【黑箱、腐敗、中正廟：中國黨不想讓你知道的史實】
文：李雨蓁 Lí Ú-chin

促進轉型正義委員會於9/8公布中正紀年堂轉型方案，規畫「#反省威權歷史公園」為主軸，改造、移除園內威權象徵，包括移除蔣介石銅像，並改造堂體功能及外觀，同時破除園區整體崇拜軸線。此方案是搜集被蔣政權屠殺的受難者團體與專家等多元意見後，考慮兼顧轉型正義與銘記歷史刻痕，並將空間還給人民。對此，中國黨如喪考妣，暴跳如雷，例如主席參選人朱立倫表示，要反過來打倒文化台獨，更質問要不要拆中山高。


其實，如何去除獨裁威權，高雄在14年前早就示範過一次。


大家都知道，文化中心原本叫做「中正文化中心」，在1970年代，和權力中心相隔甚遠的高雄政壇，為了表忠諂媚老蔣，把壽山改名萬壽山，愛河改名仁愛河，不久後的1974年，也計畫在林德官舊棒球場的土地上，興建「中正堂暨中正圖書館」，說是要「獻給蔣公九十歲誕辰的獻禮」。但蔣介石當時身體已如風中殘燭，隔年就一命嗚呼。


市府原本還想改名「中正紀念堂」或「中正紀念館」來「緬懷 領袖」，結果好笑的是被中國黨中央政府打槍，理由是不能和中央的中正紀念堂混淆。1979年搭上十二大建設各縣市文化中心的政策，擴大規模，成為「中正文化中心」，也因此，成為在圖書館、表演廳中央立有一神龕狀空間，立有巨大坐姿銅像的特異文化建築。


2002年，謝長廷市長任內推動多處公園改造地景工程，將原本圍繞文化中心的圍牆拆除，擴大人行步道成為「市民藝術大道」，原本支撐欄杆之間的石鼓經過重新設計，搭配當季藝文活動不定期更換圓形燈片，這項工程獲得好評，也沒有太多爭議。又過了不久，在2007年，陳菊市長決定讓「文化去政治化」，移除蔣介石銅像，並將「中正」去掉，改成單純的「文化中心」。這次就踩到中國黨痛腳，引起藍營劇烈反彈，但風波並未持續多久。從2002-2007這段時間內的「文化中心空間解嚴」，讓園區回歸文化用途，也增加了市民活動空間。


然而，在高雄中正文化中心成功去政治化以後，台北中正紀念堂也計畫拆除圍牆，增加開放性，卻造成劇烈反彈，甚至當時北市府趕緊把僅有二十多年歷史的中正紀念堂列為古蹟。後續每次討論到去除「中正」，將空間還給人民，重新客觀看待歷史的提議，都引發中國黨陣營破口大罵。


但若我們回歸歷史，中正紀念堂的興建本身，就是一項充滿問題，涉及欺騙人民、浪費預算、黑箱作業的可疑決策：


■經費來源欺騙人民，不斷追加天價預算
蔣介石死後，行政院經治喪委員會會議決議，決定在臺北市擇地興建「中正紀念堂」。當時治喪委員會召集人俞國華公開宣佈：各界捐獻的中正紀念堂籌建款項達新台幣一億四千八百多萬元，此外還有人捐獻水泥、玻璃等建材，因此，第一期建築「可以不必動用政府的經費。」（聯合報，1976-7-10）然而，該年10月，建築經費就變成5億元（含兩廳院），到完成時，經費已經膨脹到本體11.8億，其中8.8億由政府預算支應。後續兩廳院因工程延後，預算更增加到74億。中正紀念堂預算草率決定，不斷膨脹，可以說是黑箱作業，其中好大喜功、奢靡腐敗的程度，令人難以想像。


■佔用市政發展用地，排擠各項重大建設
11.8億的預算，聽起來好像不多？但在1976年中正紀念堂動工時，台灣國民所得僅1053美元，2021年預計已達33310美元（以上均主計處數據）。而當時興建一整個港口（台中港）50億，整座國際機場（桃園）100億；現在建一個貨櫃中心（高雄洲際二期）1125億，一個航廈（桃園三航）1000億。換算中正紀念堂造價，約今日300億。在當時台灣進行多項建設時，也算一筆相當大的開銷。

另外中正紀念堂預定地，原本在1974年台北市府規劃為「第二商業中心」，包含18~50層高的辦公大樓和24~30層高的旅館和公寓多棟、四棟百貨公司、文化中心、世貿中心、綠地等空間，投資額150億台幣，相當於信義計畫區+兩廳院的機能。卻因為中正紀念堂而全部推翻，因而台北市府重做都市計畫，把都心改到信義計畫區，也推延了開發的時程。為了個人崇拜，大筆消耗國家預算，打亂都市計畫，讓市政延宕數年，這些成本從來沒人去追究。


