野放台灣五十餘年,貪狼獨坐,三方四正殺破狼格局,少年多舛,白手起家,隨展覽雲遊四海,如閒雲野鶴常持各類底片機流連廢墟、山川、宮廟忘返,遂設幻影堂自詡堂主,一日三省「凡所有相皆是虛妄」,常宅於暗房沖片放大通宵、鍾情黑白世界之單純,彩色照片俗世繽紛花俏做作甜美甚至比現實更現實故少拍也。知天命之年有餘,了悟人生一瞬、眨眼即逝,雖非仙人,亦無道骨,初聞離垢地生清淨心,但離華嚴「不動地」尚遠,待修持也。
2017年盛暑拍畢《巨神連線》,心律不整差點心肌梗塞向閻羅王報到,意識死神隨伺在側,人生苦短,如何了生脫死、盡斷煩惱、無所罣礙、遠離顛倒……總不得解,蒙釋迦摩尼佛開示飆淚三晝夜,聞佛法數載始知自我渺如塵埃,甚感慚愧。閒暇乃參訪名寺古剎,禮敬焚香佛陀菩薩羅漢諸神天仙王爺媽娘,台灣宮廟千奇百怪、宗派錯綜複雜(佛教、道教、一貫道、天主教、基督教、齋教、回教&大同教、儒教鑾堂、天帝教&天德教、慈惠堂&勝安宮、軒轅教、道院、理教、萬國道德會、會靈山……)、神棍橫行(依人不依法、偶像崇拜、斂財、邪淫),因歷史變遷、社會動盪、政治鬥爭、意識形態等因素導致佛道混雜,但地獄造景稀少,後專注拍攝各殿閻王、判官、陰司、獄卒、七爺、八爺乃至一切罪人,各寺造景巧妙、耐人尋味,意境乖張溢於言表,造型扭曲非常人所能塑也,然匠心獨運、自成一格,專研西方藝術數十載方知真誠樸拙最美,絲毫不輸喬托(Giotto di Bondone,1267~1337)乃至米開朗基羅(Michelangelo Di lodovico Buonarroti Simoni 1475 ~ 1564)矣。
創立於1986年的石門金剛宮風景優美可眺望北濱,雖主祀四面佛,儒釋道眾神尊也不含糊,可過七星橋解厄、繞行五百黝黑羅漢敲鑼印心、跪拜亞洲最大臥佛涅槃像,安太歲自不在話下,甲子太歲爺雙眼長出手掌印象甚深,1994年經閻羅王指示廟公建造一條肚內設極樂世界及陰曹地府之神龍,行走暗黑通道觸動感應機關,只見面容猙獰受刑者呼天搶地喊冤、身邊盡是血肉糢糊殘肢敗屍腦漿塗地,十殿閻羅各司其職、威儀攝人。新北市林口區青嶺湖北文紫祥宮包公廟則以壁面彩塑地獄浮雕獨步全台,粉嫩色彩搭配卡漫風格,尤為造型簡直恐怖到可愛透頂,該廟主祀森羅殿閻羅天子包拯(包青天),陽世冤屈者可至此參拜祭解,求破懸案者眾,逢中元普渡皆以紙紮船渡亡魂至彼岸,全台唯一閻羅天子巨像籌備中,四周環繞墓地,適合修不淨觀也。台灣首尊彰化八卦山大佛旁南天宮(1971)地府則是首座電動地府,規模精小但驚嚇度破表,略顯破敗但五光十色仍蠻凶悍,出自已故台南大道長金登富之作,而電動神明起始可追溯至1960年代北港朝天宮。倒是嘉義水上鄉白人牙膏觀光工廠「戴相府」、「將軍府」設置十殿地府出乎意料之外,乾淨亮麗、ㄧ殿ㄧ間、簡單樸實。由高雄蓮潭龍虎塔龍口入內可見全臺唯一交趾陶地獄牆面,尊尊栩栩如生,續入龍身乃進聞聲救苦白衣觀音大士三十三化身浮雕隧道,造型設色甚為古錐。高雄大岡山超峰寺入口處「西方三聖蓮池海會」(阿彌陀佛、觀世音菩薩、大勢至菩薩巨像)旁設靜態十殿閻羅(1970年代初),雖略為陳舊然韻味猶存,續往上行可抵「證菩提道-釋迦如來應化事迹」雕塑園區,一攬世尊畢生精華。如來年邁時,琉璃國王為報長期被釋迦族輕蔑之傲慢心,世尊雖三次單獨伽跌坐 阻擋大軍進攻之路,但因緣果報無法逆轉,昔日婢女所生王子瞋恨無以復加,還是滅了祖國。自持神通第一目犍連不忍無辜百姓慘遭屠殺,遂以缽盛救度五百族人,最終卻化為血水,佛言神通廣大仍不敵千百劫業力,因緣果報屢試不爽。其母死後墜入餓鬼道飢餓難耐,目犍連遂展神通救渡,但所食尚未入口皆化為赤火,佛陀囑咐農曆七月十五日僧眾解安居自恣日,於盆中設甘露美食供養十方僧眾,因此超度亡母。後世「盂蘭盆法會」乃至「水懺法會」、「瑜珈焰口法會 」皆為消業障、斷塵垢之超渡儀軌,既渡亡魂也自懺悔。
