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?
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。
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.

疫情爆發以來,藝術家能做的事不多,平常就閉關在家其實挺習慣,但是總想為社會做些事、幫上忙,想了半天安撫人心也許還行吧!於是另一本「地獄空」將趕在中元普渡八月初出版上市,由典藏出版社社長發心首肯出版,設計名家黃子欽操刀,附贈很多符咒給大家趨吉避凶。諸惡莫作,眾善奉行,疫情消退,平安喜樂。附上後記給大家解封後參訪這些宮廟,觀照自己的心所。全文如下:
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、鐘情黑白世界之單純,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、儒教鸞堂、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)乃至米開郎基羅(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糟屠殺,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。

本初子午線萬國 在 文茜的世界周報 Sisy's World News Facebook 的精選貼文
《謝謝台積電、郭台銘之餘,我看到的另一個場景:立法院團結阻擋採購照顧民眾足額國際疫苗.反對高端疫苗EUA比照輝瑞疫苗在美國緊急授權時全程直播》
#我們都在等國際認證的疫苗
他們下午表決了,我全身戰慄!
我不知道基於什麼因素,立法院對決需要牽涉疫苗採購。疫苗牽涉的是人命。人命關天,人命,可以表決嗎?
我不知道基於什麼科學立場,高端疫苗緊急授權的專家審查會,不能比照美國EUA當第一個輝瑞疫苗問世時全程直播,取信於民?因為那是要打到人民身上的疫苗。每個人對於自己的身體,該不該施打,都該享有自主選擇權:這是人民的天賦人權。
不是高高在上的政府的權力,也不是躲躲藏藏的專家的權力。
生命權,是所有人權項目中,最至高無上的人權。
在台灣,它們正一步步被另類威權體制,侵害了。
* 許多人不了解全球秋冬可能因變種病毒疫情再反撲,而台灣現在至年底疫苗仍短缺,這個危機多麼可怕。
即使現在疫苗已經過剩的美國,昨天已經採購Moderna 包括針對變種病毒的加強針共兩億劑:再採購即將上市以英國變種病毒研發的Novavax 疫苗一億劑。
疫苗大國尚且嚴陣以待,而我們還沈浸病毒的上世紀,解決舊病的疫苗不加購,針對變種病毒的疫苗,當成不知道。
自己自決於國際社會之外。
事實上,我們只有不到五個月的時間,可以抵擋下一波秋冬變種病毒,尤其Delta病毒。
現在各行各業目前只看到自己,使出渾身解數影響力,希望自己可以插隊排在施打疫苗優先順序。
這是人性,也是悲哀。
想活命,本來正常!
*先談台灣的疫苗短缺。去年十二月,陳時中部長對外正式宣布向國際採購國際疫苗三千萬劑:當時他對本土生技疫苗的措詞非常中肯,「希望之後,本土疫苗可以跟上來」。
許多人的記憶因此是台灣買了三千萬劑國際疫苗,包括德高望重的台大兒童醫院黃院長。
但他錯了。
今年二月,當國際因為疫苗不足鬧成一團,歐盟和英國AZ吵架,加拿大總理每天打電話興師問:加拿大訂的輝瑞BNT疫苗在那裡?
我們的政府在那一刻不是一看不對勁,趕緊再加碼國際疫苗採購,而是反向砍單少買一千萬。
*我們的政府只採購了國際疫苗,包括COVAX分配的疫苗,近二千萬:只夠一千萬人施打。宣布此政策的是愛貓,形象溫和,多數時刻低調冷靜,但也被許多熟識的人稱為冷漠的蔡英文總統。
*許多人問我為什麼?
為了高端一家公司冒台灣人民的生命危險不顧?為了尊嚴面子,不肯認錯,逆全球之勢而行?還是政府無足夠知識視野,自滿,沒有警覺心?
為什麼看到人民因害怕疫情,搶疫苗的窘境,看到一個一個死亡的人,仍然無動於衷?那些一個一個倒下的生命還有這麼多掛念,有這麼多不捨,有這麼多遺憾-⋯⋯。
無視生命之消失,需要多大的冷漠?
多大的傲慢?
多大的無情?
但蔡總統的形象向來不是如此。她必要時會展現嬌羞,教養,客套及關懷。
但她是如何坐在總統府,冷看這一切?決策這一切?無感這一切?