■競圖黑箱作業，圖利特定廠商
1976年，中正紀念堂舉行國際競圖時，曾要求作品須具「創造新穎設計」、「獨特風格」、「應用現代建築工程技術」、「經濟實用」，結果卻是參選作品中唯一不具現代風格，還提了兩個案子的楊卓成作品得標。當時，籌建小組號稱聘請國內外專家進行評審，但奪得第一名的建築師陳邁（宗邁建築師事務所）表示：評審雖然喜歡他們的案子，但在會議上無法做成正式決定、要讓蔣宋美齡從國外返台做最後決定，而蔣宋美齡回來以後連圖也沒看，只丟下一句話：「選中國式的就好。」可以說是黑手介入競圖。

其實，楊卓成的代表作包括早年的士林官邸、圓山飯店，以及多座蔣介石行宮，更多次與蔣宋兩人當面討論建築設計，是深得蔣家歡心建築師。整體設計完全投蔣家所好，牌樓參考中國明代十三陵，堂體外型則參考中國廣州的中山紀念堂，佈局參考中山陵，但規模更大，就是要「超越國父」。而台階89階象徵蔣介石歲數，格局仿造中國帝王陵寢，建築加上傳統廟宇、墳墓一定會用的「雲紋」，擺明就是蓋「帝廟」而非紀念堂。當時政府放任不具任何公職身份的蔣宋美齡，為個人喜好隨意推翻競圖結果，以法治國家來看，就是一種舞弊、圖利熟識廠商的行為。


這樣疑點重重的工程，在黨國體制的掩蓋下，居然變成台北的象徵，中國黨的精神堡壘，實在諷刺至極！


若是回歸正常，就算不追究當初決策者的責任，將城市空間去除威權象徵，並納入蔣介石執政時期政治迫害與屠殺下受難者的記憶，賦予更多元的使用空間，也只是最低限度的剛好而已。在這點上，台北反省歷史的能力，實在遠遜高雄太多。

《 我和香的因緣之九 》
　
「我已近耄耋之年，但尚覺慶幸，如今頂上毛髮仍然未曾添加半莖霜雪，齒牙尚未動搖，眼尚可穿線自如，終年未曾有過頭痛腦熱或風寒之疾……這些如今想起全是我在年輕時，在北京曾經居住一段時間，經由友朋之介，曾和王維老道長學習過醫術和拳術，後來始知道，王師乃近代受人景仰之奇人異士，其門下高士亦多，例如譽滿國內外之武術大家杜心五，對其功夫和修養就極為讚賞，日後成為亦師亦友之交。」方老道談及這段因緣時，從他的臉上神情，彷彿有著感今懷昔之慨⋯⋯。
　　　
方老道曾經在六朝古都的北京駐停過數年，原本是受道觀師父之命至西區的白雲觀受戒，後來經由北京某一道友之緣，謁見當時遠近遐邇的高人，人稱神仙的王心齋道長。當時他住在一座老道祠裡，平日裡有著絡繹不絕來求助、求依、尋求解答人生疑難者多不勝數，當日去拜訪時，也是等了好幾個時辰之久，王道長一見方老道，二話不說直接指出身上所患之疾在何處？有何症兆？一一細說，毫無含糊，接著又跟方老道提及祖先某房有人跳井而亡，未受超度，靈魂飄蕩，並且問詢方老道，此亡者在其年幼時家人把其過繼予他⋯⋯？這段話說得方老道膽顫心驚、虛汗直冒，因為王道長所說的幾乎件件皆是一言中的⋯⋯，那天所有訪客中就屬王道長和方老道所談的時間最長，或許也是宿世之緣，王道長說方老道和他有些因緣，可以閒暇時從他處學習些醫科及傷科之技，後來方老道能夠對於傷筋動骨、矯治刀患，並且擅治內外一切諸傷或熱症、瘡癰、諸毒症，這些本事是否皆從王道長處習得就不得而知，但有幾次有些骨盆、脊椎、手足錯位等相關病者，有的困擾多年，影響生活品質極深，但似乎不用三次，方老道皆有辦法使其歸位，並且毫無痛楚之況⋯⋯關於此點，我曾從旁仔細觀察，奇怪的是有些病症，老道並未觸及患者膚骨，但為何有些病者會眉頭深蹙，似乎有股熱氣在其患處來回竄動，不消一會兒卻又平靜如初，進而活動自如，叩謝稱奇不已。我了然於心，方老道和我在他處幾位老輩高人所見皆同，應是菩薩心腸所致，用自身畢生之精氣神所聚之氣，療人之疾，解人之痛，若無悲憫之心，恐難達此。
　　
除了方老道之外，在過去所學道家尊宿師長所得之，香供在佛、道兩家都有其供香之道，在道教稱為太真天香，隨著所學傳承有別，也有聽聞過靈寶慧香、妙洞香⋯⋯等，整個道教所言道香其實所講的也離不開心香，一切都以心為主、為真，為精、氣、神之象徵，故稱德香，也稱無為香，因為和心神清淨度為重、為要，所求亦以心神統一、俯敬三清，不散亂，承事用敬，自然可得神助。
　　
在中國焚香、點香的習俗從周朝便有記載，也是世界上最早使用香的國家，因此在過去中國人的觀念總認為祭祀天人、神明，總要使神得知、得聞，因此尋找最好的香木，點燃香氣上揚，直達蒼穹，神明自然得聞，便會降福於民。漸漸地也開始講求香品的高低之分，這點從道教的宮廟中，一旦有任何法事、科儀以香齋天，便成了極重要的流程。隨著香煙騰空上供一切上、中、下三界中之高真諸神，都極為慎重⋯⋯。
　　
方老道年輕少壯之時遍歷各省洞天福地，因此，一切齋戒、科儀莫不嫻熟，每當諸佛菩薩、諸天神明聖誕之時，方老道便會在幾天前就把他私藏上品香塊取出，切成香片用以祭天，他的道壇上有早期上品沉香木塊所刻三清道祖，雖然佛身不長被盛供在一玻璃匣中，但因為年代久遠，三尊聖像上已經流透出溫潤黑金色光澤之油光，令人好生恭敬歡喜，方老道說：「這是標準的閩南刻工，是我早期剛到台灣時尋找當時最好的福建師所雕刻，當時還是用商船寄艙漂流來台，因為香木本身精貴取得不易，我為了怕木身受潮，還花了大半月訂製錫作為盛裝之器，煞費苦心。沉香怕潮溼，怕過於乾燥，也怕霉氣侵襲，再加上要乘船，海上漂流期間船上水氣、濕氣過重，擔心時間過久整塊木頭價值和香氣受影響，因此，我便在匣盒下層以蜂蜜及上等老沉香一起盛放相隨以養其木，隨船的尚有兩大箱香塊，以及沉香所雕觀音像、沉香所製佛珠⋯⋯等香品一起隨行⋯⋯」
　　
方老道在某日晚饍後一時談興大作，一邊啜飲著武夷老茶，一邊把自己所了解的心得和有緣者大談其道：「要選擇一塊好的香木真的是可遇不可求，並且要懂得判斷抉擇，例如：挑選時一定要挑選油質的含量愈高的，品級愈是上乘，若是把木頭丟置於大海之中，經由打撈上岸此香便成水沉，本身油脂也算高⋯⋯」（未完待續）

