永遠不會忘記,20年前的今天9月11日,晚上的8:46,小玉兒正在錄股市現場。
那時候還是在做幕後執行製作,跟所有工作人員一如往常的在進行現場live錄影。突然間,在外面辦公室的同仁突然慌忙的跑進副控,大喊:「剛才我居然看到CNN在播,有一台飛機撞上紐約雙子星大樓,起火燃燒,天空佈滿黑煙」全部同仁瞬間提高戒備,心想,難道是重大空難嗎?
現場錄影節目仍然在進行當中,我們趕快請同仁去確認消息,沒想到,過了17分鐘,又有同仁衝進副控,驚魂未定的說著:「又有另外一架飛機撞上去了,CNN開始在朝恐怖攻擊的方向追。」
全非凡開始動員,在公司的馬上追,已經回到家的立刻回公司,才剛打卡下班的接到電話轉頭又往公司方向快步前進,新聞部、節目部全都繃緊神經,馬上延長新聞時段,通宵提供觀眾最新進展,直到隔天早上。
還記得我打了所有能打的電話,拜託熟識的來賓可否大半夜的來上節目,分析政治局勢以及經濟衝擊,他們情義相挺來到現場,我們要安排段落、安排機位、安排所有過程進行順利,所有非凡人都在盡一己之力,只為了讓觀眾能夠最快速的了解所有面向。
但當小玉兒打電話敲通告或跟現場來賓討論的同時,視線還要看著海內外各台畫面,眼裏閃過所有美國即時新聞畫面時,你知道要邊工作邊忍住不放聲大哭有多難嗎?
你會不敢相信:「怎麼會有這麼殘忍的事情發生?」你會不斷的問自己:「這是真的嗎?」新聞畫面中有如世界末日,看著血肉模糊斷手斷腳的人陸續被救出來,看著家人親友不斷哀嚎痛哭暈厥,看著世貿大樓外有小黑點往下墜,聽說是有人受不了高溫,直接從幾十層的高樓往下跳。
對我們來說,也許只是一個曾經發生的新聞事件,但對於所有受難者家屬而言,卻是無法承受之痛。
911留下的歷史紀錄和傷痛,重創美國,也讓全世界再也不平靜。

【《沙丘》小說六部曲:你只能變成五千年沙漠裡的一粒砂】
妳去過沙漠嗎?可能很少人有過這種體驗:眼前是一片不可思議的金黃,延伸到無邊無際,甚至超出妳的想像力之外。那壯大的視覺奇觀,很容易令妳誤以為,整座星球早已經被這片沙漠覆蓋。
這種震撼甚至強大到令妳屏住呼吸……而當妳的自主神經開始發揮機制時,隨著空氣順勢鑽進鼻孔的細砂,將會刺痛妳的鼻腔。當妳發現,這刺痛其實意味著妳正呼吸著這奇觀的一部分時,也代表著妳正在接觸、接納、與不由自主地化為沙漠的一部分。
也許妳沒有去過沙漠,但妳仍然可以透過眼睛「吸一口」沙漠——閱讀《沙丘》六部曲,妳就能成為遙遠銀河裡那顆沙漠行星的一部分,享受壯麗、華美、殘酷、失落與茫然,彷彿最終身心都變成了一粒砂,飄散在千年宇宙帝國的空氣中。
很難用文字或影像形容沙漠,而很難想像小說家法蘭克赫伯特,是如何用文字構築這片虛構的宇宙沙漠。50 年代,美國政府農業部研究如何透過植披來防治沙漠化現象,而赫伯特原本要以此為題,寫篇分析論文,但是他研究地越深,卻對這個「植物 vs 沙漠」的概念越發著迷。
最終這篇論文一直沒寫完,赫伯特倒是寫了一本新小說,描述遙遠星際裡的沙漠星球上,武裝勢力搶奪香料的浩瀚史詩。這個《沙丘》的誕生緣起有種無心插柳柳成蔭的趣味,但是這片柳蔭卻遠比我們想像的還要複雜、還有野心、還要漆黑。
江湖傳聞,喬治盧卡斯借用了《沙丘》的元素,寫成了《星際大戰》的故事。史詩人人會寫,卻不是每篇史詩都能輕易抄襲,更何況是無法用一句話形容的《沙丘》——上段「浩瀚史詩」云云只不過是極為浮面的形容。
