《「拴馬索」——念珠之功德與作用之四 - 二 》
最早我會使用青金石,也是受一位老和尚影響所及,因為這位老和尚本身就是修持藥師法門。據他所說,他是在年輕的時候在五台山受到一位中國唐密的阿闍黎傳授,因此他就持誦至今,從未停輟過,主要是因為他一生中受到藥師佛的感召極多,因此他深信不疑。他來台灣之後,自己也曾開壇傳授唐密的諸多法門,例如準提觀音菩薩、千手千眼觀世音、大隨求觀音、穢跡金剛……等,據老和尚所說,過去在中國所常住的那間廟是傳承自唐代惠果阿闍黎的傳承。惠果是真言宗極重要的祖師,惠果極小的時候就受學於不空大師的傳承,而得到阿闍黎的位階。
講到真言宗的傳承,可以源自於印度的善無畏大師以及金剛智大師,在中國之所以會普傳開來,也是由於這幾位印度的高僧,原本是奉中國皇帝指示翻譯經典,進而遭逢到旱災或有流行性的諸疫時,他們一登壇立刻滂沱大雨如注般傾瀉不已。當朝皇帝也因為這幾位高僧所顯現的神蹟,令他們信服而祈求為其灌頂也是時而有之,可見唐密在當時是連皇帝都極為重視的信仰。尤其不空大師更是受人矚目的唐密大師,唐朝的三位君王幾乎都皈命於他座下,尤其唐玄宗對於不空大師更是推崇有加,原因是玄宗當政的時候,幾乎國家在有難時,不空只要一設壇,無不感應道交,尤其幾乎只要不空主壇,皆是求風得風,求雨得雨,為此唐玄宗還特地幫不空訂製了一套紫色袈裟。中國歷代以來,都用紫做為最高規格的敬意,因此在幾次求雨的儀式中,隨修隨下的功力讓唐玄宗不覺愈發尊敬,因此乃御賜紫色袈裟一套,象徵身分的顯貴,從此之後,不空的身分自然也隨即遷喬出谷,赫奕逾常,唐玄宗還特別給予「智藏」的尊稱。由於唐密的高僧幾乎都是由皇室所供養,因此一般平民百姓無法承襲法脈,所以在唐朝的時候唐密是只限於皇親貴冑所能修學的法門。
唐密究竟有多厲害,根據早期傳授我穢跡金剛的老和尚所言,過去的穢跡金剛真言曾經被隱藏十二個字。因為唐代時候有許多修持此咒的神異事蹟,最後連當朝的皇帝也親聞此事,因此心想如果這麼厲害是否會影響到江山王位,所以便召請了一位專修穢跡金剛有成的僧人,沒想這一和尚一持咒,整個宮殿完全化空,只剩下皇帝和這位出家人,這皇帝心中乍驚之下做了決定,命人把原本四十幾個咒字刪去部分再傳世……不管事實如何,早先我受持穢跡金剛咒時,原本已經先持滿準提咒不知凡幾,過往在老和尚派系傳承下,凡授持此咒者起碼準提咒要先持滿五百萬遍做為加行,並且要受過菩薩戒者方可傳授,但手印不可妄傳。我所知道過去認識過一位還俗的阿闍黎,據他所說,清末在鼓山寺廟中的後山各有不同洞穴及關房,關房中所修僧眾皆是雜密行者,有的專修尊勝佛母,有的專修準提法,也有的專持大悲咒,亦有以藥師行門為主之行者,如前面所言,我所認識的專修藥師法門的老和尚便是如此。
老和尚手上的那串專修藥師法門的青金石乍看之下極為吸睛,整串念珠用深藍色的線穿過,每一顆青藍色的念珠上點綴著如星辰般黃金斑點,既神秘又耀眼,這是我初次對青金石的印象。由於受法於這位老和尚的緣故,之後便不斷地尋找有無類似的青金石念珠,但當時那個年代台灣修藥師法門的並不多,即便少數幾位知道藥師法門的修行人也大都只知拜拜藥師懺,唸唸《藥師經》,或者持誦藥師琉璃光如來聖號,更遑論顧及所持念珠。
老和尚當時說根據所修本尊不同,所持的念珠也有所講究,藥師佛既屬於東方淨土,東方又屬於金剛部,所修的主尊身體皆屬藍色,因此,若要圓滿能有一條藍色念珠會更殊勝,後來,皇天不負苦心人,終於在林森北路當時有整條街都在賣珊瑚的店中找到了青金石,青金石其實價錢也不貴,當時挑了串一百零八顆九公厘青金石當作念珠,老闆也很幫忙,從箱中打開了一整箱成串的青金石,從上百串原珠中我挑選了最藍色的念珠,這種蔚藍色為底點綴著金光閃閃的石頭,在古代是波斯帝國極為寶貴的寶石,據說蘊藏著一股神秘又無法探測的能量,那種藍就如同透悟報身佛本身的湛藍,開顯明朗中給人一種身、口、意寧靜的感覺,有時握在手中冥想時又恍如置身於浩瀚無垠深藍色的星河中……青金石念珠也曾經伴隨過我一段波瀾不驚、海晏平靜的生活,並且也感受到藥師佛不可思議的加持佛力,印象極為深刻,七〇年代在我主持的一處講堂,由於大樓他戶夜晚受祝融之災,一剎那間整棟大樓皆受波及,但奇妙的是唯獨講堂絲毫不受牽擾,不但毫髮未損更無珠破玉碎之相,當日有值班佛堂數位同修親眼所見,只看樓下火舌直往上一層樓闖進,而佛堂只有火燒過後之煙霧,人員全皆平安,這全皆仰仗佛堂所供藥師佛之威神力庇蔭之故……。(未完待續)

「地獄空」攝影集即將在八月中元節前出版,由知名設計師與攝影家黃子欽設計,內附在下二位高徒精美繪製符咒、心經版畫書籤、愣嚴咒牌、尊勝咒語...等,感恩十方大德助印,希望疫情退散,平安喜樂,後記如下:
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、鍾情黑白世界之單純,彩色照片俗世繽紛花俏做作甜美甚至比現實更現實故少拍也。知天命之年有餘,了悟人生一瞬、眨眼即逝,雖非仙人,亦無道骨,初聞離垢地生清淨心,但離華嚴「不動地」尚遠,待修持也。
2017年盛暑拍畢《巨神連線》,心律不整差點心肌梗塞向閻羅王報到,意識死神隨伺在側,人生苦短,如何了生脫死、盡斷煩惱、無所罣礙、遠離顛倒……總不得解,蒙釋迦摩尼佛開示飆淚三晝夜,聞佛法數載始知自我渺如塵埃,甚感慚愧。閒暇乃參訪名寺古剎,禮敬焚香佛陀菩薩羅漢諸神天仙王爺媽娘,台灣宮廟千奇百怪、宗派錯綜複雜(佛教、道教、一貫道、天主教、基督教、齋教、回教&大同教、儒教鑾堂、天帝教&天德教、慈惠堂&勝安宮、軒轅教、道院、理教、萬國道德會、會靈山……)、神棍橫行(依人不依法、偶像崇拜、斂財、邪淫),因歷史變遷、社會動盪、政治鬥爭、意識形態等因素導致佛道混雜,但地獄造景稀少,後專注拍攝各殿閻王、判官、陰司、獄卒、七爺、八爺乃至一切罪人,各寺造景巧妙、耐人尋味,意境乖張溢於言表,造型扭曲非常人所能塑也,然匠心獨運、自成一格,專研西方藝術數十載方知真誠樸拙最美,絲毫不輸喬托(Giotto di Bondone,1267~1337)乃至米開朗基羅(Michelangelo Di lodovico Buonarroti Simoni 1475 ~ 1564)矣。