台南麻豆代天府規模宏大、造型豔麗,不但可遊十八層地獄尚可逛天堂(1979年興建,1983年開放),燈光絢爛、聲響駭人,獨自漫步宛如觀落陰、地獄走一回。先過「心頭山」、入「清心池」、進「陰陽界」、抵「交簿廳」、達「鬼門關」、遊「補經所」、探「枉死城」、行「奈何橋」,至ㄧ殿泰廣王照「孽鏡台」現造惡原形,睹抱柱、火床等小地獄。二殿楚江王開「陰查簿 」判案定奪,觀糞尿泥、餓鬼、舞池、寒冰、膿血、鞭韃、舌犁、劍葉、戟腹拋接、砧截……等小地獄。三殿宋帝王刑罰為倒吊、銅鐵刮臉、挖眼、搗樁、倒烤、吸血、穿肋、抽筋、蛆蛀等小地獄……兼遊「四生(胎、卵、濕、化)回魂府」。四殿五官王掌管腰斬、拔舌、沸湯、刺嘴、剝皮、箭樹、車崩、射眼……等十六小地獄。隨五殿森羅王豋「望鄉臺」回眸親人最終眼後觀擊膝、誅心、刀山、飛刀火石……小地獄。六殿卞城王別稱「大叫喚大地獄」,轄火牛、虎啖、噬腎、鉗嘴含鍼、釘喉、磨摧、砍頭……等小地獄。七殿泰山王為「熱惱大地獄」,窺烙手指、抽腸、頂石蹲身、油釜滾烹、割舌穿腮……等十六小地獄。八殿都市王掌管「大熱惱大地獄」兼火狗、鐵汁、鐵蛇、鋸劈斷肢、釘板、灸脊、鐵丸、磅秤……等小地獄。九殿平等王直轄十八層「阿鼻大地獄」,直透地心、內中陰森、不見五指、滿溢地漿,皆為極犯,另轄紫赤毒蛇鑽孔、夾頂、鐵鴉、針雨、蜂蠍……等小地獄。至十殿輪轉王上「觀生臺」、「轉劫所八司」(查驗司 、稽善司 、考過司 、恩怨司 、壽命司 、支配司、掌劫司 、授生司)後至「孟婆亭」飲「醧忘湯」忘盡前塵往事,依前世功德過金、銀、玉、石、木、竹六種橋樑至「轉輪臺(紫河車)」入六道輪迴轉生投胎。據《十八泥犁經》記載,人過世後七七四十九天為「中陰生」,經閻羅王審判善惡業力判定去留或懲罰百千萬劫,犯五逆重罪則墮入「無間地獄(阿鼻地獄)」永劫不復。地藏王乃幽冥教主,統轄十殿閻羅,逢三曹普渡便在各殿設「講道所」超度尚存善根之鬼魂。
人類居於五趣(阿修羅、人、傍生、餓鬼、地獄)雜居地五濁惡世之堪忍世界,犯十惡業(殺生、偷盜、邪淫、妄語、兩舌、惡口、綺語、貪慾、嗔恚、愚痴)者必墮三趣惡道。如何出「三界」(欲界、色界、無色界)二十八天?凡人無此意識,別說能破「十二因緣」(無明、行、識、名色、六入、觸、受、愛、取、有、生、老死)還滅門,更別想斷除「四聖諦」(苦、集、滅、道)集地八十一品見惑與八十八使思惑(五利使-身見、邊見、邪見、見取見、戒禁取見、五鈍使-貪、瞋、癡、慢、疑),了悟「五蘊」(色、受、想、行、識)本空、「十二入」(眼、耳、鼻、舌、意、色、聲、香、味、觸、法)空、「十八界」空,破俱生我執與分別我執、法執甚至空執,生十一處「善心所」(信、精進、慚、愧、無貪、無瞋、無痴、輕安、不放逸、行捨、不害),降二十六處「惡心所」(貪、瞋、癡、慢、疑、惡見、忿、恨、覆、惱、嫉、慳、誑、諂、害、憍、無慚、無愧、掉舉、惛沉、不信、懈怠、放逸、失念、散亂、不正知),須知善根斷盡則陷永劫輪迴、無垠轉世之苦。
地獄可能空滅嗎?若地獄空乏人間多鬼怪,地獄淨空世間何嘗非淨土?若能證空性何處現地獄?
地獄曠古來便廣泛流傳各部族間,老死生滅為自然運行之基礎、宇宙意識之核心,然今文明昌盛如咱城邦並非慾望消弭之所,惡性所及實無可根除,礙於憲法國家法律社會軍隊企業公司學校家庭團體之層層束縛不亞於十八層,乃遁於壓抑、束己情懷,暗埋心底、日久貪嗔痴慢疑怨噌會疊穢。而六塵未熄,心多妄念,妖魔鬼怪魑魅魍魎孤魂閃靈出沒於荒郊乃至人間,會靈於曠野密林以增性靈乃出世高人修煉之舉,我等凡人擅闖宛如迪士尼般之人造地獄,三魂七魄尚不足以出竅,驚邪恐怖淒厲猙獰倒滿足了自以為是的慚愧,豈不謬哉?
