitor triggers the mechanism. One will even find them in the midst of flesh, body liquid and blood, mutilated limbs, and rotten corpses. While each of the ten Yamas are focusing on their own duties, showing their sacred dignity that collect visitors’ attention. The Baogong Temple in Linkou District, New Taipei City exclusively features colorful depiction of hellish scenes in relief in Taiwan. With its pastel shades and cartoon-like style, the relief is both grotesque and adorable at the same time. This temple is dedicated to Bao Zhen (also known as Justice Bao) representing the incarnation of Yama. Living people who have been treated unjustly can come worshipping Bao Gong and receive exorcism. Therefore, many people come here for seeking to solve unsolved cases. In Zhongyuan Festival (the ghost festival), the temple will burn the Zhizha (paper craft) boat to ferry the ghosts to the other shore, which is the shore of enlightenment. The only giant statue of Yama in Taiwan is still in the making. The temple is surrounded by a cemetery, suitable for meditating on the loathsomeness and impurity. Nantian Temple (1971), located next to the Eight Trigram Mountains Buddha in Changhua, features the first animatronic underworld. Despite the small size, the animatronic underworld is intensely shocking. Though it’s slightly worn, the colorful dioramas are still brutally ferocious. The creator was the late venerable Dao Zhang (Taoist priest) Jing Deng-fu while the origin of animatronic deities can be traced back to the 1960s Beigang Chaotian Temple. On the contrary, the Whiteman Toothpaste Tourism Factory in Shuishang Township, Chiayi, features ten Yamas with individual booth. The place is unexpectedly clean and polished yet keeps a simple and modest tone. Then, the Dragon Pagoda of the Dragon and Tiger Pagodas at Lotus Lake in Zuoying, Kaohsiung, holds the only relief of hellish scenes made of Kochin ceramic. All the figures are vivid and life-like. If one goes further into the pagoda, they will see a relief tunnel of the thirty-three incarnations of the white-robed form of Guanyin (Avalokiteśvara) on a white lotus, with a lovely and interesting design. Another Hall of Yama is built in the 1970s next to the entrance of Dagangshan Chaofeng Temple, located in the Alian District of Kaohsiung. Visitors will also see three statues of the Three Holy Ones of the Western Pureland (Amitābha, Avalokiteśvara, Mahāsthāmaprāpta) which assemble at a lotus pond. Although the hellish scene looks somewhat antiquated, you may still find its previous charm. If one goes further, they will reach the sculptural garden of “Attaining the Bodhi Way: the Incarnation of Sakyamuni Buddha,” where the visitor can see the essence of Bhagavato’s (meaning the Blessed one, one of the common epithets for Buddha) life. When Tathāgata (another epithet for Buddha) was old, the king of Kosala wanted to avenge the arrogance of the tribe of Shakyas who had long despised him, regarding him as a son of a maiden. Although Buddha has sat in lotus position alone three times to stop the army from attacking his tribe. However, one can never reverse the cause and following karma. The prince born of a maiden was so furious that he eventually destroyed his homeland. Maudgalyāyana (one of the Buddha’s closest disciples), who is said to have had supernatural abilities that surpassed the other disciples, could not bear to see the slaughter of innocent people. Thus, he saved five hundred people of his tribe with a pātra (an eating utensil of Buddhist monks). Unfortunately, everything he did was in vain, those who were saved eventually turned into a puddle of blood. The Buddha said that the supernatural abilities cannot surpass the power of karma. The cause and effect work all the time. When Maudgalyāyana’s mother fell into the path of hungry ghost, he used his supernatural abilities to save his mother from hunger. However, all the food turned into fire before being fed to his mother. Later, the Buddha commanded the monks to put nectar and dishes in a basin on the 15th day of the seventh month in the lunar calendar for the monks from all directions to free his mother from reincarnation. In later times, the Ullambana Dharma Service, the Compassionate Samadhi Water Repentance, and the Yoga Collection for Feeding the Searing Mouths Dharma Service are rituals to eliminate karmic hindrance and to cease to worldly delusions. Through such practices, one can free the dead as well as confess their repentance.