創立於1986年的石門金剛宮風景優美可眺望北濱,雖主祀四面佛,儒釋道眾神尊也不含糊,可過七星橋解厄、繞行五百黝黑羅漢敲鑼印心、跪拜亞洲最大臥佛涅槃像,安太歲自不在話下,甲子太歲爺雙眼長出手掌印象甚深,1994年經閻羅王指示廟公建造一條肚內設極樂世界及陰曹地府之神龍,行走暗黑通道觸動感應機關,只見面容猙獰受刑者呼天搶地喊冤、身邊盡是血肉糢糊殘肢敗屍腦漿塗地,十殿閻羅各司其職、威儀攝人。新北市林口區青嶺湖北文紫祥宮包公廟則以壁面彩塑地獄浮雕獨步全台,粉嫩色彩搭配卡漫風格,尤為造型簡直恐怖到可愛透頂,該廟主祀森羅殿閻羅天子包拯(包青天),陽世冤屈者可至此參拜祭解,求破懸案者眾,逢中元普渡皆以紙紮船渡亡魂至彼岸,全台唯一閻羅天子巨像籌備中,四周環繞墓地,適合修不淨觀也。台灣首尊彰化八卦山大佛旁南天宮(1971)地府則是首座電動地府,規模精小但驚嚇度破表,略顯破敗但五光十色仍蠻凶悍,出自已故台南大道長金登富之作,而電動神明起始可追溯至1960年代北港朝天宮。倒是嘉義水上鄉白人牙膏觀光工廠「戴相府」、「將軍府」設置十殿地府出乎意料之外,乾淨亮麗、ㄧ殿ㄧ間、簡單樸實。由高雄蓮潭龍虎塔龍口入內可見全臺唯一交趾陶地獄牆面,尊尊栩栩如生,續入龍身乃進聞聲救苦白衣觀音大士三十三化身浮雕隧道,造型設色甚為古錐。高雄大岡山超峰寺入口處「西方三聖蓮池海會」(阿彌陀佛、觀世音菩薩、大勢至菩薩巨像)旁設靜態十殿閻羅(1970年代初),雖略為陳舊然韻味猶存,續往上行可抵「證菩提道-釋迦如來應化事迹」雕塑園區,一攬世尊畢生精華。如來年邁時,琉璃國王為報長期被釋迦族輕蔑之傲慢心,世尊雖三次單獨伽跌坐 阻擋大軍進攻之路,但因緣果報無法逆轉,昔日婢女所生王子瞋恨無以復加,還是滅了祖國。自持神通第一目犍連不忍無辜百姓慘遭屠殺,遂以缽盛救度五百族人,最終卻化為血水,佛言神通廣大仍不敵千百劫業力,因緣果報屢試不爽。其母死後墜入餓鬼道飢餓難耐,目犍連遂展神通救渡,但所食尚未入口皆化為赤火,佛陀囑咐農曆七月十五日僧眾解安居自恣日,於盆中設甘露美食供養十方僧眾,因此超度亡母。後世「盂蘭盆法會」乃至「水懺法會」、「瑜珈焰口法會 」皆為消業障、斷塵垢之超渡儀軌,既渡亡魂也自懺悔。
台南麻豆代天府規模宏大、造型豔麗,不但可遊十八層地獄尚可逛天堂(1979年興建,1983年開放),燈光絢爛、聲響駭人,獨自漫步宛如觀落陰、地獄走一回。先過「心頭山」、入「清心池」、進「陰陽界」、抵「交簿廳」、達「鬼門關」、遊「補經所」、探「枉死城」、行「奈何橋」,至ㄧ殿泰廣王照「孽鏡台」現造惡原形,睹抱柱、火床等小地獄。二殿楚江王開「陰查簿 」判案定奪,觀糞尿泥、餓鬼、舞池、寒冰、膿血、鞭韃、舌犁、劍葉、戟腹拋接、砧截……等小地獄。三殿宋帝王刑罰為倒吊、銅鐵刮臉、挖眼、搗樁、倒烤、吸血、穿肋、抽筋、蛆蛀等小地獄……兼遊「四生(胎、卵、濕、化)回魂府」。四殿五官王掌管腰斬、拔舌、沸湯、刺嘴、剝皮、箭樹、車崩、射眼……等十六小地獄。隨五殿森羅王豋「望鄉臺」回眸親人最終眼後觀擊膝、誅心、刀山、飛刀火石……小地獄。六殿卞城王別稱「大叫喚大地獄」,轄火牛、虎啖、噬腎、鉗嘴含鍼、釘喉、磨摧、砍頭……等小地獄。七殿泰山王為「熱惱大地獄」,窺烙手指、抽腸、頂石蹲身、油釜滾烹、割舌穿腮……等十六小地獄。八殿都市王掌管「大熱惱大地獄」兼火狗、鐵汁、鐵蛇、鋸劈斷肢、釘板、灸脊、鐵丸、磅秤……等小地獄。九殿平等王直轄十八層「阿鼻大地獄」,直透地心、內中陰森、不見五指、滿溢地漿,皆為極犯,另轄紫赤毒蛇鑽孔、夾頂、鐵鴉、針雨、蜂蠍……等小地獄。至十殿輪轉王上「觀生臺」、「轉劫所八司」(查驗司 、稽善司 、考過司 、恩怨司 、壽命司 、支配司、掌劫司 、授生司)後至「孟婆亭」飲「醧忘湯」忘盡前塵往事,依前世功德過金、銀、玉、石、木、竹六種橋樑至「轉輪臺(紫河車)」入六道輪迴轉生投胎。據《十八泥犁經》記載,人過世後七七四十九天為「中陰生」,經閻羅王審判善惡業力判定去留或懲罰百千萬劫,犯五逆重罪則墮入「無間地獄(阿鼻地獄)」永劫不復。地藏王乃幽冥教主,統轄十殿閻羅,逢三曹普渡便在各殿設「講道所」超度尚存善根之鬼魂。
人類居於五趣(阿修羅、人、傍生、餓鬼、地獄)雜居地五濁惡世之堪忍世界,犯十惡業(殺生、偷盜、邪淫、妄語、兩舌、惡口、綺語、貪慾、嗔恚、愚痴)者必墮三趣惡道。如何出「三界」(欲界、色界、無色界)二十八天?凡人無此意識,別說能破「十二因緣」(無明、行、識、名色、六入、觸、受、愛、取、有、生、老死)還滅門,更別想斷除「四聖諦」(苦、集、滅、道)集地八十一品見惑與八十八使思惑(五利使-身見、邊見、邪見、見取見、戒禁取見、五鈍使-貪、瞋、癡、慢、疑),了悟「五蘊」(色、受、想、行、識)本空、「十二入」(眼、耳、鼻、舌、意、色、聲、香、味、觸、法)空、「十八界」空,破俱生我執與分別我執、法執甚至空執,生十一處「善心所」(信、精進、慚、愧、無貪、無瞋、無痴、輕安、不放逸、行捨、不害),降二十六處「惡心所」(貪、瞋、癡、慢、疑、惡見、忿、恨、覆、惱、嫉、慳、誑、諂、害、憍、無慚、無愧、掉舉、惛沉、不信、懈怠、放逸、失念、散亂、不正知),須知善根斷盡則陷永劫輪迴、無垠轉世之苦。
地獄可能空滅嗎?若地獄空乏人間多鬼怪,地獄淨空世間何嘗非淨土?若能證空性何處現地獄?
地獄曠古來便廣泛流傳各部族間,老死生滅為自然運行之基礎、宇宙意識之核心,然今文明昌盛如咱城邦並非慾望消弭之所,惡性所及實無可根除,礙於憲法國家法律社會軍隊企業公司學校家庭團體之層層束縛不亞於十八層,乃遁於壓抑、束己情懷,暗埋心底、日久貪嗔痴慢疑怨噌會疊穢。而六塵未熄,心多妄念,妖魔鬼怪魑魅魍魎孤魂閃靈出沒於荒郊乃至人間,會靈於曠野密林以增性靈乃出世高人修煉之舉,我等凡人擅闖宛如迪士尼般之人造地獄,三魂七魄尚不足以出竅,驚邪恐怖淒厲猙獰倒滿足了自以為是的慚愧,豈不謬哉?

姚瑞中寫於2021年端午節
Postscript
I have been living recklessly in Taiwan for more than fifty years. According to Zi Wei Dou Shu (Purple Star Astrology), Tan Lang is the sole star in my house of Self. This star, which represents xxx, forms an equilateral triangle with that star Qi Sha and Po Jun on the square chart and constitutes a Sha Po Lang pattern. The pattern indicates a kind of turbulence and change, a life of wandering with ups and downs and it tells a lot about my life. After my ill-fated youth, I started from scratch and traveled around the world with exhibitions that I participated. Like a flaneur, I wandered around ruins, nature, and temples with every type of film camera obliviously. Thus, I founded the Hall of Illusion and claimed to be the master of the hall. Several times a day, I pondered a quote from the Diamond Sutra, “Everything with form is unreal.” In addition, I usually stayed in the darkroom developing film and enlarging