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?

謝謝網友施瑾純拍攝分享她收藏的《新里見八犬傳》電影特刊,此片於1986年9月25日在臺灣上映。
1983年12月10日在日本首映的日本電影《新里見八犬傳》原片名為《里見八犬伝》,乃改編日本作家鎌田敏夫所著的神怪小說《新里見八犬傳》(新・里見八犬伝),深作欣二導演,鐮田敏夫、深作欣二編劇,藥師丸博子、真田廣之、松坂慶子、千葉真一主演,角川映畫、東映製作,東映發行。
該片主題曲《Satomi Hakken-Den》(里見八犬傳)是一首由美國歌手約翰歐班諾(John O'Banion,1947-2007)演唱的英文歌曲(Joey Carbone 作曲、Kathi Pinto 作詞),旋律優美、歌聲動人,後來此歌在臺灣受歡迎的程度甚至凌駕電影本身。
一部東方色彩濃厚的電影卻用了英語抒情歌曲當作主題曲,這在當年算是創舉,亦深深影響往後日本影視作品的音樂風格。
我國在1972年9月29日和日本斷交後,即全面禁止日本電影在臺灣地區上映,之後,為促使日片能重返臺灣市場,日本映畫製作者聯盟積極接洽我國新聞局及本地片商,並自1980年起,連年參與金馬影展;終於在1984年1月,新聞局同意專案進口《望鄉》、《砂之器》、《二百三高地》和《老師的成績單》等4部日片。
1986年,《新里見八犬傳》亦透過「專案進口」安排於教師節檔期在臺灣上映,當時片商特地邀請電影主角藥師丸博子和真田廣之於9月25日來臺進行宣傳,成功炒熱話題,於是片商將上映日期從原本排定的9月27日提前兩天在二人抵臺日上映,首個週末票房十分亮眼,後來還登上1986年度臺灣地區電影票房第四名,當年票房前十名如下:
1. 眼鏡蛇(美)
2. 遠離非洲(美)
3. 天下無敵-洛基第四集(美)
4. 新里見八犬傳 (日)
5. 七寶奇謀(美)
6. 出神入化(美)
7. 英雄本色(港)
8. 捍衛戰士(美)
9. 錢坑(美)
10. 警察故事(港)
以下是幾篇發表於1986年9月的《新里見八犬傳》相關新聞報導:

新里見八犬傳 獲普遍級過關
【台北訊】利台公司與吉時公司,昨天赴新聞局繳納兩部日片進口標金,共兩千零一萬元,並取得進口兩部松竹公司影片的配額證明。另外,首部送檢的日片「新里見八犬傳」稍事修剪,以普遍級通過。
新聞局電影處昨天表示,利台與吉時兩公司,分別繳納一千零一萬元與一千萬元,各取得一部松竹影片進口配額。
兩公司昨天表示,將進口老少咸宜的影片,以肆應各地市場需求。
昨天,「新里見八犬傳」送檢,少量砍頭和噴血畫面被剪,女主角藥師丸博子沐浴畫面則因片商允諾以噴霧處理,未予修剪,影片列普遍級過關。

藥師丸博子‧真田廣之 本月下旬來華會見影迷
【台北訊】日本橫跨電影、電視與歌唱界的玉女紅星藥師丸博子,可望於本月下旬,偕同國人熟悉的動作派影星真田廣之及日本東映公司社長岡田茂,來華宣傳她主演的電影,並且答謝我國政府再度准許目片專案進口。
藥師丸博子一行是應以兩千兩百八十八萬元高價標得日片東映配額,進口「新里見八犬傳」的中國育樂公司邀請來華。中國育樂早在進口「新」片時,即透過東映,表達邀請誠意,但因藥師丸忙於拍攝新片「紳士同盟」,無暇分身,一度婉謝邀請。