很難想像法蘭克赫伯特的經歷,因為單從《沙丘》看來,這位小說家應該有地理學家背景、歷史學家背景(應該特別了解英國玫瑰戰爭時期的宮鬥歷史)、生物學家背景(了解沙漠動植物生態與演化)、宗教學家背景(對於政教合一制度時代與宗教如何影響宮闈知之甚詳)等等,這讓《沙丘》描述的不止是一段冒險故事而已,而是一個栩栩如生、設定完備的宇宙。
那裡有前所未見的珍奇異獸、特殊的風土民情、政治經濟宗教三方角力的社會氛圍。你能說《沙丘》是科幻小說、是戰爭小說、是歷史小說、是超能力少年冒險小說、是王子復仇記、是宇宙版的《冰與火之歌》與《三國志》……用一句話形容《沙丘》,誰都辦不到。
法蘭克赫伯特曾說過:「有人說(《沙丘》)是一部宗教批判小說……很多人說這不是科幻小說,而是一套哲學小說。以我的觀點,我能接受它被稱為科幻小說……但無論如何,我不關心他們怎麼稱呼《沙丘》、我不關心他們會不會把《沙丘》放在寫著『科幻類』的書架上。」
赫伯特沒說的是,《沙丘》系列要說得更多。
好吧,我們可以很不禮貌地說,《沙丘》就是一部塞滿各種奇想設定——而且不像維基百科那麼枯燥、仍然很好看的小說。但這樣仍然代表著我們小看了《沙丘》,因為《沙丘》還有續集:《沙丘:救世主》。
在前集法蘭克赫伯特已經鋪陳好一個完美的沙丘宇宙,搬演一套亡族王子復國的傳統戲碼,但到了《沙丘:救世主》,已經成為銀河裡最有力量的王子保羅,卻仍然要與其他勢力拉扯,甚至與自己拉扯——以他偉大的形象為名,一場聖戰已經爆發,而渴望平凡生活的保羅,必須著思如何找到自己的接班人,並讓自己的帝國長長久久地延續下去,最終讓保羅不再是「保羅」。但是這個把沙丘星球扛到全銀河最高高度的偉人,怎麼能夠一走了之呢?而身邊他最親近最關心的人們,又怎麼能不受到波及呢?
這看來讓故事進入了開國君主的治國困境裡,但是《沙丘:救世主》不只如此。換個角度,它同時也在分析服從與領導的議題:
為什麼我們會死心塌地的服從一個被我們稱為「領導」、「皇上」的人?而為什麼我們願意為這個領導犧牲一切?而當領導做出了與我們價值觀截然不同的決策時,我們又該堅持這份忠誠到什麼時候?
赫伯特從多個面向深入一個已經很複雜的故事架構,試著在這些角度裡解釋他對於現實社會議題的論述:如同他曾批評劃地為王的美國邪教教主吉姆瓊斯,瓊斯讓自己的 900 多名信徒集體自殺,釀成震驚社會的「瓊斯鎮慘案」。
《沙丘:救世主》的故事發生在《沙丘》的 12 年後、而下一本小說《沙丘之子》故事發生在《沙丘:救世主》的 9 年之後 、再來的第四集《沙丘:神皇》發生在《沙丘之子》故事的 3,500 年後……乃至第六集《沙丘:聖殿》結束為止,這六本由法蘭克赫伯特撰寫的《沙丘》系列小說,講述了超過 5 千年的銀河歷史,赫伯特的創意從有形的社會文化與動植物設定,延伸到形而上的意識、概念、生死等等議題。
儘管我們早在第一集的《沙丘》裡,就見識到保羅因為香料而啟發的超能力有多麼驚人:他可以看到無數個尚未發生的未來、他甚至可以心念一動就改變自己身體的分子結構。但如果讀者因此感到驚訝,那他們驚訝地太早了:
《沙丘:救世主》出現了可以保存人類意識到永久的生化技術,甚至可以將已死之人的意識轉存到生化人身上,使他永遠地「活下去」;而《沙丘之子》裡,意識與肉體甚至可以穿越物種的隔閡,讓渺小的人類與巨大的沙蟲合為一體,成為能有自由意志又刀槍不入的宇宙最強存在。
《星際大戰》、《冰與火之歌》、《時間之輪》、或是《戰鎚 40,000》這些由《沙丘》啟發而成的後世作品,都像是《沙丘》系列這條宇宙長河裡的一瓢江水而已。沒有小說能像這個系列涵蓋了這麼多的題材與議題,而且這個系列的六本小說,每一本都在顛覆或超越上一本小說的格局,更大、更壯觀、更虛無飄渺,它絕對能挑戰讀者想像力的極限,但另一方面也向讀者展示了人性的極限:
《沙丘》系列展示人類的多樣情緒,而後分解與剖析這些情緒,將它們放進時間長流之中,看看這些能夠操控人類做出各種舉動的情緒,在時間無情地沖刷之下,如何變質、衰退、轉化成新的樣貌。
我們曾經相信的愛、信任、與忠誠等等信念,也會在錯綜複雜的情節裡,合情合理地轉變成我們認不得的模樣。有人說,偉大的小說最終都會碰觸到佛家思想,而在《沙丘》系列裡,無論是多邪惡的詭計、多正直的信念、多麼難以割捨的愛情與親情,最終都如佛家說的:「如夢幻泡影、如露亦如電」、「照見五蘊皆空」。
就像我們開頭提到的,「彷彿最終身心都變成了一粒砂」,閱讀《沙丘》系列很難不感受到如墜五里霧中的漂流感。赫伯特一定清楚讀者在閱讀過程中可能陷入的無助感,他在《沙丘》裡留下了這句話,彷彿在安慰讀者們不用擔心,既來之則安之:
「你不能透過停下整個過程去了解這個過程,而必須隨著過程的推進繼續理解、必須繼續參與、並隨著過程進行下去。」
隨波逐流、隨波逐流。你會在電影《沙丘》裡持續聽到這句台詞。
赫伯特對自己設計的世界觀與文字功力的自信心可見一斑,而事實上也真的是這樣,第一次閱讀《沙丘》系列小說時,未必能夠很清楚每個橋段裡真正想要傳達的意義是什麼——你必須了解,要描述一個能看透未來、過去、與無數平行宇宙的角色的心智是多麼困難。
但是,後來的劇情幾乎都能穩穩地接住掉隊的讀者,至少讓妳清楚這些橋段之間的因果脈絡,並且依然讓妳得到該有的感動或心碎。
多年來,台灣讀者一直沒有辦法親近這套赫伯特的曠世巨作:從來沒有台灣出版社出齊全六本的《沙丘》系列——我還記得拿著《沙丘:神皇》原文小說一個字一個字查字典的痛苦回憶。
如今,這片宇宙沙漠終於蔓延到了寶島,這當然是讀者之幸:因為我們有了一個放飛自我的機會。這片沙漠正在招呼著你,吸引你進入一片浩瀚的未知,引誘你拋開所有成見(還有大把時間),陷入、沈迷、困在《沙丘》系列的上下 5 千年的歷史之中,然後樂不思蜀、然後想到赫伯特沒寫出第七本《沙丘》就離世,不禁哀痛莫名。

我覺得沒有人能把《沙丘》說得清楚,事實上也不應該說得清楚,那片沙漠的全貌,需要你自己感受……所以本來我很抗拒寫的XD
我昨天說過了,我覺得電影拍得很好。但是,電影畢竟是導演丹尼維勒納夫的一種「個人解讀」,這片沙丘該長成什麼樣子,在你的腦海裡可以是完全不同,而這是你翻開書頁就能在內心開始構建的工程。
這套六部曲終於出齊,第一集書皮是電影海版,堤摩西柴勒梅德無論過去有多帥,這部電影裡他又帥出新海拔。不過,小說原本設計的封面也很美,而這層電影海報書皮是可以自由取下的,一書雙封面的設計真是感恩感謝。
不過我自己私心覺得,儘管六本大書擺在書架上真是氣派氣質,但是、但是、《沙丘》超過七百頁的厚度真的是折煞手腕,我還是推薦看電子書比較環保……不是環保、是「體保」、保護您的玉體。而且誰能帶著七百頁上山下海呢?我用一隻手機,就能把沙丘星帶著走、帶到馬桶之上(每次都用馬桶舉例實在是……
《沙丘》是大王最喜愛的長篇(實在太長了)科幻小說系列,6年前大王第一次寫,陸陸續續地寫到現在,內容乏善可陳,實在沒把握能把諸君推落深坑,可能還讓各位誤會一直洗版。現在終於有機會,大家可以親自品味這個系列,看看大王說的是不是又過譽了🤣。

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?