those negatives overnight. However, I treasured the simplicity of the black and white world. The earthly, gaudy, garish, phony and pleasing qualities within colored photos make the images even more realistic than the real world. It is not my cup of tea, so I seldom took colored photos. In Confucian thought, the age of fifty marks the stage knowing the mandate of Heaven. I am now at my fifties and realize how ephemeral human life is. However, I am not an immortal, nor having sagelike characteristics. I just learned that the stage of stainless (the second bhūmi) and develop a pure mind that is free from doubt and defilement. However, I’m still far from the immovable state and need to practice.
In the summer of 2017, after filming the work Incarnation, I experienced a severe heart rhythm problem which almost triggered myocardial infarction and could have killed me. Consequently, I realized that death was waiting for me and the life is too short to figure out how I can liberate myself from the cycle of Birth and Death. I couldn’t comprehend how to be free from all afflictions and worries and how to avoid delusive ideas. I wept for three days and nights after being enlightened by Shakyamuni Buddha. Up to the moment, I felt ashamed that I failed to realize that the self is as insignificant as dust after these years learning and practicing Buddhism. Since then, I have visited famous temples and monasteries in my spare time, worshiping Buddha, Bodhisattvas, arhats, and all the deities and immortals. Taiwan’s temples are myriad with a enormous number of sects, including Buddhism, Taoism, Yiguandao, Catholicism, Christianity, Chinese religions of fasting, Islam& Baháʼí Faith, Confucianism, Tiandiism& Tian-De Teachings, Xiwangmu cult, Yellow Emperor Sect, Precosmic Salvationism, Liism, World Wide Ethical Society, séance cult, etc. Some people even claim that they can mediate communication between the deities or spirits of the dead with human beings, having their believer rely on themselves instead of the orthodox dharma or dogma and pay excessive respect and admiration for the mediums or objects, accumulating wealth through such an unfair means or even harassing their believer sexually. Due to Taiwan’s historical changes, social turbulence, political struggles, and ideological issues, Buddhism and Taoism are somehow mixed. However, there are few emphases on the concept of the hell. As I took photographs of Yama of each court, judges, wardens of the underworld, jailers, General Fan and Hsieh (the ghost escorts) and all sinners, I found few temples cleverly created hellish scenes that are intriguing, exaggerating, and extraordinary. However, the creations are unparalleled unique. I have been studying Western arts for decades and then I came to realize that simplicity makes the most beautiful works of art. These hellish scenes can even compete with works of Giotto di Bondone (1267-1337) and Michelangelo Di lodovico Buonarroti Simoni (1475-1564).