最近,經合作拍攝「紳」片的東映公司多方幹旋,藥師丸已首肯撥出一至兩天空檔來華,但是確切日程尚未決定,據悉應在九月二十五日前後。
現年二十一歲的藥師丸博子主演影片,雖不曾在國內映演,但經由坊間錄影帶、書籍和期刊等媒體介紹,是國內不少年輕人心目中的偶像。
現年二十五歲,臉龐俊美,身手矯健的真田廣之,先後曾與港星合作過「龍之忍者」和「皇家戰士」兩片,另外,去年亦曾有日片「魔界轉生」在國內映演,票房都不錯,在華擁有不少影迷。
藥師丸一行來華,預料將掀起一陣影迷熱潮,中國育樂擔心屆時影迷熱情過度,不慎造成傷害,正猶豫是否安排她們隨片登台,與影迷作面對面的接觸。
目前,國內電視台不准播出日語歌曲,中國育樂計畫安排藥師丸一行上電視,演唱「新理見八犬傳」的英語主題歌曲,讓藥師丸透過電視和影迷見面。
【本報記者藍祖蔚特稿】預定本月下旬來華的日本三棲紅星藥師丸博子,將是近十五年來訪華日本藝人中,知名度及地位最高的明星。
藥師丸博子主演的電影並未在國內放映過,但是透過地下錄影帶、錄音帶和流行娛樂雜誌的推廣,藥師丸堪稱是當前最受國內年輕一代崇拜的明星偶像,她的照片和海報都為青少年男女爭相蒐集、張貼。
藥師丸博子十三歲就進入電影圈,處女作是與高倉健合演的「野性的證明」,但要到「水手服與機關檜」推出後,才一躍而為日本青春偶像。
從影八年,藥師丸總共主演十部電影,總營收達兩百五十億日圓,是日本影壇十年來無人可比的搖錢樹,但是藥師丸一直堅持「精簡少產」的原則,平常用功讀書,拍片都利用寒暑假空檔進行,目前她在日本玉川大學專攻英美文學。
今年下半年,藥師丸將完成「紳士同盟」和「滿月」兩片,另外,還將主演電視劇「太閤記」;唱片方面,她六月份推出的「花圖鑑」專輯唱片至今依然暢銷,當紅得令的程度可見一斑。
藥師丸不久前脫離一手捧紅她的角川機構,自己開公司當老闆,目前正與東映合作拍攝「紳士同盟」。本來她堅持拍戲中,演員要專心敬業,而婉拒來華邀請,後來,合夥人東映多方遊說,才首肯撥出一至兩天空檔,這份執著精神正說明了藝人成功的原因。

專案進口日片將推出 廣告宣傳有嚴格規定
【台北訊】專案進口的日片,選在教師節檔推出第一部片子,製作單位對日片今後的宣傳促銷活動,仍根據日片處理三原則處理。
目前片商上片前的促銷方式,以在電視上打預告或安排演出採訪,順便在電視節目露面。新聞局廣電處說,日片演員欲出現在在電視節目,應依廣電法先將基本資料報局核備,同時在節目不得演唱日語歌曲或以日文交談,應以華語為主。
目前於在電視上出現的電影廣告片,僅准以靜態圖卡表現,且內容不應涉及日本文化、文字、日文字幕,並配國語播出;而日片也規定不准作為「電影介紹」之類節目的報導內容。
即將上片的「新里見八犬傳」,目前第一支在電視上播出的預告帶已領到准播證,完全以圖卡處理。而女演員藥師丸博子來華,將上「黃金拍檔」,主持人張菲打算以中式英語對抗日式英語,展開溝通。
但因專案進口日片尚有五部未推出,高價標得日片配額的片商對於電視、電影處理「日片原則」的不一致,都頗感惶恐,正向有關單位反應,希望專案進口日片能比照其他中外電影處理。

成龍 藥師丸出馬 中西片商一陣騷動
教師節票房 龍虎狗志在必得?