是否,一個人的固執及偏見到了極致,即轉化為盲目的無情?
史家將如何看待台灣這痛苦煎熬的一個月?
我不知道。
但我看到人民從期待、冷靜、焦慮、憤怒⋯⋯突然間看清了!搶!我的!我要疫苗!
我們每個人的人性當下都備受考驗,動物生存的本能,愈來愈強。
*回頭看,台灣一開始在今年二月已經佈局的疫苗政策即是:只買2000萬國際疫苗:或許我們小國無力,或許我們有錢卻愚蠢。
總之,除了自今年初不算我們向美國要的75萬Johnson Johnson (尚未到),扣除日本贈與的124萬(五月底已到的),我們政府二月佈局訂購,總共拿到的疫苗,加上今天抵達的Moderna24萬劑,六月快底了,只有117萬8104劑。
Moderna 到貨率5.6%。
AZ更慘,我們向AZ公司買的1000萬劑,只有三月初韓國到貨的11.7萬,其他自泰國暹邏公司抵達的數目是0。
AZ到貨量只有1.17%。
AZ的未來飄在空中。正如老百姓的命一樣,沒有人對自己的未來有把握。
飄如雪,化無影。
*一張表看採購疫苗數量與到貨率 https://udn.com/news/story/122190/5542084
疫苗這麼少,比黃金還少,於是警察伯當然很重要,里長伯也很重要,北農感染証明菜市場很重要,郵差很重要,物流很重要,計程車很重要⋯⋯尤其保護總統的很重要,行政長官很重要,第一線記者很重要⋯⋯經濟命脈半導體很重要⋯⋯檢察官很重要,法官很重要,銀行很重要。⋯⋯然而工具機產業不重要?國營事業台電、中油、中鋼不重要?⋯⋯民間台塑大企業不重要⋯⋯?
其實連葬儀社也很重要,因為他們必須直接接觸屍體。
以上名單,其實除了總統府等高官之外,每一個職業的風險,我們都不能否認。
但我有一個更正確的答案:
1)老人染病會死,重大傷病染病會死⋯⋯
2)所有的人都有染病風險,每個人都很重要。
人的生命權,不論他是大人物還是小人物,生命只有一次,每個人都是獨一無二的,都很重要。
不再論二月採買不足夠的疫苗,認識了這個國家原來是依特權排序生命的可悲之地,最可怕的即使慘況已如此,掌權者仍不肯承認錯誤!!也不大幅修正政策!
昨天,軍人政變掌權的泰國總理巴育向人民道歉,泰國政府採購疫苗不足:並且宣布加採購共2800萬劑疫苗:其中2000萬是BNT,500萬是Johnson Johnson 。
他的謙卑,勝過我們的民選總統。
疫情延燒至今一個半月,那麼多愛戴蔡英文及民進黨的支持者為他們主動高喊、製造、編劇了各種理由。支持者的熱情、信賴,向來無條件。
我希望蔡總統看到這些支持者對她的珍愛,是覺得責任更重大。拿起電話,直接加購更多疫苗⋯⋯如果她看到各國皆已把疫苗佈局至2022年底:她會更明白在艱困的外交環境下,我們只能夠更早買採購更多。
以往的錯誤已矣,但它應該成為經驗和教訓。
但我看到的是:立法院要求表決八月前加採購國際疫苗,包括針對青少年疫苗,孕婦需要的Moderna 疫苗,及針對變種病毒日韓美加澳⋯⋯均已下單的Novavax 疫苗,執政黨依主席總統之意志,還是全黨舉手封殺。
之後其網軍將此案揑造為要求八月底買到中國疫苗。
政治,真的,請饒了人命。
當多數立委他們的手舉起來:按下反對的按鈕時,可能代表幾百個,幾千個生命,未來還要死亡。
許多人今天看到總統終於點頭同意台積電、永齡基金會購買1000萬BNT疫苗,美國送來250萬大禮Moderna ,開始樂觀了。
人民始終是天真的,也因此是好應付的。
他們以為馬上有足夠疫苗了!夠了!