Jingang Temple Shimen District, founded in 1986, overlooks the beautiful North shore. Although the temple is mainly dedicated to Phra Phrom (the Thai representation of Mahabrahma), spirits of Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism can also be founded in the temple. The worshipper can go cross the Seven Star bridge to relieve bad luck, walk along the five hundred arhat statues and knock on the gong to affirm one’s Buddha nature. Furthermore, the worshipper can also prostrate themself before Asia’s largest statue of Buddha in Nirvana (the Reclining Buddha statue) and pacify the Taoist Tai Sui deity of the year. I was impressed by the Jia-Zi Tai Sui General that a pair of palms grow out of his eyes. In 1994, the biō-kong (the person taking charge of the temporal affairs of a temple) received a divine inspiration from Yama (the King of Hell) that he had to build a sacred hall in the shape of a divine dragon, with the interior designed according to the World of Ultimate Bliss and the Underworld. When the visitor walks in the dark hallway, they will see the tortured people (dioramas, of course) scrunching their faces and crying bitterly and loudly in excessive grief as the visitor triggers the mechanism. One will even find them in the midst of flesh, body liquid and blood, mutilated limbs, and rotten corpses. While each of the ten Yamas are focusing on their own duties, showing their sacred dignity that collect visitors’ attention. The Baogong Temple in Linkou District, New Taipei City exclusively features colorful depiction of hellish scenes in relief in Taiwan. With its pastel shades and cartoon-like style, the relief is both grotesque and adorable at the same time. This temple is dedicated to Bao Zhen (also known as Justice Bao) representing the incarnation of Yama. Living people who have been treated unjustly can come worshipping Bao Gong and receive exorcism. Therefore, many people come here for seeking to solve unsolved cases. In Zhongyuan Festival (the ghost festival), the temple will burn the Zhizha (paper craft) boat to ferry the ghosts to the other shore, which is the shore of enlightenment. The only giant statue of Yama in Taiwan is still in the making. The temple is surrounded by a cemetery, suitable for meditating on the loathsomeness and impurity. Nantian Temple (1971), located next to the Eight Trigram Mountains Buddha in Changhua, features the first animatronic underworld. Despite the small size, the animatronic underworld is intensely shocking. Though it’s slightly worn, the colorful dioramas are still brutally ferocious. The creator was the late venerable Dao Zhang (Taoist priest) Jing Deng-fu while the origin of animatronic deities can be traced back to the 1960s Beigang Chaotian Temple. On the contrary, the Whiteman Toothpaste Tourism Factory in Shuishang Township, Chiayi, features ten Yamas with individual booth. The place is unexpectedly clean and polished yet keeps a simple and modest tone. Then, the Dragon Pagoda of the Dragon and Tiger Pagodas at Lotus Lake in Zuoying, Kaohsiung, holds the only relief of hellish scenes made of Kochin ceramic. All the figures are vivid and life-like. If one goes further into the pagoda, they will see a relief tunnel of the thirty-three incarnations of the white-robed form of Guanyin (Avalokiteśvara) on a white lotus, with a lovely and interesting design. Another Hall of Yama is built in the 1970s next to the entrance of Dagangshan Chaofeng Temple, located in the Alian District of Kaohsiung. Visitors will also see three statues of the Three Holy Ones of the Western Pureland (Amitābha, Avalokiteśvara, Mahāsthāmaprāpta) which assemble at a lotus pond. Although the hellish scene looks somewhat antiquated, you may still find its previous charm. If one goes further, they will reach the sculptural garden of “Attaining the Bodhi Way: the Incarnation of Sakyamuni Buddha,” where the visitor can see the essence of Bhagavato’s (meaning the Blessed one, one of the common epithets for Buddha) life. When Tathāgata (another epithet for Buddha) was old, the king of Kosala wanted to avenge the arrogance of the tribe of Shakyas who had long despised him, regarding him as a son of a maiden. Although Buddha has sat in lotus position alone three times to stop the army from attacking his tribe. However, one can never reverse the cause and following karma. The prince born of a maiden was so furious that he eventually destroyed his homeland. Maudgalyāyana (one of the Buddha’s closest disciples), who is said to have had supernatural abilities that surpassed the other disciples, could not bear to see the slaughter of innocent people. Thus, he saved five hundred people of his tribe with a pātra (an eating utensil of Buddhist monks). Unfortunately, everything he did was in vain, those who were saved eventually turned into a puddle of blood. The Buddha said that the supernatural abilities cannot surpass the power of karma. The cause and effect work all the time. When Maudgalyāyana’s mother fell into the path of hungry ghost, he used his supernatural abilities to save his mother from hunger. However, all the food turned into fire before being fed to his mother. Later, the Buddha commanded the monks to put nectar and dishes in a basin on the 15th day of the seventh month in the lunar calendar for the monks from all directions to free his mother from reincarnation. In later times, the Ullambana Dharma Service, the Compassionate Samadhi Water Repentance, and the Yoga Collection for Feeding the Searing Mouths Dharma Service are rituals to eliminate karmic hindrance and to cease to worldly delusions. Through such practices, one can free the dead as well as confess their repentance.