Madou Daitian Temple is a magnificent and colorful temple in Tainan. Not only can the worshippers visit the eighteen levels of Hell but also the Heaven (it was built in 1979 and inaugurated in 1983) here. The lighting and sound effects are stunning and frightening. When walking alone in the space, one may feel like taking a Guan Luo Yin trip (a Taoist necromancy which leads people’s spirits to hell and communicate with the dead ones) to visit the underworld prison. Before arriving the first court of the underworld, the visitor will walk through the Mountain of Heart Summit, the Pure Heart Pond, the Frontier between the Living and the Dead Realms, the Soul Registry Hall, the Portico of Demons, the Center for Complementary Teaching of Canonical Books, the Citadel of Premature Death, and the Bridge of Vanity. When one arrives at the first court, they will see King Chin-guang, who is in charge of the court, using the Mirror of Retribution to show the earthly form of evil creatures and also witness the sub-hell of Pillar-Holding and Fire Bed, etc. At the second court, King Chu-jiang collates the register of sins the souls of the dead have committed to impose the punishments. Here, you will see the sub-hell of Excrement and Urine, Hungry Ghost, Burning Dance Floor, Ice, Pus and Blood, Whipping, Tongue-Raking, Sword Blade, Stomach-Piercing, Chopping, etc. Next, the dead at the third court, ruled by King Song-di, will receive the punishments including inversion tortures, face-skinning with steel and copper knife, eye-wrenching, pounding, blood-sucking, rib-piercing, roasting, tendon-taking, being eaten by maggots. The visitor can pay a visit to the Palace of Soul-Resuscitation for the Four Forms of Creatures (birth from an egg, birth from a womb, birth from moisture, and birth by transformation). King Wu-guan is in charge of the fourth court. There are sixteen sub-hells at the fourth court including Waist Chop, Tongue Removal, Boiling Pond, Mouth-stabbing, Skin-peeling, Sword Tree, Burning Wheels and Cart, Eye-shooting, etc. Next, at the fifth court, sinful souls are allowed to ascend the Tower of Hometown-Viewing to take a final look of their family. The visitor will witness sub-hells of Knee-striking, Heart-slicing, Blade Mountain, Flying Swords and Burning Stones, etc. The King of Bian City takes charge of the sixth court, which is also known as the “Great Hell of Screaming,” with sub-hells including Fire Cattle, Tiger-Biting, Kidney-Eating, Mouth-Poking, Throat-Nailing, Iron Mill, Decapitation, etc. The King of Tai-shan is in charge of the seventh court, the “Great Hell of Heat and Fire.” The sixteen sub-hells at this court include Finger-Searing, Bowel-Hauling, Stone-Bearing, Boiling Oil, Tongue-Removal and Cheek-Piercing, etc. Next, the King Du-shi is in charge of the eighth court, the “Great Hell of Intense Fire and Heat,” and the sub-hells including Fire Dogs, Molten Iron, Iron Snakes, Dismemberment, Steel Spikes, Burning-Marrow, Iron Ball, Scale, etc. The ninth court is ruled by the King Ping-deng. It is known as the biggest court, Avici Hell (the Hell of Incessant Suffering), which if the lowest level of the hell realm and the interior is gloomily and terrifyingly dark. Those who committed the most serious evil deed will be sent to the Avici Hell. Sub-hells such as Poisonous Snake, Brain-Removal, Crow-Gnawing, Raining Needles, Wasps and Scorpions are included at this court. After arriving the tenth court, ruled by the Great King of the Reincarnation Palace, one can visit the “Observatory of Life on earth” and the “eight bureaus of the Reincarnation Palace” (including the Bureau of Judicial Control, the Bureau of Good-Actions, the Bureau of Bad-Actions, the Bureau of Debts, Gratitude, and Vengeance, the Bureau of Longevity and Destiny, the Bureau of Familial Ties, the Bureau of the Reincarnated, and the Bureau of Birth). The sinful one will be sent to the Pavilion of Mengpo and made to drink the Soup of Forgetfulness to forget all past affairs. According to the sinful one’s merits of previous life, they will go across one of the six bridges (gold, silver, jade, stone, wood, bamboo) to the “Reincarnation-Wheel (Wheel on the Crimson River).” Finally, one is able to reborn in the six realms. According to the Aṣṭadaśa nāraka sutra ( the Eighteen Hells Sutra), after one passes away, they will enter an intermediate and transitional state between death and rebirth, known as antarābhava in Sanskrit, for forty-nine days. The being will be evaluated by Yama, who will decide if one should get reborn or get punished at the hell. Those who committed the Five Grave Offenses (killing one’s father, killing one’s mother, killing an Arhat, shedding the blood of a Buddha, and creating a schism within the community of Buddhist monks and nun who practice for attaining enlightenment.) will be sent to the Avici Hell and stay there eternally. Kṣitigarbha is the Lord of the Nether World, ruling the ten court of Hell. The lord will set up the “Hall of Teaching” at each court to salvage those sinful ones who still obtain few merits at the offering rituals.