但除了美國的Moderna 250萬劑之外,正如永齡基金會執行長劉宥彤今(18)日表示,疫苗是賣方市場,不會有現貨等人決定要或不要。
她的意思是,它不會隨叫隨到,如Uber Eats。
各位很少注意國際新聞,上週泰國一看自己的王室持有的AZ代工廠兩手一攤,生產有困難:馬來西亞一看泰國AZ不出貨,兩國已早我們一步,訂了BNT輝瑞疫苗近三千萬。菲律賓之後,也跟進加買三千萬Pfizer 。
而巴倫週刊Barron 報導:輝瑞疫苗的訂單來自全球官方,訂單滿載已至2022年底。
我樂觀的估計,即使所有台積電、永齡基金會使出渾身解數,甚至什麼晶片換疫苗,BNT1000萬疫苗年底前都全部到了:Moderna 剩下450萬左右加美國贈送的250萬也都全到,加上AZ總公司(從泰國以外工廠調貨)再到300萬,COVAX機制再給我們三百萬(包括日本再捐贈),⋯⋯我們從國外購買的、拜託的,民間捐贈的疫苗,今年底有把握的頂多約2300萬。可以施打約1150萬人。
這樣樂觀的估計,加上之前已經施打疫苗的,至年底,台灣也只有再1200多萬人,可以打的到全部兩劑疫苗。
總統府或許忘了,台灣的人口是2375萬,扣除5歲以下幼兒,我們需要預購疫苗包括青少年、兒童疫苗,總數數量約4500萬以上。
疫苗至少年底前,還短少了2000萬。
遑論第三劑加強針,以防變種病毒疫苗。
事實是只要沒有足夠防護力的疫苗,我們的人民,就會永遠處在危險之中。
否則不知什麼時候,什麼地點,一個戰慄的破口,又是多少被白白揮霍的生命 !
我想告訴今天投反對票阻止採購更多疫苗的立委:台灣還有至少1000萬人,在年底前沒有國際認證的疫苗可以施打。
他們可能是你的選民,可能是你小時候和你一起嘻鬧的朋友,甚至也可能是你的親人。
黨,或是黨主席的命令,真的高於人民的命這個價值嗎?
團結抗疫,是團結起來不為人民買足夠的疫苗嗎?
我從小到大最害怕看到團結的口號。因為在那個旗幟之下,破碎的政策,破碎的社會,領導人破掉的心,都被遮蔽了。
不要告訴我團結抗疫,請告訴我們這個政府有沒有做到採購或是授權採購足夠的疫苗。
至少目前為止,我看到的是:她們共同遺棄了島嶼上一半的人民。
她為什麼要這麼做?
我沒有答案。
答案將在歷史中。
#我們都在等疫苗。
本初子午線萬國 在 繆杰工作室 Youtube 的最佳解答
大家好我是繆杰,歡迎來到繆杰工作室
今天的【杰說歷史】要跟大家分享的是
於俄羅斯發生的民主革命
俄羅斯皇帝尼古拉二世被迫退位
最終使俄羅斯帝國滅亡的二月革命
另外說一下杰說歷史以後每週都會發佈一片
關於歷史的小故事或歷史相關的影片
俄國革命-二月革命
1917年2月
在第一次世界大戰初期改名為「彼得格勒」的聖彼得堡
產業工人因食物短缺和工廠環境惡化而發動罷工
是導致俄國二月革命爆發的導火線
其實革命爆發的原因
有包括第一次世界大戰對俄國經濟的重創
以及人民對沙俄政府專制統治的不滿
所以最終爆發了二月革命
協約國-第一次世界大戰
在第一次世界大戰中,由於俄國加入了協約國一方
並且,應協約國的多次要求,為了配合西線戰事
俄軍多次主動發起攻擊
迎擊德國與奧匈帝國以及南方的鄂圖曼帝國
俄軍最初略有小勝,但面對著多線作戰的窘迫局面
遭受嚴重挫敗,例如在東普魯士輸給了德軍
工廠產量下跌、鐵路系統欠缺效率以及後勤保障極其不力
是俄國數次失利的主要原因
皇帝-尼古拉二世
二月革命爆發時尼古拉二世自任最高統帥
率領俄軍在東線作戰