【本報特稿】電影圈這陣子流傳一句笑話:今年的教師節檔是「龍虎狗」的天下。一般認為,在成龍年度代表作「龍兄虎弟」與藥師丸主演的日片「新里見八犬傳」兩部聲勢浩大的片子夾攻下,同檔的三部國片和五部西片都將面臨一場艱苦競爭。
在國片方面,自從「龍兄虎弟」排定教師節檔在「台北」、「萬國」雙線聯映的消息傳出後,除了由朱延平執導的爆笑喜劇「頑皮家庭」決心背水一戰,依照原計劃在「今日」和「新世界」雙線聯映外,「大世界」和「中國」兩條院線幾經斟酌,最後決定採取犧牲打策略。
「大世界」院線原打算以已故諧星許不了舊作「大人物」上陣,然而前兩天又推翻原意,改以社會寫實片「浪子與舞女」墊檔。
港產殭屍片「靈幻祖師」兩度送檢被打了回票,使「中國」院線不得不臨時換片,推出香港永佳公司出品的學生片「十六歲正點」。
據國片業者分析,成龍主演的「警察故事」票房近四千萬元.,而成龍遠赴南斯拉夫拍攝的「龍兄虎弟」比「警察故事」娛樂性更高。
西片方面,日片「新里見八犬傳」中途插隊,不但使原已排定教師節推出的「美國祕密武器」因戲院被「新」片搶走而被迫更換上片檔期,也使本屆坎城影展最佳影片「教會」臨陣退縮,改以成本較低的溫馨勵志片「屋頂男孩」上陣。
美商八大公司出品的學生片「紅粉佳人」、諷刺喜劇「家有惡夫」、動作喜劇「在蘇俄吃癟」和科幻片「外星人」按原計劃出片。
據美國「綜藝」報的票房數字顯示,這四部西片在全美映演時票房皆在四千萬美元以上,其中「家有惡夫」在美已進入第十一週,票房已達七千萬美元。
大多數西片商預測,諷刺喜劇「家有惡夫」的劇情不落俗套,演員頗具喜感,或許會爆出冷門,與日片打成平手。
然而,由「新里見八犬傳」提前兩天上片,觀眾反應不如預期熱烈的情形來看,教師節檔西片未必全無還手之力,至少西片的勝算又多加了一點點。

教師節檔首日票房 龍兄 八犬各領風騷
【本報訊】昨天教師節檔首日電影票房,港片「龍兄虎弟」勢如破竹,幾乎場場客滿,日片「新里見八犬傳」在新上檔外片中鋒頭最健。在「龍兄虎弟」幾近一面倒的票房強勢下,喜鬧片「頑皮家族」賣座冷清,已映演一周的「瘋狂大家樂」成績尚稱平穩,「人工呼吸」未見創新,賣座平平。
新上檔五部西片,「紅粉佳人」、「家有惡夫」、「要蘇俄吃癟」、「屋頂男孩」和「外星人」皆抵擋不住日片「新里見八犬傳」熱潮,賣座平平。

噓……
天空墨黑,厚雲沒星。手錶上指針是凌晨二時,大部分人已熟睡就寢,街上一片寂靜,黑暗滿佈街角,昏黃街燈,照得人睡意濃濃。
嗞嗞……
機器的轉動聲卻在深水埗福華街,一排關閉的鐵皮小排檔叢後,一間鋪頂上書「坤記士多」四個大字,在鐵閘縫中透出幾扇白光,聲音就從這製糕工場發出,訴說着眾人皆睡我獨醒,明碼實價的起早摸黑,辛勤的一天就從這嗞嗞作響揭開序幕。
「由晚到朝,由早到夜,循環不息,兩三點鐘起身開工磨米,做埋洗埋嘢賣埋,兩更人,收埋鋪夜晚八點幾,年中冇息休㗎!不過唔緊要,慣㗎啦!」半頭白髮的傳永祥一口沙啞地說。
傳永祥是坤記老闆和掌舵人,64歲,對這數十年如一日的辛勞已司空見慣。還有弟弟傅永康,三個協力的阿哥阿姐夥計,同時在凌晨開工,默默無語。守在四五十度高溫的火爐邊,人人揮汗如雨,各佔各崗位的忙着磨米、抽出抽入竹筲簊、提上提落重甸甸的石頭壓漿,誰也沒注意到這百忙的街外上一絲靜態。