病毒肆虐年半有餘,全球確診者逼近一億八千萬,枉死者近四百萬,堪比戰爭規模,望眾生發慈悲心、令往生者安息、善待其他物種、平等有情眾生。地獄本空,唯妄念生起一切羨慕嫉妒恨而地獄現前。盡以此書作為世界新冷戰獨裁者、超限戰者、暗網駭客、陰險狡猾冷嘲熱諷落井下石者之良知備忘錄矣。

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.

玉墜多肉 在 范琪斐 Youtube 的精選貼文
上禮拜我的西方胃突然覺醒了,嘴饞很想吃義大利麵,但是去外面吃實在太危險了,最近不是有一張圖說,武漢一家餐館一人確診結果傳染9個人嗎?看得我頭皮發麻,所以我就叫我的專任主廚:我老公蘿蔔頭下廚煮給我吃,他也真的乖乖上超市買材料,沒想到我們最常吃的那款義大利麵醬竟然缺貨,不知道哪時候才會補,蘿蔔頭只好買番茄回來從頭熬,煮好我都餓昏了,還好我不是想吃起司,不然要等個幾年。他還跟我說,好多進口食材都找不到了,讓我開始明顯感受到這波疫情所造成的糧食斷鏈危機。
我們先說清楚喔!台灣目前不缺糧!不缺糧!不缺糧!因為很重要所以要說三遍,請大家千萬不要去囤糧,我們每個人都只有一個屁屁,也只有一個胃,甜點那個胃不算,ok?
我國農委會先前已經表示,台灣的稻米加上二期,到今年年底會有280萬公噸,我們不只防疫超前部屬,糧食部分也是超前部屬至少一年時間。台灣稻米自給自足沒問題,但世界上許多國家,包括東非和南亞在疫情爆發前,就已經陷入乾旱、蝗災和戰亂所導致的糧食危機,現在又遭受COVID—19威脅,更加民不聊生。聯合國「世界糧食計畫署」(WFP)21日就警告,全球正面臨二戰以來最嚴重的人道危機,未來恐怕出現「聖經等級大饑荒」!
「聖經等級大饑荒」聽起來超驚悚,其實就是末日等級,聖經《啟示錄》第六章描述,世界末日來臨的時候,上天會召喚「天啟四騎士」,帶來瘟疫、死亡、饑荒和戰爭,來審判人類。我們不想危言聳聽,但瘟疫和死亡,現在就在我們眼前上演,接下來恐怕就是饑荒,「世界糧食計畫署」預估,疫情可能讓饑荒蔓延全球36國,瀕臨餓死的人恐怕比病死的人還要多!
2.65億是多少人哪?換句話說就是,今年底以前,恐怕有11個台灣的人口即將餓死!離我們最近的一次大饑荒發生在葉門,當地受到內戰影響,2016年以來有至少1600萬人處在極度饑餓狀態,老百姓只能啃樹葉充飢,每天都有130個孩子被餓死或病死,是100年來世界上最嚴重的饑荒。但這次「世界糧食計劃署」預估的數字,是葉門世紀饑荒的16.5倍!
現在許多國家的人民,排隊不是為了搶防疫物資,而是為了領糧食餬口。
但病毒又不是米蟲,怎麼會把糧食吃光光?簡單來說,食物要端上餐桌前,大致會經過幾個階段:1.生產、2.加工、3.運輸、4.銷售,最後來到5.消費者手上。但這波疫情讓上游生產鏈,到下游運輸鏈,整個供應鏈統統卡住!