他就把政府交由其妻亞歷山德拉皇后與其他官員管理
而皇后寵信癲僧拉斯普京
拉斯普京令政府充滿貪污,使內政混亂
國家局勢漸趨緊張
領導失敗以及戰術落後
同時,俄軍戰術戰法陳舊落後
軍隊領導人將私人恩怨帶入戰場
導致開戰後俄軍即遭慘敗
後來應時任英國海軍大臣的邱吉爾要求
為了配合英軍登陸作戰和緩解西線壓力
俄軍發動了夏季攻勢,遭到重大損失
人員俘虜達100多萬,國內統治岌岌可危
到了戰爭後期,俄軍有超過一百七十萬士兵陣亡
五百九十萬人受傷,逃兵者眾多
將領與軍官能力平庸,以導致整體士氣低落
某些部隊出戰時,竟然沒有充足的彈藥與其武器相配
俄國後方則有嚴重饑荒,物資短缺
基於德軍的猛攻與邊境封鎖,俄國經濟最終被拖垮
提議君主立憲(俄國議會)
擁有一些自由派成員的杜馬(俄國議會)
向尼古拉二世建議組成類似1905年俄國革命後
建立的君主立憲政府
但被他拒絕
二月革命-事件開始
1917年2月寒冬、食物短缺、民不聊生
加上經濟崩潰,大眾起義的誘因已然齊備
聖彼得堡25萬駐軍,主體是後備役部隊
當時後備役管理混亂,一個連高達1350多人
卻只有一個低級軍官管理
而忠於皇帝的近衛軍在前線
尼古拉二世下令從前線調回來25個團的近衛騎兵軍到聖彼得堡
計畫把聖彼得堡的亂軍拉出去到附近其他城市進行進一步整編
不過彼得堡市長和駐軍司令一聽騎兵要來
覺得很麻煩,而且還得準備場地養馬餵馬
嫌花錢費事
加上附近城市聽說要把亂軍拉來自己這裡
肯定是花錢還要擾民,所以就各種不配合
也就形成了中央與地方的分割
政府公文互相寫了好幾個月,推卸責任
導致調近衛軍入首都的事情始終無法啟動
3月3日,聖彼得堡的大型工廠普提洛夫工廠工人宣布罷工
罷工工人被解僱,引致其他工廠的罷工
期間有些示威者要求增加麵包供應
雖然示威者偶爾與政府軍隊有衝突
不過在第一天沒有出現死傷
在往後幾天,罷工工人一同集結在聖彼得堡,局勢越來越緊張
3月8日,示威者為慶祝國際婦女節
而舉辦一連串聚會與集會並漸漸把活動政治化
參與者首次使用在俄國使用較為令人敏感的口號
例如「反對戰爭!」與「結束專政!」等
罷工演變成對政府的不滿
最後二月革命終於爆發
在這次警民衝突,引致雙方互有死傷
示威者準備好武器,搶掠警方的總部
3月10日,尼古拉二世派出一大隊士兵掃蕩該城
士兵最初擁護政府,殺害了不少示威者
由於俄羅斯工廠的工人
相當多都是舊禮儀派教徒出身
所以同樣信奉舊教的哥薩克軍隊
幾乎沒有參與過鎮壓工人遊行的事情
因為怕因為宗教的問題會使
哥薩克軍隊支持示威者所以當時有幾個哥薩克大首領
特意請求尼古拉二世不要把哥薩克部隊投入鎮壓工人遊行
但後來事實哥薩克軍隊開始襲擊警察導致秩序大亂
加上有九萬後備役駐軍攻擊監獄和政府機構
孟什維克派(和平派)與布爾什維克(激進派)
孟什維克為著給人民撐腰,邀請工人在2月27日
在國家杜馬開會那天到杜馬所在地塔夫里達宮附近舉行和平示威
要求杜馬建立一個使「人民有生路」的政府
希望這樣可以提高杜馬的聲望,對沙皇施加壓力
而布爾什維克堅持反對孟什維克的路線
由於沙俄政府的迫害
當時以列寧為首的黨中央處在國外
稱【中央國外局】
黨在國內的工作由【中央俄羅斯局】領導
1917年初,黨中央俄羅斯局通過決議
指出到杜馬去示威遊行必然模糊工人階級的革命意識
隨後布爾什維克彼得格勒委員會散發傳單
號召工人在
「打倒沙皇君主制度!」「以戰爭反對戰爭!」「臨時革命政府萬歲!」
的口號下舉行示威遊行
結果,在2月27日
有9萬人參加罷工