咔嚓……
一手拉開了店面的鐵閘。時為早上七時許,深水埗地鐡站B2出口旁,這不過百呎,80年代士多的舊模樣,汽水、香煙、啤酒、土炮……,老士多的產品。然而主角是陸續放到店門當眼處的各式老糕,白糖糕砵仔糕芝麻糕紅豆糕……琳瑯滿目,吸引途人。連銷售也數十年不變。現時外面的糕都早已包裝好,這裏卻依舊即切即放磅上秤重量,再入小袋給客,這樣的動作常惹客人投訴慢。
「件糕幾重就收幾多,冇呃秤,夠均真!幾廿年都係咁,冇變過,舊時啲人冇投訴㗎!」
隨時代變遷,深水埗生活改變了,舊的事物正在消失,他仍竭力保留這裏的一點一滴。分毫不動,緊握着舊。
「我都後生過,輕佻過,試過變新,錯咗一次,唔可以再錯!」像他的白糖糕,水靈模樣,心眼兒透亮,會有點調皮。他也曾稚氣未脫,違反父旨,背叛自己,陷於迷惘,卻終歸是貼心的。還不忘父訓:「做人做生意要對得住天地良心。」
一度無心之心,使他念茲在茲,謹遵此宗旨,勤懇守着,天荒地老。縱使父已逝,精神卻長存。
父技藝恭謹以待
嗯……
閉目沉思的他,想起父親,思緒如泉湧。他祖籍順德,鄉下作為魚米之鄉,河澤廣佈,水域通達,適於稻米生長。賦予了製作米糕的創造力。選粘米、糖、水這些家常材料製成的白糖糕、砵仔糕等,是稻米變身的傑作。
看來簡單,實際上製作十分繁瑣。父親傳承的技藝,他不怠慢,淘米、浸米、磨粉、壓水、和餡、發酵、灌籠、水蒸,做足八道工序,糕才爽香可口。
滴噠滴噠……
磨米的滴水聲,回應着石頭壓印米漿滴出的米水聲,格外清脆。他將用半新舊的泰國粘米按比例混合,浸泡一晚軟了的米放進磨機,扭動水喉,米粒漸研磨成漿,奶白的水柱細細流進布袋。紮好裝滿米漿的布袋,然後抬塊大石把米漿重重壓着,待水分全部流走,壓成半乾濕的米粉糰。以壓乾的米粉糰上秤,斤両才準確。
「用磨米壓出嘅米漿嚟蒸糕,啲糕有一種膠質,特別煙韌。」他一時忙着調校不同糕點的糖水米漿,這個要加黑芝麻漿,那個要放紅豆……一時又要磨糯米粉,做煎堆、包茶果。磨米機在一邊動,他也像機器一樣,沒有一刻停下來,多磨人!
最不容易是順德獨有的白糖糕,壓成的米粉糰,加入糖水搓勻,擺放到晚上,粉糰不停發酵,晚上變「老種」,又配搭新加了糖的米粉糰去,再發酵到第二日才蒸,往而復來,日日如是。白糖糕好不好吃?還是靠發酵。米與糖水的比例怎樣?發酵時溫度如何?全靠他拌和米漿時,一雙巧手去感應。
將發了酵的米漿倒在竹箕上,拿去蒸。「蒸起咗啦!蒸起咗啦!」隨着他揭開蒸鍋,熱氣上升,夾著帶酒味的甜米香,一股複合香氣撲面而來。剛蒸好的白糖糕白嫩蓬鬆,密密的小氣孔如同蜂巢一般,光滑剔透。嘗一口,軟滑爽口,甜甜的滋味帶着剛出爐的暖意在舌尖化開,口感綿密帶韌勁,微微似米酒的香氣,意想不到的清新吸引。
家傳秘方不易來
呼……
他大力地呼出一口煙圈。這個做糕的家傳秘方,是寶貴的經驗及睿智,都是他的父輩,順德人一代代口耳相傳下來的結晶。最初,也與一口煙有關。
「我老竇叫傅坤信,戰前喺順德嘅茶樓打工學整糕,佢個師傅做嘅白糖糕爽彈細膩,點樣整?佢就教啲唔教啲。不過呢個師傅係食大煙嘅!」
食大煙,即抽鴉片,當年是合法的,很平常,但價格高昂,普通打工的吃幾遍可花掉一個月人工。他父親知師傅有煙癮,出錢請食,期望師傅上足電,會過招教他。這樣的討好非一推即就,師傅一次不教、兩次不教,直到第八次才教少許。之後不斷請食,師傅才像擠牙膏般逐少逐少地教。
