「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。

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？

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.

人們常笑稱，要寫一個關於殺人的故事，可用不著真的去殺人吧？不過對於茱麗葉．休姆（Juliet Hulme）而言，真的有過殺人經驗，或許真能帶來不少靈感。

．
此事要先從1954年2月開始談，時年15歲的寶琳．帕克（Pauline Parker）在日記上寫著：「為什麼媽不能去死？每天都有成千上萬的人死去，為什麼爸媽不能都去死？」

同齡的寶琳．帕克與茱麗葉．休姆當時同樣就讀位於紐西蘭基督城的一間女校，兩人當時的關係堪稱形影不離，是最要好的朋友。然而，她們之間的出身背景卻有很大差距，寶琳是魚販之女，茱麗葉的父母則是來自英國的顯貴，她的父親受聘來當地擔任大學校長。

．
不過兩人一見如故，茱麗葉並未因為家庭背景而覺得忌諱，經常帶寶琳回家玩耍。起先雙方家長都對兩個女孩的友誼不以為意，直到雙方的關係開始日漸緊密，連澡也要一起洗，對待彼此的態度宛如愛侶，家人開始有些擔憂，試圖拆散她們，至少要她們保持距離。在當時，同性戀在紐西蘭被視為一種禁忌、嚴重的精神疾病。

．
究竟寶琳與茱麗葉到底是什麼關係？後來學者的觀察莫衷一是。但可以確定的是，兩個女孩從小都有嚴重生理疾病，寶琳罹患骨髓炎，茱麗葉則有結核病，或許正是同樣罹病的遭遇，使得她們更覺得親近，生命觀也與同齡人不同。她們甚至共同發明了一個宗教，這個宗教謝絕基督徒，擁有自己的天堂境地與獨有的聖人（多是好萊塢名流），稱作「第四空間（The Fourth World）」。而且不必等到死後前往，她們經常一同「造訪」此地。

．
除了一同生活在虛幻世界之外，寶琳與茱麗葉還共同撰寫小說，並想像她們構思的作品將會在好萊塢大獲成功。一起前往美國發展，成為兩個少女共同的夢。

．
1954年，茱麗葉的父母決定分居，父親辭下校長職位，雙親協議後，決定重返英國，並將愛女送往南非。寶琳得知後，也想要跟著去，但可想可知的是，她的母親堅決反對。寶琳於是向茱麗葉提出一同殺害她母親的可能性，這項提議獲得了茱麗葉的支持。

．
在當時的日記上，寶琳寫道：「我們已經想好了，並對這個想法感到好興奮。當然，我們很緊張，但期待大於一切。」

．
在1954年6月22日，她們決定付諸行動。

．
在陽光明媚的下午，兩位女孩與帕克夫人在享用午餐之後到維多利亞公園的山丘漫步。茱麗葉先將一個飾品扔在地上，讓帕克夫人彎腰撿拾，寶琳隨即將預先準備好的──盛裝著半個磚塊的襪子──舉起重擊母親頭部。帕克夫人立刻尖叫倒地、面目抽搐，茱麗葉接手拿起磚塊狂砸。少女們原先預想能夠一擊斃命，沒想到卻足足花了20分鐘才將之殺害。

．
女孩們確定帕克夫人斷氣後，隨即衝到山下，向一名小販經理誑稱母親跌倒，撞到了一顆石頭，必須請人救助。警長聞訊後到現場勘查，很快發現帕克夫人並非死於意外，她的頭骨被狠狠擊碎，共計有45處受傷，而兇器也很快被尋獲。警方隨後羈押了涉有重嫌的寶琳與茱麗葉，她們隨後也坦承犯行，只是寶琳為了保護茱麗葉，佯稱自己是獨力行兇，茱麗葉卻給予了不同的供詞，承認自己也有參與施暴。

．
這則新聞不僅在紐西蘭成為轟動的消息，也立刻成為國際頭條。兩位正值碧玉年華的少女，究竟何以動念殺害至親？精神科醫師雷金納德．梅德利科特（Reginald Medlicott）受聘替兩人做了詳細的心理衡鑑，同時詳細閱讀了她們的日記與著作。他的結論是，寶琳與茱麗葉確實處在嚴重的精神錯亂底下，而且是相互牽動的，兩人幾乎像是同一個個體。

．
梅德利科特甚至直接指出「她們絕對是瘋了」，並提及自己在探訪過程中遭到兩人嚴酷的污辱與咒罵，強調寶琳與茱麗葉的傲慢與自負遠遠超過正常人。他最後做出結論，明確指出在六月時，她們已經精神失常。