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.

2021年2月電視劇│精彩好劇 獨家看點搶先知！【二月電視劇】

《風起霓裳》
這部劇是改編自藍雲舒的同名小說，由古力娜扎 許魏洲領銜主演，值得一提的是：這部劇是由《陳情令》導演親自執導，相信在呈現上會比較貼合原著。故事是以大唐貞觀年間為背景，講述了製衣大家安氏因被徒弟陷害入獄，臨危之際將幼女琉璃（古力娜扎 飾）託付給了宮中友人。在宮中長大的琉璃繼承了母親的製衣天賦，因遭到奸人嫉妒而陷入危機，幸得裴行儉（許魏洲 試）出手相救。為了查明安氏一案的真相，原本即將年滿出宮的琉璃決定在宮中蟄伏，最終在裴行儉的協助下為安氏沉冤昭雪。

《假日暖洋洋》
這部劇是國內首部賀歲檔輕喜連續劇，由姚晨 白宇 張靜初 董成鵬領銜主演。既然是賀歲劇，劇情當然是圍繞春節，不過在人物刻畫上並沒有像以往情感劇那樣著墨太多在人物之間的矛盾衝突，而是用輕喜劇的方式去呈現生活中暖心的一面。講述了大年三十晚上，來自不同背景的三批遊客在真愛度假村發生的三個溫暖治癒的浪漫故事，遭遇事業與愛情雙重打擊的經紀人許可依（姚晨 飾）因在度假村邂逅了成熟暖男侯昊（白宇 飾）而找回人生的方向，隱離婚的陳斌斌（董成鵬 飾）與宋小可（張靜初 飾）原本只是為了敷衍長輩來這裡過年卻意外重拾愛的火花，整部劇用輕鬆的敘事方式讓尋找幸福的人找到了最溫暖的答案。

《女孩子不好惹》
這部劇是由高瀚宇 王梓薇領銜主演的，劇情上加入了甜寵 搞笑 奇幻等元素，外表俊朗個性灑脫的林楠（高瀚宇 飾）是圈內炙手可熱的平面攝影師，這使得找他拍攝的人趨之若鶩，不過只醉心於攝影的林楠很多時候顯得我行我素口無遮攔，常常得罪人而不自知。然而在一次離奇的車禍之後，林楠每到晚上七點鐘就會變成小孩子，到了第二天早上七點又會變回大人，並在後頸處出現了一個奇怪的表盤標記，中間是100天倒計時的數字，而這個魔咒的背後竟還隱藏著一個驚人的秘密。

《起跑線》
這部劇是由劉濤 李光潔 穎兒 胡可領銜主演的都市家庭情感劇。故事上是以四個不同類型的家庭為切入點，多維度還原時下家庭的育兒現狀，劇中的四位媽媽都有著自己獨特的育兒觀，然而媽媽們覺得最好的，對於子女來講是否又是最適合的？是該劇探討的一個熱點話題，此外，該劇對親子關係也進行了生動的描摹。如何在不斷碰撞中磨合出適合孩子成長的正確方式，也許是每個爸爸媽媽都需要思考的哲學。