「請佢食個大煙,嗰份糧畀晒佢㗎啦!老竇先慢慢學到做糕竅門!」到他父親成功獲知箇中秘訣,幾已傾盡家財,可謂得來不易。和平後,他父親就帶着這秘方,到香港打工。
做米糕養家餬口
依呀﹗依呀﹗
石磨在轉動,轉一圈就依呀一聲,昔時就是用石磨磨米做糕。「我老竇嗰時喺香港嘅油器白粥大牌檔做糕,用石磨磨米,憑學番嚟嘅秘方整出好食嘅糕,其他師傅都冇佢整得咁好,啲客咪叫我老竇不如自己出嚟做生意!」
1965年,他家住唐九樓,在十樓的天台自立做糕,山寨原始,做批發生意。「點知攞貨買嗰啲商戶客,好生意就嚟攞,唔好生意就唔攞,落雨唔嚟攞又唔找數,啲糕剩喺度唔通倒咗佢,我阿媽咪拎出街賣囉!」山不轉路轉,他母親挑起擔挑,秤兩隻竹籮,糕點放在籮上,到福華街、北河街沿街擺賣。那時小小的傅永祥,已跟着媽媽一起上街。
「老竇真係好勤力,佢一個人,用手磨米、石頭壓水、米漿溝糖水、發酵、入爐蒸,嗰時仲用燒柴,乜都一腳踢!」父親就靠這糕養活一家九口,逐漸做到有生意,坤記的雛形就是這樣形成。
窮人孩子早當家
鈴鈴鈴鈴……
鬧鐘響起,早上六點,傳永祥兒時最痛恨這聲音,他不情不願的起床來。「起身幫老竇開檔,之後七點幾返學,到下晝三四點放學返嚟,又磨米、搓糕,整呢樣整嗰樣,到夜晚九點,先去做功課……」
對一個小孩,體力及精神都往做糕去,上學沒精神,成績也越來越差。「整整下無心機讀書,升唔到班,咪冇讀,一路跟住老竇去做糕。」中二就輟學,這遺憾一度令他無法釋懷。
「人哋放學就去玩去踢波,禮拜六禮拜日去露營、去旅行。我禮拜六禮拜日都要開工,好辛苦架!做糕有咩樂趣?」他很矛盾,對做糕,嘴裏說着嫌棄,實則卻又留有美好回憶。「當年冇咁多電子產品,我細個陪老竇開檔有得食,又同其他檔口嘅細路玩,賣出啲糕,老竇賞我零用錢,幾開心㗎!」多年後憶起與父親一起賣糕的時光,苦中有樂,很寶貴,他特別珍惜!
他與父母漸漸做到生意,從街頭做上排檔,他的工資也多了。「嗰時未識諗,冇儲低!啲錢淨係愛嚟行街睇戲食飯,唔夠咪問阿爸攞囉!」
人迹渺意興闌珊
轟隆轟隆……
地鐵行走聲音劃破寧靜的深水埗,時為79年起地鐵。坤記被迫搬到南昌街的大牌檔。「因為唔就腳,完全冇生意,做糕生意差,搵唔到錢。」同期麥當勞又進軍香港,市民多了選擇,坤記漸被擠到邊緣去。生意不佳,令傅永祥更加意興闌珊。
「我都要支人工,飲茶食飯都要錢。做糕冇前景,都諗轉吓行啦!由細對住呢行咁耐真係厭㗎,邊至想做?當然唔想做!」常言做那行,厭那行。他放下了做糕,離開父母和弟弟。當時他考到的士牌,就去揸的士搵食。
當了的士司機,他才發現爭食的士愈來愈多。「的士多,分薄咗,難搵食,我覺得揸的士已經唔合時宜。」他只好回家再做糕去。
人心之花散落時
哎呀﹗
這痛楚的嘶喊,如被一拳激中喚醒做糕的初心。他離去而再回來,父親沒有責怪,但最終也要靠父母,他感覺像欠了一個情。這時父親年事已高,還交付給他打理。他有感傳統磨米、壓漿、發酵,花工夫又費時,生產能力低。適逢工場拆樓,沒地方磨米,他打出如意算盤來。「新時代講求快,可以用現成嘅粘米粉,節省咗磨米艱辛嘅過程,慳番唔少成本。」