Human beings live the Sahā world (sahāloka in Sanskrit, meaning “endurance of suffering,” a concept of mundane world in Mahāyāna Buddhism) where they share with other reincarnations (including beings of the hells, of the preta, and of malevolent nature spirits) with five turbidities (the Kalpa turbidity, the view turbidity, the affliction turbidity, the living beings turbidity, and the life turbidity). Those who commit the ten evil deeds (killing, stealing, adultery, lying, using immoral language, slandering, equivocating, coveting, anger, and false views) must fall into the three evil paths (animals, preta, and hell). However, how can one escape from the three realms/ twenty-eight heavens (including the six heavens of the desire realm, the eighteen heavens of the form realm, and the four heavens of the formless realm)? Worldly people who don’t have such an awareness cannot leave the cycle of the twelve nidanas (meaning causes or motivations), let alone eliminate the eighty-one afflictions (that have been produced due to misunderstanding regarding reality) and the eighty-eight illusions (including five afflictions of advanced practitioners, also known as five views: view of self, extreme view, evil view, view of attachment to views, and view of morality; and five unintelligent temptations: desire, anger, stupidity, arrogance, and doubt) of thought within the three realms and four Arya satyas (noble truths, including suffering, arising, ending, and path). They cannot realize that the essence of the five skandhas (referring to aggregates of clinging, including the matter of form, sensation, recognition, mental formation, and consciousness) , the twelve ayatana (meaning sense base, including six internal bases: eye, ear, nose, tongue, body, and mind and six external bases: visible objects, sound, odor, taste, touch, and mental objects), and the eighteen dhātavah (meaning compositional elements of human existence, including six consciousness, six faculties, and their objects) are the emptiness and the void. Furthermore, they cannot dispel the two reasons for clinging to the idea of the self and the attachment to elemental constructs and even believe in the two (false) tenets that that karma and nirvana are not real and that the ego and phenomena are real. As a consequence, they fail to develop the eleven wholesome mental factors (faith, energy, conscience, being ashamed, non-attachment, non-aggression, non-delusion, calmness, equanimity, conscientiousness, and non-injuriousness) and cease the sixteen unwholesome mental factors (desire, greed, anger, delusion, arrogance, doubt, wrong view, wrath, enmity, hypocrisy, vexation, jealousy, parsimony, deceit, flattery, harming, ambitiousness, stupidity, lacking of faith, idleness, being unrestrained, forgetting, distraction, non-discernment, ). One must bear in mind that once all our virtuous roots are discontinued, they will be trapped in the never-ending reincarnation and the suffering of infinite continuity.
Is it possible that the hell will be empty one day? If the beings in hell will become extinct while evil spirits inhabit the mundane world, the world could be considered as a pure land. If we could witness the nature of the void, then hell will exist no more.
Since ancient times, the concept of hell has been widely spread among all tribes. Aging, death, beginning, and end are the basis of nature and the core of cosmic consciousness. However, the prosperous civilization as our island is not a place where desire can be eliminated. It’s impossible to eradicate evil nature. Since fetters brought by the constitution, the state, the law, society, the military, corporations, schools, families, and groups are not less than the eighteen levels of hell, the mortals repress themselves, bury their feelings. Day after day, greed, anger, stupidity, arrogance, doubt, and resentment are stacking. However, since the six dust (visible objects, sound, odor, taste, touch, and mental objects) has not yet been extinguished, people in the mundane world are still full of delusions. The demons, devils, evil spirits, and the wondering dead exist in the wilderness, while only advanced practitioners with transcendent would attempt to make contact with the dead in the wasteland and forest. Worldly people like us trespass in Disneyland-like man-made hell. It is absurd and ridiculous that the hellish scenes cannot stop us from perpetrating evil deeds, but the horrific and cruel scenes yet satisfy our self-righteous shame.