病毒肆虐年半有餘,全球確診者逼近一億八千萬,枉死者近四百萬,堪比戰爭規模,望眾生發慈悲心、令往生者安息、善待其他物種、平等有情眾生。地獄本空,唯妄念生起一切羨慕嫉妒恨而地獄現前。盡以此書作為世界新冷戰獨裁者、超限戰者、暗網駭客、陰險狡猾冷嘲熱諷落井下石者之良知備忘錄矣。
姚瑞中寫於2021年端午節
Postscript
I have been living recklessly in Taiwan for more than fifty years. According to Zi Wei Dou Shu (Purple Star Astrology), Tan Lang is the sole star in my house of Self. This star, which represents xxx, forms an equilateral triangle with that star Qi Sha and Po Jun on the square chart and constitutes a Sha Po Lang pattern. The pattern indicates a kind of turbulence and change, a life of wandering with ups and downs and it tells a lot about my life. After my ill-fated youth, I started from scratch and traveled around the world with exhibitions that I participated. Like a flaneur, I wandered around ruins, nature, and temples with every type of film camera obliviously. Thus, I founded the Hall of Illusion and claimed to be the master of the hall. Several times a day, I pondered a quote from the Diamond Sutra, “Everything with form is unreal.” In addition, I usually stayed in the darkroom developing film and enlarging those negatives overnight. However, I treasured the simplicity of the black and white world. The earthly, gaudy, garish, phony and pleasing qualities within colored photos make the images even more realistic than the real world. It is not my cup of tea, so I seldom took colored photos. In Confucian thought, the age of fifty marks the stage knowing the mandate of Heaven. I am now at my fifties and realize how ephemeral human life is. However, I am not an immortal, nor having sagelike characteristics. I just learned that the stage of stainless (the second bhūmi) and develop a pure mind that is free from doubt and defilement. However, I’m still far from the immovable state and need to practice.
In the summer of 2017, after filming the work Incarnation, I experienced a severe heart rhythm problem which almost triggered myocardial infarction and could have killed me. Consequently, I realized that death was waiting for me and the life is too short to figure out how I can liberate myself from the cycle of Birth and Death. I couldn’t comprehend how to be free from all afflictions and worries and how to avoid delusive ideas. I wept for three days and nights after being enlightened by Shakyamuni Buddha. Up to the moment, I felt ashamed that I failed to realize that the self is as insignificant as dust after these years learning and practicing Buddhism. Since then, I have visited famous temples and monasteries in my spare time, worshiping Buddha, Bodhisattvas, arhats, and all the deities and immortals. Taiwan’s temples are myriad with a enormous number of sects, including Buddhism, Taoism, Yiguandao, Catholicism, Christianity, Chinese religions of fasting, Islam& Baháʼí Faith, Confucianism, Tiandiism& Tian-De Teachings, Xiwangmu cult, Yellow Emperor Sect, Precosmic Salvationism, Liism, World Wide Ethical Society, séance cult, etc. Some people even claim that they can mediate communication between the deities or spirits of the dead with human beings, having their believer rely on themselves instead of the orthodox dharma or dogma and pay excessive respect and admiration for the mediums or objects, accumulating wealth through such an unfair means or even harassing their believer sexually. Due to Taiwan’s historical changes, social turbulence, political struggles, and ideological issues, Buddhism and Taoism are somehow mixed. However, there are few emphases on the concept of the hell. As I took photographs of Yama of each court, judges, wardens of the underworld, jailers, General Fan and Hsieh (the ghost escorts) and all sinners, I found few temples cleverly created hellish scenes that are intriguing, exaggerating, and extraordinary. However, the creations are unparalleled unique. I have been studying Western arts for decades and then I came to realize that simplicity makes the most beautiful works of art. These hellish scenes can even compete with works of Giotto di Bondone (1267-1337) and Michelangelo Di lodovico Buonarroti Simoni (1475-1564).
Jingang Temple Shimen District, founded in 1986, overlooks the beautiful North shore. Although the temple is mainly dedicated to Phra Phrom (the Thai representation of Mahabrahma), spirits of Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism can also be founded in the temple. The worshipper can go cross the Seven Star bridge to relieve bad luck, walk along the five hundred arhat statues and knock on the gong to affirm one’s Buddha nature. Furthermore, the worshipper can also prostrate themself before Asia’s largest statue of Buddha in Nirvana (the Reclining Buddha statue) and pacify the Taoist Tai Sui deity of the year. I was impressed by the Jia-Zi Tai Sui General that a pair of palms grow out of his eyes. In 1994, the biō-kong (the person taking charge of the temporal affairs of a temple) received a divine inspiration from Yama (the King of Hell) that he had to build a sacred hall in the shape of a divine dragon, with the interior designed according to the World of Ultimate Bliss and the Underworld. When the visitor walks in the dark hallway, they will see the tortured people (dioramas, of course) scrunching their faces and crying bitterly and loudly in excessive grief as the visitor triggers the mechanism. One will even find them in the midst of flesh, body liquid and blood, mutilated limbs, and rotten corpses. While each of the ten Yamas are focusing on their own duties, showing their sacred dignity that collect visitors’ attention. The Baogong Temple in Linkou District, New Taipei City exclusively features colorful depiction of hellish scenes in relief in Taiwan. With its pastel shades and cartoon-like style, the relief is both grotesque and adorable at the same time. This temple is dedicated to Bao Zhen (also known as Justice Bao) representing the incarnation of Yama. Living people who have been treated unjustly can come worshipping Bao Gong and receive