．
不過即便已經犯下罪行，寶琳與茱麗葉卻絲毫不認為自己應當負上任何責任。寶琳說自己唯一後悔的只有讓茱麗葉的家人造成麻煩，但是殺害母親乃是合情合理。茱麗葉也說，謀殺不僅是「正當的」，「殺害任何阻撓我們的人，也都是正當的」。

．
法院陸續傳喚多位精神科專家進行鑑定，結論不約而同指出兩位少女的瘋狂。在痛下犯行之前，她們就如同一般少女一樣表現出活潑與純真，但下一刻卻能拋下良知殺人，已經不是常人會有的舉動。報告亦指出，寶琳在作案前一天，對母親尤其熱情，表現善意。這些細節見報後，寶琳與茱麗葉被冠上「惡魔」稱號。

．
在審判當日，現場座無虛席。當犯罪細節被公開時，少女沒有任何反應，但當有任何被描述被她們認為侵犯了她們的虛榮心，寶琳與茱麗葉便會立刻出言反擊。出人意表的是，寶琳與另一名男孩有一段情的證據也被隨之公開，這尤其激怒了茱麗葉。而這很可能是她們此生最後一次見面。

．
1954年8月28日，法官作出宣判，認定由於兩人年紀太輕，不能判處死刑，又因為評審團不同意寶琳與茱麗葉患有精神疾病，他們不會被送入精神病院（然而，這卻符合了寶琳事前的期望）。兩人最終被判處無限期監禁，送進基督山監獄，並且分開羈押。

．
不過，監禁時間僅有五年。有傳言說，釋放條件是兩人承諾不再與彼此見面，但政府後來否認了這個說法。原籍英國的茱麗葉被無條件釋放，她來到義大利與父親團聚，而寶琳經過六個月假釋，也完全重獲自由。至於後來兩人究竟何去何從，則又有了出人意料的發展。

．
1994年，紐西蘭編劇法蘭．華許（Fran Walsh）向經常共同合作的導演彼得．傑克森（Peter Jackson）提出了將該案搬上大銀幕的構想。華許說在當時，兩位少女被媒體營造成世界上最邪惡的人，但她對於這些流於表面的報導有些不以為然，始終認為此事欠缺合理的解釋。為此，他們採訪了當時與事件相關的17位同學和老師，以及兩人的鄰居與家人，也向心理學家請益。

．
透過日記內容，華許發現兩人其實富有超越非凡的想像力，以及獨有的幽默感，絕非只能以「邪惡」一語帶過。透過全國海選，他們找到了新人梅蘭妮．萊恩斯基（Melanie Lynskey）來飾演寶琳．帕克，而當時已經有過影集演出的英國演員凱特．溫絲蕾（Kate Winslet）則從175位女孩中脫穎而出，爭取到茱麗葉．休姆的角色。

．
最後這部《夢幻天堂 Heavenly Creatures》（1994）問世，獲得全球性的成功，法蘭．華許與彼得．傑克森一同獲得奧斯卡最佳原創劇本獎提名，這也是兩人首次揚威美國，為日後他們再次合作的《魔戒 The Lord of the Rings》系列埋下伏筆。而凱特．溫絲蕾也因為這部作品，成功打響名號，開啟了輝煌的表演之路。

．
向來擅長打造奇想場面的彼得．傑克森在《夢幻天堂》成功構築了一個屬於少女的私密幻境，包括由黏土構成的奇幻王國，還向出演《黑獄亡魂 The Third Man》（1949）的奧森．威爾斯（Orson Welles）致敬，以遊走與光明與陰影底下的人物隱喻角色關係。重點是，他試圖帶觀眾同理兩位少女的心理，而非一味妖魔化的呈現。兩位演員的詮釋尤其近乎完美。

．
不過電影的成功對於兩位當事人來說，無疑是一個災難的開始。

．
寶琳與茱麗葉的下落遭到媒體「肉搜」。1997年，紐西蘭記者在英國肯特郡找到了隱姓埋名的寶琳．帕克，她改名希拉蕊．南森（Hilary Nathan），在當地經營一個兒童騎術學校，皈依天主。她透過姐姐發表聲明，表示自己對弒親感到萬般後悔。據寶琳姐姐的說法，她花費了五年的時間才終於意識到自己鑄下大錯，後來決定遠離人群，試圖默默貢獻社會。

．
不過更勁爆的則是茱麗葉．休姆的發展，她後來改名為安妮．佩里（Anne Perry），曾在美國與加拿大生活，後來搬到一個蘇格蘭的摩門教社區。她在1979年開始出版小說，並且很快成為一個成功的犯罪小說家，創造了名警探湯瑪斯．皮特一角（後續延伸了34集系列小說），並多次獲得文學獎殊榮。