The pandemic has been boiling over for more than a year and a half. The number of infected patients worldwide is nearly a hundred and eighty million, and the death toll has risen to four million, which is equivalent to a war crisis. I hope that we can all be compassionate, give peace to the dead, treat all sentient beings well and equally. The hell is innately empty; however, deluded and misleading thoughts would give rise to all jealousy and hatred and then manifest the hell before us. This book merely serves as a memorandum of conscience for dictators of the world’s new cold war, supporters of unrestrained warfare, dark web hackers, and those who are cunning and contemptuous and maltreat others when knowing they have problems.

2018年食藥署公布的最新邊境檢驗結果發現，知名美式賣場進口的美國酪梨致癌重金屬「鎘」超標，雖然食藥署已在第一時間將問題產品全數退運或銷毀，並未流入市面，但當時消息一出仍舊引發民眾恐慌。

台灣也曾因環境汙染，發生鎘米事件，究竟吃到被鎘汙染的食物，是不是就會造成鎘中毒或是致癌呢？

鎘中毒傷腎與骨骼

林口長庚醫院臨床毒物中心主任顏宗海醫師表示，世界衛生組織（WHO）將鎘列為一級致癌物，鎘中毒主要發生在骨骼病變，例如骨折、軟骨症，相當疼痛。除此之外還會傷腎，因為吃下的鎘會在腎臟中累積，半衰期可達20年以上，使得腎功能惡化。此外，與老人家的前列腺（攝護腺）癌也可能有關。

鎘：玩具、吸管也可能有

不限飲食與農作物，有時主管機關在稽查海鮮食材，也曾有鎘超標的情事，不過顏宗海醫師補充，這部分因為有把關，大家可以放心。

但日常生活中也可能接觸到鎘，顏宗海醫師舉例，例如玩具或吸管如果是五顏六色，就有可能含有鎘，因為鎘也是某些顏料的成分。此外一提到香菸，大家可能直接想到尼古丁，但事實上香菸中有幾百種有毒物質，鎘也是其中之一，吸菸者血液中的鎘濃度比一般人高。

鎘中毒威脅近在眼前

鎘中毒從上個世紀五十年代就出現，在日本與海峽兩岸都有過案例發生，雖然漸漸為人淡忘，但它的潛在威脅其實並未消失，甚至就近在你我身邊。

1950年代日本富山縣確診了全球第一起因為鎘汙染水源，導致飲水與農作物含鎘而傷害人體的事件，患者因為劇烈痛苦一直喊痛，而成為病名「痛痛病」的來源。

台灣在1982年也發生鎘米事件，起因同樣因為違規工廠排放未經處理的廢水，汙染了周邊農田，包括桃園、彰化、台中、雲林等縣市都出現被汙染的田地，必須強制休耕20至30年。

預防鎘中毒這樣做

一般常聽到的重金屬汙染，例如鉛中毒或是汞中毒，臨床上都可以利用螫合劑治療解毒，但是對鎘中毒不起作用，因為面對鎘中毒，顏宗海醫師表示，最佳的作法就是預防重於治療。

戒菸
想要停止曝露在鎘汙染的環境，戒菸是第一步，可以連帶遠離鎘、尼古丁等數百種有害物質。

選擇台灣米
台灣自於鎘米事件後，農委會針對在地自產米都有進行鎘的檢測，因此買台灣米比買進口米安全。

玩具、餐具選擇白色
日常生活中色繽紛的用品，無論是從玩具到餐具，生產業者有可能不慎用到含鎘顏料，因此使用白色的用品較為安全。