exorcism. Therefore, many people come here for seeking to solve unsolved cases. In Zhongyuan Festival (the ghost festival), the temple will burn the Zhizha (paper craft) boat to ferry the ghosts to the other shore, which is the shore of enlightenment. The only giant statue of Yama in Taiwan is still in the making. The temple is surrounded by a cemetery, suitable for meditating on the loathsomeness and impurity. Nantian Temple (1971), located next to the Eight Trigram Mountains Buddha in Changhua, features the first animatronic underworld. Despite the small size, the animatronic underworld is intensely shocking. Though it’s slightly worn, the colorful dioramas are still brutally ferocious. The creator was the late venerable Dao Zhang (Taoist priest) Jing Deng-fu while the origin of animatronic deities can be traced back to the 1960s Beigang Chaotian Temple. On the contrary, the Whiteman Toothpaste Tourism Factory in Shuishang Township, Chiayi, features ten Yamas with individual booth. The place is unexpectedly clean and polished yet keeps a simple and modest tone. Then, the Dragon Pagoda of the Dragon and Tiger Pagodas at Lotus Lake in Zuoying, Kaohsiung, holds the only relief of hellish scenes made of Kochin ceramic. All the figures are vivid and life-like. If one goes further into the pagoda, they will see a relief tunnel of the thirty-three incarnations of the white-robed form of Guanyin (Avalokiteśvara) on a white lotus, with a lovely and interesting design. Another Hall of Yama is built in the 1970s next to the entrance of Dagangshan Chaofeng Temple, located in the Alian District of Kaohsiung. Visitors will also see three statues of the Three Holy Ones of the Western Pureland (Amitābha, Avalokiteśvara, Mahāsthāmaprāpta) which assemble at a lotus pond. Although the hellish scene looks somewhat antiquated, you may still find its previous charm. If one goes further, they will reach the sculptural garden of “Attaining the Bodhi Way: the Incarnation of Sakyamuni Buddha,” where the visitor can see the essence of Bhagavato’s (meaning the Blessed one, one of the common epithets for Buddha) life. When Tathāgata (another epithet for Buddha) was old, the king of Kosala wanted to avenge the arrogance of the tribe of Shakyas who had long despised him, regarding him as a son of a maiden. Although Buddha has sat in lotus position alone three times to stop the army from attacking his tribe. However, one can never reverse the cause and following karma. The prince born of a maiden was so furious that he eventually destroyed his homeland. Maudgalyāyana (one of the Buddha’s closest disciples), who is said to have had supernatural abilities that surpassed the other disciples, could not bear to see the slaughter of innocent people. Thus, he saved five hundred people of his tribe with a pātra (an eating utensil of Buddhist monks). Unfortunately, everything he did was in vain, those who were saved eventually turned into a puddle of blood. The Buddha said that the supernatural abilities cannot surpass the power of karma. The cause and effect work all the time. When Maudgalyāyana’s mother fell into the path of hungry ghost, he used his supernatural abilities to save his mother from hunger. However, all the food turned into fire before being fed to his mother. Later, the Buddha commanded the monks to put nectar and dishes in a basin on the 15th day of the seventh month in the lunar calendar for the monks from all directions to free his mother from reincarnation. In later times, the Ullambana Dharma Service, the Compassionate Samadhi Water Repentance, and the Yoga Collection for Feeding the Searing Mouths Dharma Service are rituals to eliminate karmic hindrance and to cease to worldly delusions. Through such practices, one can free the dead as well as confess their repentance.
Madou Daitian Temple is a magnificent and colorful temple in Tainan. Not only can the worshippers visit the eighteen levels of Hell but also the Heaven (it was built in 1979 and inaugurated in 1983) here. The lighting and sound effects are stunning and frightening. When walking alone in the space, one may feel like taking a Guan Luo Yin trip (a Taoist necromancy which leads people’s spirits to hell and communicate with the dead ones) to visit the underworld prison. Before arriving the first court of the underworld, the visitor will walk through the Mountain of Heart Summit, the Pure Heart Pond, the Frontier between the Living and the Dead Realms, the Soul Registry Hall, the Portico of Demons, the Center for Complementary Teaching of Canonical Books, the Citadel of Premature Death, and the Bridge of Vanity. When one arrives at the first court, they will see King Chin-guang, who is in charge of the court, using the Mirror of Retribution to show the earthly form of evil creatures and also witness the sub-hell of Pillar-Holding and Fire Bed, etc. At the second court, King Chu-jiang collates the register of sins the souls of the dead have committed to impose the punishments. Here, you will see the sub-hell of Excrement and Urine, Hungry Ghost, Burning Dance Floor, Ice, Pus and Blood, Whipping, Tongue-Raking, Sword Blade, Stomach-Piercing, Chopping, etc. Next, the dead at the third court, ruled by King Song-di, will receive the punishments including inversion tortures, face-skinning with steel and copper knife, eye-wrenching, pounding, blood-sucking, rib-piercing, roasting, tendon-taking, being eaten by maggots. The visitor can pay a visit to the Palace of Soul-Resuscitation for the Four Forms of Creatures (birth from an egg, birth from a womb, birth from moisture, and birth by transformation). King Wu-guan is in charge of the fourth court. There are sixteen sub-hells at the fourth court including Waist Chop, Tongue Removal, Boiling Pond, Mouth-stabbing, Skin-peeling, Sword Tree, Burning Wheels and Cart, Eye-shooting, etc. Next, at the fifth court, sinful souls are allowed to ascend the Tower of Hometown-Viewing to take a