並且大部分工人都跟著布爾什維克走
在涅瓦大街(布爾什維克)示威遊行
而去塔夫里達宮(孟什維克)的寥寥無幾
布爾什維克黨主開始主導
在布爾什維克黨中央俄羅斯局的領導下
激進群眾進一步聯合起來
3月3日,彼得格勒普梯洛夫廠
衝壓車間的工人舉行罷工
要求提高計件工資和召回被解僱的工人
不過廠方無理拒絕
且以高壓手段進行威脅
並宣布不定期歇業
在這個廠的工人中已有重大影響的布爾什維克黨組織
立即領導工人同廠方針鋒相對地鬥爭
罷工擴大到整個普梯洛夫廠
3月7日,按軍管當局命令,普梯洛夫廠大門緊閉
工人無法入內,便成立罷工委員會
並決定請求其他工人支援
衝突進一步發展為全市性的鬥爭
1917年3月12日,成千上萬的工人向彼得格勒市中心行進
由於布爾什維克的宣傳、組織工作
軍隊中的大批士兵轉到革命的隊伍中
早上六點,沃倫禁衛團教導隊士兵起義,殺死教導隊隊長
然後上街,開往附近的普列奧勃拉任斯基團和立托夫斯基團
把這兩個團的士兵聯合起來
整理好隊伍後,起義兵團繼續同工人會合
不過駐維堡區的莫斯科禁衛團教導隊進行反抗
阻止士兵參加起義
起義士兵和工人衝進營房
擊斃教導隊長,奪取了武器,武裝了工人
工人和起義士兵奪取了兵工總廠和炮兵總部
繳獲4萬支步槍、3萬支手槍和大量子彈
布爾什維克帶領群眾向監獄衝擊,釋放了政治犯
獲得釋放的布爾什維克立即奔向工人區,參加戰鬥
軍隊參加起義的比例越來越多
據統計,軍隊參加起義的在3月11日晚還只有600人
12日早晨增加到10200人,中午增加到25700人,晚上則達66700人
在短短的二十四小時內就迅速集結,使沙皇政權根本沒時間反應
1917年3月12日晚
沙皇的大臣們在瑪麗亞宮開了最後一次會
但很快就被逮捕了
尼古拉二世企圖從前線調回軍隊來彼得格勒鎮壓起義
但是,彼得格勒附近的軍隊已經起義
沙皇的討伐隊被阻攔在半路
整個首都已經掌握在起義人民手中
1917年3月12日
布爾什維克黨中央委員會(經黨中央俄羅斯局討論後)
以傳單形式發表了《告全體俄國公民書》
宣告沙皇制度垮台
首都已經轉到起義人民手中
指出工人和革命軍隊的主要任務是建立民主共和國
沒收地主土地,實行8小時工作制
聯合各交戰國人民制止戰爭
這份宣言曾在彼得格勒廣為傳播
在工人和士兵的集會上宣讀
是確認布爾什維克在二月革命中的領導作用的見證
沙皇返回彼得格勒
此時名義上皇帝尼古拉二世是因為彼德格勒的示威
而搭乘火車回到俄國以便維持大局
但沙皇根本還沒意識到嚴重性
加上他返國的真正原因不只於此
主要是因為他的子女們染上麻疹
包括他的唯一兒子阿列克謝皇太子
因為這樣皇帝返回該城市附近的普希金市沙皇村陪伴太子與公主們
不過,當他到達目的地之時
迎接他的將領都異口同聲勸他退位
無奈之際3月15日
尼古拉二世宣布與他的兒子退位
並提名自己的弟弟米哈伊爾大公繼承帝位
但是,由於彼德格勒內的所有軍隊站在示威者的一方
大公也很清楚並在3月17日拒絕登基這個爛攤子
因此俄羅斯帝國就此滅亡
從1917年2月28日開始的的二月革命推翻皇帝後
俄羅斯成立俄羅斯共和國(臨時政府)
二月革命推翻了統治俄國長達300多年的羅曼諾夫王朝
結束了沙皇統治制度
由人民成立了臨時政府
但資本與無產的競爭才正要開始
隨後形成兩個政權並存的局面
其實二月革命並沒有從根本上解決俄國的社會矛盾
卻同時也為之後即將到來的【十月革命】奠定了基礎
接著就是十月革命的事情了
想看第二批革命者批評臨時政府以及之後的發展