．
在1994年之前，沒有人知道她就是茱麗葉．休姆。在電影問世前，她不得與她的經紀人會面，安妮．佩里鎮定地對他說：「請坐下與我談談，有一些關於安妮⋯⋯但你所不知道的事情，我得坦承相告。」

．
截至2003年為止，她已完成超過40部小說，作品在全球銷售達千萬冊，小說《No Graves As Yet》（2003）曾登上《紐約時報》銷售排行榜。安妮．佩里依然是一個成功的作家，但她的聲譽確實因此受到了嚴重的影響，作品銷售量也有下滑趨勢。她始終試圖挽回自己的名望。

．
在2003年接受採訪時，她向《衛報》記者坦言自己確實「有債要還」，但卻也試圖將責任轉嫁在寶琳身上，指控寶琳當年威脅她若不幫忙就要自殺。她也談到了《夢幻天堂》上映之前，自己的身分遭到揭露時所感到的恐慌，安妮指出「這一切都不公平，我為重返社會所做出的一切努力全部遭到了抹殺」，並且埋怨編導沒有事前請求她的許可。

．
不過安妮．佩里表現的「懺悔」卻未必讓大眾買單，在紀錄片《Anne Perry: Interiors》（2009）當中，她一再將罪刑歸咎在寶琳身上，並且誇張化地表述自己在未成年時遭受監禁的「苦難」，與其說是加害人，她更認為自己是一名受害者──在不情願的情況下協助殺人的無辜少女。這個被害者形象反而使她更顯爭議。

．
安妮．佩里不常受訪，但每次談及此案，都是一概切割態度，例如在2006年，她承認自己的確癡迷於與寶琳的關係，但否認自己是同性戀者。在2012年，她在受訪時提到自己在監獄的經歷成為了創作養分。並說自己已經負起了責任，不需要再為了過去的行為懲罰自己。

．
「你能做的最好的事，就是成為更好的人，並確保自己也能原諒別人。這意味著『遺忘』，不要帶著怨恨。這不容易做到，但你得學會。如果你相信寬恕，那就請寬恕所有人。」安妮．佩里說道：「除了繼續活下去，我別無選擇。我肯定不是第一個有這樣遭遇的人。我只希望，天啊⋯⋯都快60年了，我們讓事情過去吧。」

．
不過針對這些發言，寶琳本人沒有再做出任何回應，其家族成員也沒有予以反駁。事實上，有些觀察者指出寶琳與茱麗葉當時都能很快全身而退，除了她們尚未成年，很大原因是她們的白人身分，以及茱麗葉的特權家族背景。不過後續的發展，也反映了兩人確實存在明顯的階級鴻溝，寶琳在小鎮低調討生活，而茱麗葉卻成為暢銷作家，享有富裕的生活以及舉足輕重的發言權。

．
2017年，年近八十的安妮．佩里為了希望讓自己的小說影視化，遷居到好萊塢。不過截至目前為止，只有一部關於她的小說改編的作品問世，是一部名為《The Cater Street Hangman》（1998）的電視電影。在目前力求政治正確的時代，導演、演員涉及性侵會面臨除名懲戒，遑論原作者曾經殺人，因此目前顯然沒有公司對翻拍她的作品表明興趣。

．
反而是談論這起「帕克-休姆謀殺案」（Parker–Hulme murder case）的相關影視作品與紀錄片遠多過安妮．佩里的作品，除了上述的《夢幻天堂》之外，還包括更早一步拍攝的法國電影《Don't Deliver Us From Evil》（1971）與多部舞台劇。連《辛普森家庭 The Simpsons》都曾在第20季第9集的《Lisa the Drama Queen》（2009）鬆散地改編這個故事。

．
編劇們常掛在口邊說，你要寫一個關於殺人的故事，用不著真的去殺人吧？但安妮．佩里不僅真的殺人，還將經歷轉化為自己的作品。有一點她說得沒錯，她不是文壇第一個曾經犯下殺戒的名作家，有類似經歷的還包括曾撰寫《裸體午餐 Naked Lunch》（1959）的弒妻作家威廉．布洛斯（William Burroughs），才氣縱橫的奧地利作家傑克．溫特維格（Unterweger）甚至是一名連續殺人魔。

．
從中可以帶出很豐富的議論。安妮．佩里能以年少無知為由逃離社會大眾的公審嗎？抑或更生人難道只有隱姓埋名一途，沒有機會選擇重生？再來，創作者的私德究竟與它的作品有無直接相關？當然，這已是老生常談，或許永遠沒有標準答案。對於是非的論定，只能交給讀者自己裁決。