Madou Daitian Temple is a magnificent and colorful temple in Tainan. Not only can the worshippers visit the eighteen levels of Hell but also the Heaven (it was built in 1979 and inaugurated in 1983) here. The lighting and sound effects are stunning and frightening. When walking alone in the space, one may feel like taking a Guan Luo Yin trip (a Taoist necromancy which leads people’s spirits to hell and communicate with the dead ones) to visit the underworld prison. Before arriving the first court of the underworld, the visitor will walk through the Mountain of Heart Summit, the Pure Heart Pond, the Frontier between the Living and the Dead Realms, the Soul Registry Hall, the Portico of Demons, the Center for Complementary Teaching of Canonical Books, the Citadel of Premature Death, and the Bridge of Vanity. When one arrives at the first court, they will see King Chin-guang, who is in charge of the court, using the Mirror of Retribution to show the earthly form of evil creatures and also witness the sub-hell of Pillar-Holding and Fire Bed, etc. At the second court, King Chu-jiang collates the register of sins the souls of the dead have committed to impose the punishments. Here, you will see the sub-hell of Excrement and Urine, Hungry Ghost, Burning Dance Floor, Ice, Pus and Blood, Whipping, Tongue-Raking, Sword Blade, Stomach-Piercing, Chopping, etc. Next, the dead at the third court, ruled by King Song-di, will receive the punishments including inversion tortures, face-skinning with steel and copper knife, eye-wrenching, pounding, blood-sucking, rib-piercing, roasting, tendon-taking, being eaten by maggots. The visitor can pay a visit to the Palace of Soul-Resuscitation for the Four Forms of Creatures (birth from an egg, birth from a womb, birth from moisture, and birth by transformation). King Wu-guan is in charge of the fourth court. There are sixteen sub-hells at the fourth court including Waist Chop, Tongue Removal, Boiling Pond, Mouth-stabbing, Skin-peeling, Sword Tree, Burning Wheels and Cart, Eye-shooting, etc. Next, at the fifth court, sinful souls are allowed to ascend the Tower of Hometown-Viewing to take a final look of their family. The visitor will witness sub-hells of Knee-striking, Heart-slicing, Blade Mountain, Flying Swords and Burning Stones, etc. The King of Bian City takes charge of the sixth court, which is also known as the “Great Hell of Screaming,” with sub-hells including Fire Cattle, Tiger-Biting, Kidney-Eating, Mouth-Poking, Throat-Nailing, Iron Mill, Decapitation, etc. The King of Tai-shan is in charge of the seventh court, the “Great Hell of Heat and Fire.” The sixteen sub-hells at this court include Finger-Searing, Bowel-Hauling, Stone-Bearing, Boiling Oil, Tongue-Removal and Cheek-Piercing, etc. Next, the King Du-shi is in charge of the eighth court, the “Great Hell of Intense Fire and Heat,” and the sub-hells including Fire Dogs, Molten Iron, Iron Snakes, Dismemberment, Steel Spikes, Burning-Marrow, Iron Ball, Scale, etc. The ninth court is ruled by the King Ping-deng. It is known as the biggest court, Avici Hell (the Hell of Incessant Suffering), which if the lowest level of the hell realm and the interior is gloomily and terrifyingly dark. Those who committed the most serious evil deed will be sent to the Avici Hell. Sub-hells such as Poisonous Snake, Brain-Removal, Crow-Gnawing, Raining Needles, Wasps and Scorpions are included at this court. After arriving the tenth court, ruled by the Great King of the Reincarnation Palace, one can visit the “Observatory of Life on earth” and the “eight bureaus of the Reincarnation Palace” (including the Bureau of Judicial Control, the Bureau of Good-Actions, the Bureau of Bad-Actions, the Bureau of Debts, Gratitude, and Vengeance, the Bureau of Longevity and Destiny, the Bureau of Familial Ties, the Bureau of the Reincarnated, and the Bureau of Birth). The sinful one will be sent to the Pavilion of Mengpo and made to drink the Soup of Forgetfulness to forget all past affairs. According to the sinful one’s merits of previous life, they will go across one of the six bridges (gold, silver, jade, stone, wood, bamboo) to the “Reincarnation-Wheel (Wheel on the Crimson River).” Finally, one is able to reborn in the six realms. According to the Aṣṭadaśa nāraka sutra ( the Eighteen Hells Sutra), after one passes away, they will enter an intermediate and transitional state between death and rebirth, known as antarābhava in Sanskrit, for forty-nine days. The being will be evaluated by Yama, who will decide if one should get reborn or get punished at the hell. Those who committed the Five Grave Offenses (killing one’s father, killing one’s mother, killing an Arhat, shedding the blood of a Buddha, and creating a schism within the community of Buddhist monks and nun who practice for attaining enlightenment.) will be sent to the Avici Hell and stay there eternally. Kṣitigarbha is the Lord of the Nether World, ruling the ten court of Hell. The lord will set up the “Hall of Teaching” at each court to salvage those sinful ones who still obtain few merits at the offering rituals.
Human beings live the Sahā world (sahāloka in Sanskrit, meaning “endurance of suffering,” a concept of mundane world in Mahāyāna Buddhism) where they share with other reincarnations (including beings of the hells, of the preta, and of malevolent nature spirits) with five turbidities (the Kalpa turbidity, the view turbidity, the affliction turbidity, the living beings turbidity, and the life turbidity). Those who commit the ten evil deeds (killing, stealing, adultery, lying, using immoral language, slandering, equivocating, coveting, anger, and false views) must fall into the three evil paths (animals, preta, and hell). However, how can one escape from the three realms/ twenty-eight heavens (including the six heavens of the desire realm, the eighteen heavens of the form realm, and the four heavens of the formless realm)? Worldly people who don’t have such an awareness cannot leave the cycle of the twelve nidanas (meaning causes or motivations), let alone eliminate the eighty-one afflictions (that have been produced due to misunderstanding regarding reality) and the eighty-eight illusions (including five afflictions of advanced practitioners, also known as five views: view of self, extreme view, evil view, view of attachment to views, and view of morality; and five unintelligent temptations: desire, anger, stupidity, arrogance, and doubt) of thought within the three realms and four Arya satyas (noble truths, including suffering, arising, ending, and path). They cannot realize that the essence of the five skandhas (referring to aggregates of clinging, including the matter of form, sensation, recognition, mental formation, and consciousness) , the twelve ayatana (meaning sense base, including six internal bases: eye, ear, nose, tongue, body, and mind and six external bases: visible objects, sound, odor, taste, touch, and mental objects), and the eighteen dhātavah (meaning compositional elements of human existence, including six consciousness, six faculties, and their objects) are the emptiness and the void. Furthermore, they cannot dispel the two reasons for clinging to the idea of the self and the attachment to elemental constructs and even believe in the two (false) tenets that that karma and nirvana are not real and that the ego and phenomena are real. As a consequence, they fail to develop the eleven wholesome mental factors (faith, energy, conscience, being ashamed, non-attachment, non-aggression, non-delusion, calmness, equanimity, conscientiousness, and non-injuriousness) and cease the sixteen unwholesome mental factors (desire, greed, anger, delusion, arrogance, doubt, wrong view, wrath, enmity, hypocrisy, vexation, jealousy, parsimony, deceit, flattery, harming, ambitiousness, stupidity, lacking of faith, idleness, being unrestrained, forgetting, distraction, non-discernment, ). One must bear in mind that once all our virtuous roots are discontinued, they will be trapped in the never-ending reincarnation and the suffering of infinite continuity.