final look of their family. The visitor will witness sub-hells of Knee-striking, Heart-slicing, Blade Mountain, Flying Swords and Burning Stones, etc. The King of Bian City takes charge of the sixth court, which is also known as the “Great Hell of Screaming,” with sub-hells including Fire Cattle, Tiger-Biting, Kidney-Eating, Mouth-Poking, Throat-Nailing, Iron Mill, Decapitation, etc. The King of Tai-shan is in charge of the seventh court, the “Great Hell of Heat and Fire.” The sixteen sub-hells at this court include Finger-Searing, Bowel-Hauling, Stone-Bearing, Boiling Oil, Tongue-Removal and Cheek-Piercing, etc. Next, the King Du-shi is in charge of the eighth court, the “Great Hell of Intense Fire and Heat,” and the sub-hells including Fire Dogs, Molten Iron, Iron Snakes, Dismemberment, Steel Spikes, Burning-Marrow, Iron Ball, Scale, etc. The ninth court is ruled by the King Ping-deng. It is known as the biggest court, Avici Hell (the Hell of Incessant Suffering), which if the lowest level of the hell realm and the interior is gloomily and terrifyingly dark. Those who committed the most serious evil deed will be sent to the Avici Hell. Sub-hells such as Poisonous Snake, Brain-Removal, Crow-Gnawing, Raining Needles, Wasps and Scorpions are included at this court. After arriving the tenth court, ruled by the Great King of the Reincarnation Palace, one can visit the “Observatory of Life on earth” and the “eight bureaus of the Reincarnation Palace” (including the Bureau of Judicial Control, the Bureau of Good-Actions, the Bureau of Bad-Actions, the Bureau of Debts, Gratitude, and Vengeance, the Bureau of Longevity and Destiny, the Bureau of Familial Ties, the Bureau of the Reincarnated, and the Bureau of Birth). The sinful one will be sent to the Pavilion of Mengpo and made to drink the Soup of Forgetfulness to forget all past affairs. According to the sinful one’s merits of previous life, they will go across one of the six bridges (gold, silver, jade, stone, wood, bamboo) to the “Reincarnation-Wheel (Wheel on the Crimson River).” Finally, one is able to reborn in the six realms. According to the Aṣṭadaśa nāraka sutra ( the Eighteen Hells Sutra), after one passes away, they will enter an intermediate and transitional state between death and rebirth, known as antarābhava in Sanskrit, for forty-nine days. The being will be evaluated by Yama, who will decide if one should get reborn or get punished at the hell. Those who committed the Five Grave Offenses (killing one’s father, killing one’s mother, killing an Arhat, shedding the blood of a Buddha, and creating a schism within the community of Buddhist monks and nun who practice for attaining enlightenment.) will be sent to the Avici Hell and stay there eternally. Kṣitigarbha is the Lord of the Nether World, ruling the ten court of Hell. The lord will set up the “Hall of Teaching” at each court to salvage those sinful ones who still obtain few merits at the offering rituals.
Human beings live the Sahā world (sahāloka in Sanskrit, meaning “endurance of suffering,” a concept of mundane world in Mahāyāna Buddhism) where they share with other reincarnations (including beings of the hells, of the preta, and of malevolent nature spirits) with five turbidities (the Kalpa turbidity, the view turbidity, the affliction turbidity, the living beings turbidity, and the life turbidity). Those who commit the ten evil deeds (killing, stealing, adultery, lying, using immoral language, slandering, equivocating, coveting, anger, and false views) must fall into the three evil paths (animals, preta, and hell). However, how can one escape from the three realms/ twenty-eight heavens (including the six heavens of the desire realm, the eighteen heavens of the form realm, and the four heavens of the formless realm)? Worldly people who don’t have such an awareness cannot leave the cycle of the twelve nidanas (meaning causes or motivations), let alone eliminate the eighty-one afflictions (that have been produced due to misunderstanding regarding reality) and the eighty-eight illusions (including five afflictions of advanced practitioners, also known as five views: view of self, extreme view, evil view, view of attachment to views, and view of morality; and five unintelligent temptations: desire, anger, stupidity, arrogance, and doubt) of thought within the three realms and four Arya satyas (noble truths, including suffering, arising, ending, and path). They cannot realize that the essence of the five skandhas (referring to aggregates of clinging, including the matter of form, sensation, recognition, mental formation, and consciousness) , the twelve ayatana (meaning sense base, including six internal bases: eye, ear, nose, tongue, body, and mind and six external bases: visible objects, sound, odor, taste, touch, and mental objects), and the eighteen dhātavah (meaning compositional elements of human existence, including six consciousness, six faculties, and their objects) are the emptiness and the void. Furthermore, they cannot dispel the two reasons for clinging to the idea of the self and the attachment to elemental constructs and even believe in the two (false) tenets that that karma and nirvana are not real and that the ego and phenomena are real. As a consequence, they fail to develop the eleven wholesome mental factors (faith, energy, conscience, being ashamed, non-attachment, non-aggression, non-delusion, calmness, equanimity, conscientiousness, and non-injuriousness) and cease the sixteen unwholesome mental factors (desire, greed, anger, delusion, arrogance, doubt, wrong view, wrath, enmity, hypocrisy, vexation, jealousy, parsimony, deceit, flattery, harming, ambitiousness, stupidity, lacking of faith, idleness, being unrestrained, forgetting, distraction, non-discernment, ). One must bear in mind that once all our virtuous roots are discontinued, they will be trapped in the never-ending reincarnation and the suffering of infinite continuity.