我們先來討論生產鏈。
世界上最大的糧食生產國,依序是中國、印度和美國,它們各自的糧食產量,超過一整個歐盟的總和。但如今一國是疫情爆發地(中國)、一國是封城煞不住疫情(印度)、一國是確診和死亡人數第一名(美國)。
生產糧食當然需要人力耕種和收成,但各國面臨大規模封鎖,糧食產能都受到衝擊。例如中國最大的糧倉黑龍江,現在面臨第二波疫情爆發,過去每年4月底都是當地春耕關鍵期,但今年封城封路影響耕種,可能讓中國水稻、大豆產量受重創,現在還傳出,北京當局打算向美國購買3000萬噸農產品,以備不時之需。但美國的狀況也好不到哪裡去。美國食品業每年仰賴20萬外籍移工的幫忙,但位於墨西哥的美國領事館因為疫情關閉,導致工人一度拿不到臨時工作簽證,拖累糧食生產進度。
餐廳和學校不營業,採收又不合成本,農場主人只能忍痛把作物搗爛當成肥料,幾百萬噸的牛奶也全部放水流。加州過去負責生產美國三分之一的蔬菜,三分之二的水果和堅果,加州的情況就是全美的縮影。
不止農產,美國畜牧業也爆發危機!美國最大豬肉生產商Smithfield,在南達科他州的豬肉加工廠,有240名員工感染肺炎,目前無限期停業中,光是這間工廠的豬肉產量就佔全美5%。(0214)美國最大肉品公司Tyson,位於愛荷華州的豬肉工廠,也因為20名員工確診而停擺,美國肉品市場成了重災區。
我們再看到運輸鏈。
這部分我真的很有感,之前從國外買保養品,原本差不多10天包裹就會到,現在等一個月我的皺紋都出來了,還不知道漂在那個海上。大家不要以為各國宣布禁航、關閉邊界,只是讓大家不能出國玩而已喔,世界上大部分的糧食供應都是靠輪船運輸,但目前全球已經有30多個港口限制船隻進入,包括澳洲、葡萄牙、智利和阿根廷。從疫情爆發以來,已經有435個貨櫃航次被取消,我國向阿根廷訂的6船玉米,也在對方港口卡了一個多月。
運輸新鮮容易腐敗的農產品,靠的是航空貨運,但受旅行禁令影響,客機不飛了,機腹載貨量也跟著銳減,加上業者很難獲得飛行許可,空運現在變得又難又貴。
最後是各國的屯糧政策。
這就像民眾一聽到風聲就跑去賣場掃衛生紙,到處搜括口罩和酒精一樣,各國政府聽到糧食供應可能告急,當然先顧自家人。日本農林水產省就統計,截至4月中,全球已經有超過14個國家,祭出農產品和食品出口限制令。例如全球第二大稻米出口國越南,一度禁止稻米出口,後來改為配額制;泰國也一度對雞蛋採取7天出口禁令;烏克蘭實施小麥出口上限,全球最大小麥出口國俄羅斯,也宣布暫停小麥、大麥、玉米等穀物出口,一口氣禁到7月1日!我們不只一次談到全球化,當然糧食也不例外,我的稻米種得好,就專心種稻,想要小麥就去跟別國買,大家各司其職,不用勉強自己生產不擅長的東西,例如新加坡甚至有90%的糧食仰賴進口,而台灣雖然稻米、蔬菜吃個一年沒問題,但重要飼料「黃小玉」(黃豆、小麥、玉米)95%都靠進口,目前庫存只剩3個多月,萬一「黃小玉」來不了,台灣畜牧業、烘焙業恐怕被K.O.。
雖然台灣不會發生饑荒,疫情對我們的衝擊主要是食物選擇變少,頂多吃個地瓜籤飯回味童年、共體時艱,但對於很多生活在貧窮線以下的「日光族」來說,封城就等於失業,失業就沒錢,沒錢就沒食物,沒食物就容易發生暴動,是國家安全等級的問題,目前印度、菲律賓和肯亞貧民窟,都相繼發生了糧食相關的暴動或混亂事件。
「世界糧食計畫署」已經向G20喊話,要求20億美元糧食與醫療預算,外加3.5億美元,幫前線救援人員買防疫裝備,G20也達成共識,確保全球糧食供應。但疫情爆發以來,不少國家大難臨頭各自飛,全球化遭受威脅,國際組織搖搖欲墜,各國真的能攜手合作,挽救這2.65億人的性命嗎?