Is it possible that the hell will be empty one day? If the beings in hell will become extinct while evil spirits inhabit the mundane world, the world could be considered as a pure land. If we could witness the nature of the void, then hell will exist no more.
Since ancient times, the concept of hell has been widely spread among all tribes. Aging, death, beginning, and end are the basis of nature and the core of cosmic consciousness. However, the prosperous civilization as our island is not a place where desire can be eliminated. It’s impossible to eradicate evil nature. Since fetters brought by the constitution, the state, the law, society, the military, corporations, schools, families, and groups are not less than the eighteen levels of hell, the mortals repress themselves, bury their feelings. Day after day, greed, anger, stupidity, arrogance, doubt, and resentment are stacking. However, since the six dust (visible objects, sound, odor, taste, touch, and mental objects) has not yet been extinguished, people in the mundane world are still full of delusions. The demons, devils, evil spirits, and the wondering dead exist in the wilderness, while only advanced practitioners with transcendent would attempt to make contact with the dead in the wasteland and forest. Worldly people like us trespass in Disneyland-like man-made hell. It is absurd and ridiculous that the hellish scenes cannot stop us from perpetrating evil deeds, but the horrific and cruel scenes yet satisfy our self-righteous shame.
The pandemic has been boiling over for more than a year and a half. The number of infected patients worldwide is nearly a hundred and eighty million, and the death toll has risen to four million, which is equivalent to a war crisis. I hope that we can all be compassionate, give peace to the dead, treat all sentient beings well and equally. The hell is innately empty; however, deluded and misleading thoughts would give rise to all jealousy and hatred and then manifest the hell before us. This book merely serves as a memorandum of conscience for dictators of the world’s new cold war, supporters of unrestrained warfare, dark web hackers, and those who are cunning and contemptuous and maltreat others when knowing they have problems.

千手千眼大悲懺法pdf 在 一頁華爾滋 Let Me Sing You A Waltz Facebook 的精選貼文
其實梅姨的電影我幾乎都很喜歡,無論早期或後期,主角或配角,喜劇或悲劇,也是最近才看完相當精彩的《讓他們說吧》,同時聊過十五週年的《穿著 Prada 的惡魔》,而於她 72 歲生日的今天,除了《時時刻刻》以外,想推薦個人非常獨鐘的兩部電影,一是 1978 年的《#越戰獵鹿人》,二是 1985 年的《#遠離非洲》,配樂都極為動人。
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Stanley Myers 的〈Cavatina〉尚在持續縈繞,優美的旋律帶著淡淡的陰鬱,有一點溫暖,有一點哀愁,緩緩渲染,緩緩滲透,彷彿喧囂之中的寂靜,熙來攘往的孤獨,如果落葉飄落、凋零會傳出聲響,這首歌也許就是幾度夕陽紅之後,山巒與森林依然在一旁靜靜垂淚的音符,飄散在歸來早已不是少年的風中昔日。在諸多經典越戰片,甚或出色戰爭片之中,Michael Cimino 的《越戰獵鹿人》長期以來一直保有獨特地位,那是勞勃狄尼洛與梅莉史翠普還在二、三十歲的模樣,然而,讓這兩位當今備受推崇的偉大演員相形失色之人,就是因此奪下該屆奧斯卡最佳男配角的 Christopher Walken。
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
一場荒唐戰役改變了這些人對於生命的認知,入伍前滿腔熱血為崇高政治理想、遠大軍事抱負而戰,回國後陰鬱安靜眼神黯淡,揮散不的恐懼持續籠罩一生,這就是戰火煙硝,有人半身不遂,有人戰死沙場,活下來反而成為最悲哀的事,被世界所遺棄,死神也不屑一顧,更看不見重生的喜悅,人人以不同經歷認識了戰爭,卻沈默了整個世代。
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
曾在這裏大聲合唱〈Can't Take My Eyes off You〉,驕傲的帶著戰利品舉杯慶祝,一如多數年少輕狂的日子,幾個大男孩可以揮霍的也就只有終將逝去的青春,情不自禁愛上同一個女孩,懵懵懂懂走入婚姻,嬉笑怒罵消磨時光,一廂情願嚷著報效國家,生活卻還是不出鎮日鬥嘴、彼此捉弄的情景,更在看似恬靜無憂的環境裡,隱約感受一股強烈到難以忽視的迷惘與茫然。一轉眼,Mike、Nick 與 Steven 三人已置身西貢戰場前線,在一個村莊不幸落入共軍手裡,那是他們第一次見識俄羅斯輪盤的生死遊戲,也是第一次把生命懸在毫無意義的賭博上,短短幾分鐘的時間理智被羞辱與恐懼淹沒,手指牽動身體每一根神經,分分秒秒窺視死亡的威脅,輕扣一次板機彷彿耗盡畢生力氣,決定自己生與死的剎那才明白,當初為國犧牲的偉大情操只是可笑的妄想,這樣的精神摧殘遠比戰死沙場還足以逼瘋人心。
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