Is it possible that the hell will be empty one day? If the beings in hell will become extinct while evil spirits inhabit the mundane world, the world could be considered as a pure land. If we could witness the nature of the void, then hell will exist no more.
Since ancient times, the concept of hell has been widely spread among all tribes. Aging, death, beginning, and end are the basis of nature and the core of cosmic consciousness. However, the prosperous civilization as our island is not a place where desire can be eliminated. It’s impossible to eradicate evil nature. Since fetters brought by the constitution, the state, the law, society, the military, corporations, schools, families, and groups are not less than the eighteen levels of hell, the mortals repress themselves, bury their feelings. Day after day, greed, anger, stupidity, arrogance, doubt, and resentment are stacking. However, since the six dust (visible objects, sound, odor, taste, touch, and mental objects) has not yet been extinguished, people in the mundane world are still full of delusions. The demons, devils, evil spirits, and the wondering dead exist in the wilderness, while only advanced practitioners with transcendent would attempt to make contact with the dead in the wasteland and forest. Worldly people like us trespass in Disneyland-like man-made hell. It is absurd and ridiculous that the hellish scenes cannot stop us from perpetrating evil deeds, but the horrific and cruel scenes yet satisfy our self-righteous shame.
The pandemic has been boiling over for more than a year and a half. The number of infected patients worldwide is nearly a hundred and eighty million, and the death toll has risen to four million, which is equivalent to a war crisis. I hope that we can all be compassionate, give peace to the dead, treat all sentient beings well and equally. The hell is innately empty; however, deluded and misleading thoughts would give rise to all jealousy and hatred and then manifest the hell before us. This book merely serves as a memorandum of conscience for dictators of the world’s new cold war, supporters of unrestrained warfare, dark web hackers, and those who are cunning and contemptuous and maltreat others when knowing they have problems.

疫情爆發以來,藝術家能做的事不多,平常就閉關在家其實挺習慣,但是總想為社會做些事、幫上忙,想了半天安撫人心也許還行吧!於是另一本「地獄空」將趕在中元普渡八月初出版上市,由典藏出版社社長發心首肯出版,設計名家黃子欽操刀,附贈很多符咒給大家趨吉避凶。諸惡莫作,眾善奉行,疫情消退,平安喜樂。附上後記給大家解封後參訪這些宮廟,觀照自己的心所。全文如下:
野放台灣五十餘年,貪狼獨坐,三方四正殺破狼格局,少年多舛,白手起家,隨展覽雲遊四海,如閒雲野鶴常持各類底片機流連廢墟、山川、宮廟忘返,遂設幻影堂自詡堂主,一日三省「凡所有相皆是虛妄」,常宅於暗房沖片放大通宵、鐘情黑白世界之單純,彩色照片俗世繽紛花俏做作甜美甚至比現實更現實故少拍也。知天命之年有餘,了悟人生一瞬、眨眼即逝,雖非仙人,亦無道骨,初聞離垢地生清淨心,但離華嚴「不動地」尚遠,待修持也。