有不待風吹而自行散落者,人心之花是也。人心搖蕩、人性明暗,有跡可循卻難以理解。他騙得了自己,卻瞞不到客人,有些熟客吃過,覺得不是死實實,便是散收收,味道不同了。當他面前,把糕丟進垃圾桶,這恍如大力地摑了他一記耳光﹗「我好唔開心!」
客人騙不了,一個個離去,不單虧本,父親打下來的江山招牌也搖搖欲墜。他痛過,才領會,才醒覺。「老竇曾經同我講,做生意最緊要老實,對得住啲客,如果啲嘢唔得賣畀人,等於呃人。」
痛定思痛,自此,他堅持用傳統方法,磨米蒸糕,慢慢把客挽回來。
兵戎相見終告捷
傾哐!傾哐……
電視機傳來武俠劇的刀劍聲,短兵相接,仿如與同行舞刀弄劍的惡鬥……八十年代,大牌檔人稀少,父母接受他的提議,到較多人流的福華街租鋪,他可以邊看着電視邊賣糕。
如今他不辭勞苦,店仍維持磨米做糕,果然吸客,生意滔滔。那時深水埗有不少經營糕點的行家,見其客人川流不息,不免見獵心喜。某行家到來請教,叫他傳授做糕訣竅。「老竇當年都千辛萬苦先學識,而家問一問就要教你,有冇咁便宜嘅事?況且你又喺深水埗做糕,教咗你,咪搶自己嘅生意?傻㗎!」
他拒絕了,於是行家心生一計,急遽地將其租鋪買下。「佢買咗間舖,繼續租畀我哋,遲遲唔收,等我做旺咗佢先至要返,到時接收晒我啲客,賣佢嘅糕。」
他被擺了一道,但對方有鋪佔了優勢。他覺得租鋪不是長遠計,立意要父親買鋪。機緣下他們買到隔鄰的店,即現址的角落鋪,於是搬到鄰店繼續賣糕。行家業主收回原店,賣同樣的糕品,兩家並列打對台。「大家爭,佢鬥平,佢賣五蚊三件,我一件三個半。啲客嚟買,話我貴,但一樣幫襯,因為我嘅糕好食過佢。」
對家乏人光顧,大拍烏蠅,結果結了業。「以前一直覺得老竇嘅手藝好平常,而家我知道係寶。」他深深感到做糕秘方的強悍和魅惑力,亦全憑這贏了漂亮一仗。
仍不敢須臾或忘
啪啪啪啪……
掌聲響起,在百般磨難過後﹗97年金融風暴後生意轉淡,他想到增加產品提升銷售。「試過加整老婆餅、合桃酥,同芝麻糕、紅豆糕、馬蹄糕。啲客都係鍾意食用磨米做嘅糕,麵粉做嘅老婆餅冇得留低,磨米嘅紅豆糕同芝麻糕都賣得,就繼續賣到而家。」
他將芝麻磨粉混合米漿倒進盤內,先蒸熟第一層,然後第二層、第三層,如此類推,蒸到第九層,做出芝麻糕。入口綿細軟滑,慢慢化開,不甜膩,飄散出芝麻香氣,細嚼還能感覺到點點的黑芝麻末,滿嘴生香。內裏沿用父親的磨米米漿,糕身特別柔韌有米香。
03年,《飲食男女》報道坤記,指明香港製造。「由嗰時開始旺,生意幾倍咁升。到15年攞米芝蓮推介,多咗好多外國遊客慕名嚟幫襯。」
店子紅了,親友都建議他擴大工場、增加產量。「要快就要機器生產,就冇咗手做嘅味道。」用手做糕,時間有所局限,快不得,產量不多,如白糖糕一天最多二十多底,砵仔糕一天只一千幾百碗。他斷然回絕。
「唔會大量生產!我一定唔會再犯錯!」他絕不容犯下些許錯,縱使別人不追究,自己卻不敢須臾或忘。堅持遵循父法,不粗製濫造。09年父親因年邁身故。「我會盡自己能力細心做糕。咁樣做係為咗品質,亦係為咗啲客。更大嘅意義,係為咗阿爸。」他回憶中的父親,為人正直,扛起家庭和事業,勤懇堅忍,從未埋怨過辛苦。做人忠誠,對客童叟無欺,因而儲落大批熟客。
入夜,他開啟門口射燈,照着坤記的招牌,淡淡的糕香,歷五十年而不散,讓人念念不忘,有燈就有人,延續父親的精神。