生死交關之際沒有人會束手就死,生命的光采卻已不復見,Steven 失去雙腳,Nick 成了一個空殼,Mike 憑著堅強的求生意志回到家鄉,曾經三個好手好腳意氣風發的年輕人,再回首,僅存輪椅滑動的聲音與抱殘守缺的空洞眼神,麻木疏離行屍走肉,生存意志折磨過後接著被道德觀凌遲不成人形,恐懼、內疚,日夜煎熬,人性、情感,支離破碎。
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
景物依舊,人事已非,每個人都無法忘記過去清晰深刻的美好模樣,但回憶卻已遙不可及,依然可以想起、回味、珍惜、感動這些曾經共同分享過的青春,但青春,這份年輕人獨有的特權,也只活在回憶裡,早已屬於過去的另一個世界,遙遠而寧靜。
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
短短幾年的時光,這幾個年輕人像孩子般被遺棄,又如老人般滄桑世故,認知中的生命充滿不安、死亡與恐懼,眼前所見只有痛苦、絕望與疏離,不禁想問,世界對他們的期望是什麼?等在前方的還會有什麼?他們會變成什麼樣子?《越戰獵鹿人》無聲訴說的彷彿雷馬克《西線無戰事》第一句,「並非控訴,也非懺悔,只試圖報導一個被戰爭摧毀的世代 —— 儘管有些人得以在砲火下倖免於難」。
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
《遠離非洲》則讓人深深沉醉於老片獨有的旁白,旁白貫穿首尾,旁白起承轉合,梅莉史翠普沉靜優雅的嗓音曾為許多不受時間侵蝕的永恆故事掀開扉頁,彷彿一扇大門緩緩開起,穿透歲月走過年華,從少不經事慢慢守到繁華落盡。縱使導演 Sydney Pollack 選角時曾認為她不夠性感,若以角色詮釋而論,《遠離非洲》會是梅姨早期作品中個人最喜愛的一部,以現今角度來看依然被非洲大地的山河壯麗與兩個人的相伴雨季所深深撼動。
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
改編自 Isak Dinesen 的同名小說,同時也是作者的親身經歷,在還極為重視女性身家和名譽的年代,凱倫帶著不太流利的英語,從丹麥千里迢迢遠嫁一位在非洲開闢事業的男爵,即使他風流成性缺乏責任心,甚至沒有感情基礎,將凱倫的家產全數投入農場,在一個海拔較高之處冒險種植咖啡豆,但大半時間獨守空閨的她並不怨天尤人,踏實而堅忍、豁達又固執的個性促使她著手整頓農場,無論田裡、工廠裡、倉庫裡都能看見這個無比努力的身影,從無到有,一點一滴撐起整個家中經濟。超乎傳統女性的姿態,面對生活一切挑戰她毫無保留,不畏危險親自護送補給物資到前線,被丈夫傳染性病獨自返鄉接受治療,猛獸當前毫不猶豫衝上前去保護牛隻,沒有一句怨言,也從未瑟縮示弱,彷彿不問這條荒徑將抵達何處,一步一步走下去自會得到答案。
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
直至丹尼斯出現,那時的勞勃瑞福英姿颯爽,奔放無拘,恣意徘徊於千山萬水之間,以自己的方式打從心底熱愛非洲的一草一木飛禽走獸,對大自然展現崇高的尊重與深邃的關懷,因為萬事萬物皆美,何須擁有,一如他的愛情。丹尼斯將凱倫的優雅堅毅盡收眼底,凱倫也徹底愛上丹尼斯的生之熱烈,一起翱翔天際,一起臥看夜空,一起登高遠眺,一起徜徉大海,一起享受天地的懷抱,高空中緊握的雙手彷彿流連山頂的那對獅子,在最美的年華深深相擁,以最真誠的靈魂聲聲呼喚。
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
「人說,背上行囊,就是過客,放下包袱,就找到了故鄉。其實每個人都明白,人生沒有絕對的安穩,既然我們都是過客,就該攜一顆從容淡泊的心,走過山重水複的流年,笑看風塵起落的人間。」
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
停留是剎那,轉身則成天涯,好似白落梅溫柔的筆觸,兩個持續傾斜的自我漸漸還是失去了平衡,一個將穩定婚姻生活看得很重,希望擁有身心都真正屬於自己的男人;一個已為了這段感情不得不放棄獨來獨往的生活,卻始終還是無法割捨對自由的渴望。然而,沒有風雨躲的過,隨著命運造化弄人,結局如此悲傷如此深沉,他們只是非洲的過客,我們只是彼此的過客,有些路只能一個人走,終究會在某個渡口離散,日與月相互消長,山與水倆倆相忘,所能做的,就是盡可能謹慎的優雅的瀟灑轉身,好好道別冷暖交織卻橫亙一生的愛情、夢想與青春歲月。
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
最後,附上 2017 年這一席美麗的致詞,來自影史最偉大的女演員之一,人美心更美。
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
「但我們是誰?好萊塢究竟是什麼?只是一個匯集來自四面八方的人們的地方,我在紐澤西的公立學校裡成長,Viola Davis 在北卡羅來納一處佃農的小屋裡出生,後來才到羅德島的 Central Falls,Sarah Paulson 則在佛羅里達出生,被單親媽媽帶到布魯克林撫養成人,Sarah Jessica Parker 則是俄亥俄州一個家庭裡的第七、八個孩子,Amy Adams 的家鄉在義大利 Vicenza,Natalie Portman 則是誕生於以色利的耶路撒冷,而他們的出生證明又在哪?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
美麗的 Ruth Negga 出生在衣索比亞,後來搬到愛爾蘭,現在正坐在台下,因為演出一位來自維吉尼亞小鄉鎮的女孩而被提名。Ryan Gosling,就像所有善良的人一樣,都從加拿大而來。Dev Patel 生於肯亞長於倫敦,現在也因為主演一位被澳洲夫婦領養的印度小孩而身在此處。
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
好萊塢滿是外來者與異國人口,如果你把我們全都驅逐出去,將會只剩下美式足球與綜合格鬥能夠觀賞,但這些都不是藝術。
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
身為一位演員,最終的任務就是,進入與我們自己完全不同的人生裡,設法體會他人的感受。今年有太多太多強烈的演出,不但激勵人心也充滿熱情。其中有一個徹底讓我震驚,並非它很好,甚至毫無優點可言,但它相當有效也盡忠職守,並讓自己的觀眾們捧腹大笑。這一刻,就是一位想坐在我們國家最位高權重之處的人,竟然正在模仿行動不便記者的行為舉止。
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
而這個在公開場合之下出於本能的模仿羞辱,滲透到我們每個人的生活,因為這就如同變相允許所有人都有權利做相同的事。缺乏尊重招致更多缺乏尊重,暴力言行引來更多暴力言行,當掌權者利用自身優勢霸凌他人之時,我們全都是輸家。
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
最後一件事,有天我要去吃晚餐的路上,Tommy Lee Jones 問我:『妳覺得能成為一位演員真的非常榮幸,對吧?』
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
是啊確實是,我們也必須時時提醒彼此這項特權所帶來的責任,那就是設身處地的同理心。我們都應該非常驕傲今晚能共享好萊塢的榮耀,就像我已辭世的好友 Princess Leia 曾經跟我說:
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Take your broken heart, make it into art.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
『帶著你破碎的心,將它變成藝術吧。』」
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

【禪心】盂蘭盆節,佛歡喜日,供養三寶,報父母恩!