2017年盛暑拍畢「巨神連線」,心律不整差點心肌梗塞向閻羅王報到,意識死神隨伺在側,人生苦短,如何了生脫死、盡斷煩惱、無所罣礙、遠離顛倒…總不得解,蒙釋迦摩尼佛開示飆淚三晝夜,聞佛法數載始知自我渺如塵埃,甚感慚愧。閒暇乃參訪名寺古剎,禮敬焚香佛陀菩薩羅漢諸神天仙王爺媽娘,台灣宮廟千奇百怪、宗派錯綜複雜(佛教、道教、一貫道、天主教、基督教、齋教、回教&大同教、儒教鸞堂、天帝教&天德教、慈惠堂&勝安宮、軒轅教、道院、理教、萬國道德會、會靈山…)、神棍橫行(依人不依法、偶像崇拜、斂財、邪淫),因歷史變遷、社會動盪、政治鬥爭、意識形態等因素導致佛道混雜,但地獄造景稀少,後專注拍攝各殿閻王、判官、陰司、獄卒、七爺、八爺乃至一切罪人,各寺造景巧妙、耐人尋味,意境乖張溢於言表,造型扭曲非常人所能塑也,然匠心獨運、自成一格,專研西方藝術數十載方知真誠樸拙最美,絲毫不輸喬托(Giotto di Bondone,1267~1337)乃至米開郎基羅(Michelangelo Di lodovico Buonarroti Simoni 1475 ~ 1564)矣。
創立於1986年的石門金剛宮風景優美可眺望北濱,雖主祀四面佛,儒釋道眾神尊也不含糊,可過七星橋解厄、繞行五百黝黑羅漢敲鑼印心、跪拜亞洲最大臥佛涅槃像,安太歲自不在話下,甲子太歲爺雙眼長出手掌印象甚深,1994年經閻羅王指示廟公建造一條肚內設極樂世界及陰曹地府之神龍,行走暗黑通道觸動感應機關,只見面容猙獰受刑者呼天搶地喊冤、身邊盡是血肉糢糊殘肢敗屍腦漿塗地,十殿閻羅各司其職、威儀攝人。新北市林口區青嶺湖北文紫祥宮包公廟則以壁面彩塑地獄浮雕獨步全台,粉嫩色彩搭配卡漫風格,尤為造型簡直恐怖到可愛透頂,該廟主祀森羅殿閻羅天子包拯(包青天),陽世冤屈者可至此參拜祭解,求破懸案者眾,逢中元普渡皆以紙紮船渡亡魂至彼岸,全台唯一閻羅天子巨像籌備中,四周環繞墓地,適合修不淨觀也。台灣首尊彰化八卦山大佛旁南天宮(1971)地府則是首座電動地府,規模精小但驚嚇度破表,略顯破敗但五光十色仍蠻凶悍,出自已故台南大道長金登富之作,而電動神明起始可追溯至1960年代北港朝天宮。倒是嘉義水上鄉白人牙膏觀光工廠「戴相府」、「將軍府」設置十殿地府出乎意料之外,乾淨亮麗、ㄧ殿ㄧ間、簡單樸實。由高雄蓮潭龍虎塔龍口入內可見全臺唯一交趾陶地獄牆面,尊尊栩栩如生,續入龍身乃進聞聲救苦白衣觀音大士三十三化身浮雕隧道,造型設色甚為古錐。高雄大岡山超峰寺入口處「西方三聖蓮池海會」(阿彌陀佛、觀世音菩薩、大勢至菩薩巨像)旁設靜態十殿閻羅(1970年代初),雖略為陳舊然韻味猶存,續往上行可抵「證菩提道-釋迦如來應化事迹」雕塑園區,一攬世尊畢生精華。如來年邁時,琉璃國王為報長期被釋迦族輕蔑之傲慢心,世尊雖三次單獨伽跌坐阻擋大軍進攻之路,但因緣果報無法逆轉,昔日婢女所生王子瞋恨無以復加,還是滅了祖國。自持神通第一目犍連不忍無辜百姓慘糟屠殺,遂以缽盛救度五百族人,最終卻化為血水,佛言神通廣大仍不敵千百劫業力,因緣果報屢試不爽。其母死後墜入餓鬼道飢餓難耐,目犍連遂展神通救渡,但所食尚未入口皆化為赤火,佛陀囑咐農曆七月十五日僧眾解安居自恣日,於盆中設甘露美食供養十方僧眾,因此超度亡母。後世「盂蘭盆法會」乃至「水懺法會」、「瑜珈焰口法會」皆為消業障、斷塵垢之超渡儀軌,既渡亡魂也自懺悔。
台南麻豆代天府規模宏大、造型豔麗,不但可遊十八層地獄尚可逛天堂(1979年興建,1983年開放),燈光絢爛、聲響駭人,獨自漫步宛如觀落陰、地獄走一回。先過「心頭山」、入「清心池」、進「陰陽界」、抵「交簿廳」、達「鬼門關」、遊「補經所」、探「枉死城」、行「奈何橋」,至ㄧ殿泰廣王照「孽鏡台」現造惡原形,睹抱柱、火床等小地獄。二殿楚江王開「陰查簿」判案定奪,觀糞尿泥、餓鬼、舞池、寒冰、膿血、鞭韃、舌犁、劍葉、戟腹拋接、砧截…等小地獄。三殿宋帝王刑罰為倒吊、銅鐵刮臉、挖眼、搗樁、倒烤、吸血、穿肋、抽筋、蛆蛀等小地獄…兼遊「四生(胎、卵、濕、化)回魂府」。四殿五官王掌管腰斬、拔舌、沸湯、刺嘴、剝皮、箭樹、車崩、射眼…等十六小地獄。隨五殿森羅王豋「望鄉臺」回眸親人最終眼後觀擊膝、誅心、刀山、飛刀火石…小地獄。六殿卞城王別稱「大叫喚大地獄」,轄火牛、虎啖、噬腎、鉗嘴含鍼、釘喉、磨摧、砍頭…等小地獄。七殿泰山王為「熱惱大地獄」,窺烙手指、抽腸、頂石蹲身、油釜滾烹、割舌穿腮…等十六小地獄。八殿都市王掌管「大熱惱大地獄」兼火狗、鐵汁、鐵蛇、鋸劈斷肢、釘板、灸脊、鐵丸、磅秤…等小地獄。九殿平等王直轄十八層「阿鼻大地獄」,直透地心、內中陰森、不見五指、滿溢地漿,皆為極犯,另轄紫赤毒蛇鑽孔、夾頂、鐵鴉、針雨、蜂蠍…等小地獄。至十殿輪轉王上「觀生臺」、「轉劫所八司」(查驗司 、稽善司 、考過司 、恩怨司 、壽命司 、支配司、掌劫司 、授生司)後至「孟婆亭」飲「醧忘湯」忘盡前塵往事,依前世功德過金、銀、玉、石、木、竹六種橋樑至「轉輪臺(紫河車)」入六道輪迴轉生投胎。據「十八泥犁經」記載,人過世後七七四十九天為「中陰生」,經閻羅王審判善惡業力判定去留或懲罰百千萬劫,犯五逆重罪則墮入「無間地獄(阿鼻地獄)」永劫不復。地藏王乃幽冥教主,統轄十殿閻羅,逢三曹普渡便在各殿設「講道所」超度尚存善根之鬼魂。
人類居於五趣(阿修羅、人、傍生、餓鬼、地獄)雜居地五濁惡世之堪忍世界,犯十惡業(殺生、偷盜、邪淫、妄語、兩舌、惡口、綺語、貪慾、嗔恚、愚痴)者必墮三趣惡道。如何出「三界」(欲界、色界、無色界)二十八天?凡人無此意識,別說能破「十二因緣」(無明、行、識、名色、六入、觸、受、愛、取、有、生、老死)還滅門,更別想斷除「四聖諦」(苦、集、滅、道)集地八十一品見惑與八十八使思惑(五利使-身見、邊見、邪見、見取見、戒禁取見、五鈍使-貪、瞋、癡、慢、疑),了悟「五蘊」(色、受、想、行、識)本空、「十二入」(眼、耳、鼻、舌、意、色、聲、香、味、觸、法)空、「十八界」空,破俱生我執與分別我執、法執甚至空執,生十一處「善心所」(信、精進、慚、愧、無貪、無瞋、無痴、輕安、不放逸、行捨、不害),降二十六處「惡心所」(貪、瞋、癡、慢、疑、惡見、忿、恨、覆、惱、嫉、慳、誑、諂、害、憍、無慚、無愧、掉舉、惛沉、不信、懈怠、放逸、失念、散亂、不正知),須知善根斷盡則陷永劫輪迴、無垠轉世之苦。
地獄可能空滅嗎?若地獄空乏人間多鬼怪,地獄淨空世間何嘗非淨土?若能證空性何處現地獄?