寧做小生意不批貨 西灣河老麵廠誓保質素:要維持客源唔可以偷工減料(足本版): http://bit.ly/2RvZvhl
山竹走了,香港仍然颳大風;股市不能停,搵路趕返工,賺錢「重要」過天災。西灣河有間老麵廠叫春記,口碑載道,老闆偏偏將生意愈縮愈小,每日打麵兩三種,只做零售,門市中午12點就拉閘。
行家笑春記人懶不進取;「咁辛苦做咩啫?第一,交畀人嘅貨價可能係現在賣嘅三分二;仲有,我質量可以提升多啲,做好啲;如果交畀人要淋淋聲做完淋淋聲起貨。」第二代掌門五哥樊容強心水清,腆着大肚腩哈哈哈,十足一尊笑佛。
「禾稈冚珍珠!」慕名首次來到春記麵廠的人,可能有此一嘆。幾百呎小廠躲在靜靜的興民街,附近佔了一半是車房;門面殘舊,小趟門僅夠一人通過。但見不時有客擠進來五包十包的買麵:四位老太太似小學生在起哄,「我哋平日帶車仔嚟;今日無準備,行到呢頭又忍唔住。」金蘭姊妹分別住北角、將軍澳、何文田和元朗,你買我又買。有靚女長居法國,離港之前來買麵,他朝解鄉愁。
曾經有個在美國開旅行社的熟客,叫春記做一個貨櫃的麵,拍心口有本事賣晒。「一個貨櫃?我一年都做唔到喇!一個星期我都只係做幾百斤麵。一包麵粉50磅,一個貨櫃放麵粉800包,放幾多麵我就唔知。」五哥耍手擰頭笑騎騎。
時間 磨出來的細緻
春記貨種不多,蝦子、瑤柱、魚蓉……乾麵類六七款,濕的有生麵(雲吞麵)、上海麵、雲吞皮等,每日只做兩三款補貨。五哥指出,每星期做三兩包麵粉的生麵、三兩包麵粉的上海麵,蝦子麵做到七八包麵粉,「如果你唔係自己鋪,咁樣根本唔夠皮。」
雖然貨量少,他依舊每朝凌晨五點回來打麵。為何不多睡兩句鐘才開工?「麵呢,做嘅時候要等佢(成分)去混和,我哋行內叫做『行吓佢』,放一放先轆,放一放先執,咁係最好嘅。」他晨早打好麵,弟弟樊容坤(七哥)七點多現身,順道速遞早餐,去門市開檔回來正好執麵。
身處橫街,門面欠奉,七哥明言全靠「老主顧」支持,「人哋話你嘅麵好食,證明你嘅出品受人欣賞。(做麵)回報你嘅,唔係一包麵嘅價錢。」七哥滿足道。
五哥強調:「維持到客源,就係不偷工減料。就算有靚材料,你偷咗工都一樣死。」譬如他做掛麵,人家「夾」麵一次、轆(壓)兩次;他就夾兩次,轆四次五次六次,「如果一次過壓得夠薄,條麵唔好食嘅。轆多一兩次,麵會滑溜啲。」慢工不一定出細貨,但要細貨,不得不磨時間。當中沒秘訣,行家也知,但知不等於做,尤其趕急大量出貨的。「我不是經常做,時間耐啲,無問題,慢慢做。」工序在意,客人評價五哥一樣在乎:「你賣一樣嘢出去,個客返嚟一句說話:你啲麵唔得噃上次咁樣,你就成晚瞓唔着。」
機器 取代不了經驗
有50年,春記都用蒸籠明火蒸麵、焗麵。大約十年前傳出發展商意欲收購興民街的舊樓,所以兩兄弟一直沒有更改生產設備;然而,五年前去到討價還價的階段,收購重建無疾而終。兩年前,乘着配合屋宇署的要求,他們花了三四十萬重新鋪水鋪電,廚房改了電的蒸櫃和焗爐,走進「現代化」。
「現在蒸一車麵23分鐘。以前朝早蒸到夜晚五點,執一次麵就要去蒸,之後要焗,將啲麵調嚟調去,一日搬到黑。」五哥說。
那次大裝修,舊物只剩一紮古董竹片,父親用過,今天韌性依然,好晾掛麵。竹昇和蒸籠都沒留下來,倒是夾麵機壓麵機從父親年代服役至今,一開動就嚓嚓投訴,零件換了好幾次,就是捨不得丟掉換上先進的。