https://a88.pics.ee/A7XJR
https://goo.gl/8aG5Pt
農曆七月十五日是摩訶目犍連超度他母親的一個紀念日。
他母親在生時,不信三寶,殺了許多魚鱉蝦蟹,又慳吝不肯施捨,因為這些罪過,而墮餓鬼地獄。
目犍連尊者趕快送飯給他母親吃,她左手遮著飯,右手將飯放進口中;但飯一入口就馬上變為火炭,不能吞食。尊者往求於佛,佛告訴他應設齋供養十方自恣僧(自恣是在僧團結夏安居的最後一天,對眾懺悔的儀式)。
因為他們德行大,有威神力能使現在父母、七世父母和六親眷屬得出三途。

盂蘭盆的意思“盂蘭”是梵語,意思是“解倒懸”。這就好像我們人倒掛起來一樣,是很辛苦的,所以現在給他解開。
給誰解開呢?給我們過去的父母、祖先解開這個倒懸。我們誰也不知道,過去的父母、祖先是有功,或者是有過?有功的,固然是或者生到極樂世界,或者生到天上去,或者又生到人間做總統、做皇帝,這都不一定的。
那麼要是有過呢?
就或者墮地獄,或者轉餓鬼,或者變成畜生,這也都不一定的。農曆七月十五日是摩訶目犍連超度他母親的一個紀念日。他母親在生時,不信三寶,殺了許多魚鱉蝦蟹,又慳吝不肯施捨,因為這些罪過,而墮餓鬼地獄。
目犍連尊者趕快送飯給他母親吃,她左手遮著飯,右手將飯放進口中;但飯一入口就馬上變為火炭,不能吞食。尊者往求於佛,佛告訴他應設齋供養十方自恣僧(自恣是在僧團結夏安居的最後一天,對眾懺悔的儀式)。
因為他們德行大,有威神力能使現在父母、七世父母和六親眷屬得出三途。
任何人,若覺得自己脾氣很大,無明火太重,由這就知道你的過去父母、祖先沒有離苦得樂,所以他整天幫著你發脾氣,叫你造罪業,好快一點和他在一起。那麼你有這種感覺,就應該在這一天,做功德,來超度他們。超度他們,皆離憂苦,罪障消除。
我們在這一天要能供養三寶,這功德是勝過平日好幾百萬倍!七月十五供僧的意義《贊僧功德經》雲:諸法因緣生,安住希求意念中,為彼悉作何祈願,即得如是之成果。經云:僧如大地,能長養一切善法功德。又云:殊勝妙寶大德僧,長養眾生功德種,能與人天勝果者,無過佛法僧三寶。
齋僧的功德
1.儀表端正,容顏暐麗,人人見之歡見。
2.氣力蓋世,精神滿足,承事十方諸佛,無有疲勞。3.生天人間,壽命久長,康健無惱,命終之時,自然受生,不被病苦所纏。
4.事事安樂,不逢災逆,心想事成,無有困厄。
5.音聲清雅,容動三千大千世界;口常說清淨妙法,通達無礙,聞者無不信受而行。
近代禪門宗匠虛雲老和尚云:“佛、法二寶,賴僧寶扶持,若無僧寶,佛法二寶無人流布,善根無處培植,因此齋僧功德最大。 ”目連救母佛典《盂蘭盆經》中記載這麼一個故事,釋迦牟尼的十大弟子之一目連(亦稱目鍵連)得到神通後,想報答父母的養育之恩,他用神通眼觀察,看到已逝去的母親在鬼道中受苦,瘦得皮包骨頭不成人形。
目連十分傷心,於是用缽盛飯,用自己的神力送給母親吃,但是飯剛送到他母親手中,尚未入口即化為灰燼。目連無奈,請求佛陀幫助救救他的母親。佛陀說:“你母親罪孽深重,你一人救不了,要靠十方僧眾的道力才行,你要在七月十五日眾僧結夏安居修行圓滿的日子裡,敬設盛大的盂蘭盆供,以百味飲食供養十方眾僧,依靠僧眾的力量,救出你的母親。”
目連依尊師的指點,母親真的脫離了餓鬼道。佛陀還說:“今後凡佛弟子行慈孝時,都可於七月十五日佛喜歡日,備辦百味飲食,廣設盂蘭盆供,供養眾僧,這樣做既可為在生父母添福添壽,又可為已逝的父母離開苦海,得到快樂,以報答父母的養育之恩。”
願所生父母,或今存在,或已終亡,隨其所居,遂彼生處。唯願阿彌陀佛,觀世音菩薩,大勢至菩薩,光明照公,願力攝持,三障消除,五根成立,發菩提願,修淨土因。
存者得滿極齡,終歸寶剎;亡者即捐諸趣,便托蓮胎。
伏願我等孝順之心,深入至道之法,當來諸佛會中,同作應身眷屬。南無阿彌陀佛南無大願地藏王菩薩!