機器省了力氣,但做麵仍要靠經驗,例如大部分麵款都要落鹼水,多少有別,醒鹼時間也不同,五哥製作七哥出貨都了然於胸。水分也要掌握得好,例如做掛麵只有麵粉和水,太濕麵不好吃;太硬,麵就易斷易碎。所以,打麵前,要磅準水量,「如果你斷估倒水下去,多時加粉,少時又加水,加來加去,打麵桶愈打愈熱,麵就放唔耐。」
打瑤柱麵剛相反,成分有瑤柱汁、瑤柱蓉、蛋、麵粉、鹼水等比較複雜,最初未知濕度硬度,所以要慢慢加水,一邊打麵一邊去用指頭感受判斷,「倒水太多就死喇,你再加麵粉就稀釋咗裏面嘅材料,瑤柱味淡口咗。」
蝦子麵瑤柱麵比較受歡迎,他們每個星期都做;但掛麵就得看天時,「如果大北風嘅時候做,呢刻掛上去已經攣晒,賣相唔好;如果南風天,掛兩三日都唔乾又驚佢發毛。」打麵,並沒有一條方程式,唯有歲月造就的敏銳。
追數慘過借
春記在1965年由父親樊春創辦,1975年前搬來現址,一度是東區雲吞麵鋪、酒樓的供麵大戶,遠至灣仔也交貨;單是打麵師傅就請了五六個。五哥有八兄弟妹,除了萬千寵愛的小妹,七兄弟自小就在麵廠幫手,但繼承衣缽的只有老五和孿生細佬老六以及老七。「中學讀唔到書就跟老竇做囉!」五哥笑。
「老竇等師傅收工就教我哋坐竹昇、打麵。」七哥邊說邊回味怎樣將一塊厚厚的麵糰「坐」成薄得透光的雲吞皮。
97年老六移民波士頓,老師傅一個個告老還鄉,最後只剩下五哥和七哥兩個人。五哥回憶:「以前做生意比較困難,人哋幫襯你係好事,但數期長,周轉比較困難,你要找數畀人,夥計又要出糧。後期都係唔好喇,索性做少啲。」
「追數慘過借!」七哥搭訕。
98年五哥正式接手後,只交貨給準時出數的兩三家;四年前乾脆停止做批發,「自己賣算數」。門市就在百步之遙的西灣河市政大廈,正午12點便收鋪,客人要買麵就得移步興民街麵廠。「下晝唔開檔,因為粉麵客人通常上晝買,夜晚食飯煮餸;下晝生意額都唔夠請一個女工睇檔。」七哥道來原委。
簡單 也美
兄弟倆只差兩歲,五哥滿頭灰白,七哥無染髮也烏卒卒,完全不似59歲。
「佢以前多嘢諗。」哥哥是麵廠持牌人,打頭陣,傷腦筋。哥看弟「漏氣」,弟看哥「心急」;不過二人拍檔幾十年,早明白「如果人似我除非兩個我」,「一人少句就無事。記住,你一嗌交就散檔。」五哥笑得瞇起眼。兩兄弟都是健談之人,可是在麵廠各有專注,大多靜靜地做,任由收音機大聲播。
「我14歲開始做,現在兩個膝頭痛,痛咗幾年啦。」61歲的五哥看了醫生,說是勞損。幾十年來他日日搬麵粉、抬又濕又重麵糰走來走去,不離開崗位關節炎難緩解。七哥一樣腳痛,因為「坐喺度執唔到麵」,每日執麵,一站就是七句鐘。
「我希望65歲可以退休。」哥說。「佢四年後退休我都要退,一個左手一個右手,佢做前半部,我做後半部。」弟應。麵廠少一人都不能運作。
春記有歷史有口碑,可產量少。行家都說他兩兄弟懶,不思進取。七哥一笑置之:「錢,使到嘅就係你嘅財產;你唔用嘅就係你嘅遺產。搵到兩餐,唔係夠囉!」收工和朋友打一場波,或者在家搞吓電腦又一個晚上。
五哥點頭同意:「以前做批發一年最多休兩日,現在可以休十日八日。」自給自足,沒有交貨壓力,他整個人輕鬆了,回家飲杯冰凍啤酒,睇日劇、藍光影碟,有時煎一塊靚牛扒,已經樂透。
開心,可以好簡單。