地獄曠古來便廣泛流傳各部族間,老死生滅為自然運行之基礎、宇宙意識之核心,然今文明昌盛如咱城邦並非慾望消弭之所,惡性所及實無可根除,礙於憲法國家法律社會軍隊企業公司學校家庭團體之層層束縛不亞於十八層,乃遁於壓抑、束己情懷,暗埋心底、日久貪嗔痴慢疑怨噌會疊穢。而六塵未熄,心多妄念,妖魔鬼怪魑魅魍魎孤魂閃靈出沒於荒郊乃至人間,會靈於曠野密林以增性靈乃出世高人修煉之舉,我等凡人擅闖宛如迪士尼般之人造地獄,三魂七魄尚不足以出竅,驚邪恐怖淒厲猙獰倒滿足了自以為是的慚愧,豈不謬哉?
病毒肆虐年半有餘,全球確診者逼近一億八千萬,枉死者近四百萬,堪比戰爭規模,望眾生發慈悲心、令往生者安息、善待其他物種、平等有情眾生。地獄本空,唯妄念生起一切羨慕嫉妒恨而地獄現前。盡以此書作為世界新冷戰獨裁者、超限戰者、暗網駭客、陰險狡猾冷嘲熱諷落井下石者之良知備忘錄矣。
姚瑞中寫於2021年端午節
雙蓮滅死神 在 銀色快手(Silverquick) Facebook 的最讚貼文
或許我不會成為一個真正的冒險家,但我會寫出冒險的故事,就像從不曾離開台灣的武俠小說家古龍,他能憑藉想像力構築另一個屬於俠義與奇情的幻想世界,還有一個偉大的作家我忘記是誰?他說很多人需要透過旅行去印證一些東西,但他從不需要透過旅行來實現自我或挑戰冒險,他認為光是探入挖掘自己內在的世界,本身就是無止盡的冒險。
在我人生當中有好幾次做出抉擇的時候,能感覺到心臟劇烈的跳動,說不上是興奮不安,還是雀躍狂喜,或者是潛意識知道即將面臨的變動與未知的恐懼,但同時我也很清楚一切已經無法回頭,做出抉擇的瞬間已然成為過去,我得面對的是往後的人生該怎麼走,該怎麼活。
前陣子聽朋友說「徒手攀岩」這部紀錄片,放在待看清單有一陣子,今晚覺得心情很適合,便打開電視播放這部紀錄片,一邊吃超商買的微波便當,一邊跟妻子閒聊,話題不外乎接下來的行程,打算想要完成哪些任務?中秋節我們要去北海道十天,接著回國一週後出發去英國旅行。
北海道是四個月前決定的,四個人一起去,我沒有做任何功課,其中一位朋友很焦慮,她必須要確認行程,事先規劃,我覺得這樣很好,但我就是辦不到,旅行對我來說是一種冒險,我會在有限度的安全範圍內,進行這樣的冒險。
大約一週前,看完《哈利波特:一段真實的魔法史》Harry Potter: A History of Magic 這部 2017上映的紀錄片,為了紀念《哈利波特》二十週年,大英博物館和JK羅琳合作,策畫了一個從史料和典籍,為大家介紹歷史上真實存在的魔法,於是明白了英國的神秘力量召喚著我,我必得順從內心的直覺出發,這時候妻子對我說,不然英國的來回機票她出錢,我們去一趟英國如何?
原以為下次去歐洲,我會去西班牙的巴塞隆納、荷蘭或是芬蘭這些地方,沒想到會是英國,妻子從沒有這麼阿莎力的願意贊助旅費,大多時候的旅行由我這邊負擔,她一直很支持我的夢想,我記得2009年底,渴望能開一間書店,她把寫作出書的版稅五萬元給了我,她說我們搬去台北住,搬家的費用和房租押金都在這裡,你一定要成功!我當時超感動的,還不至於哭出來,可是內心非常激動,我想開一間書店,而且非做不可,因為我的妻子支持我去實現夢想,我也相信我能夠做得到。
沒力超會訂機票、訂住宿、訂火車票這些我無能為力的作業流程,我呢則是被放生在一個陌生的國度或城市,最後依然可以好好活著的人,我的空間感很強,走過一次的路徑就能記住,不會害怕陌生的環境,在哪裡都可以睡著不會認床,於是我們成為旅伴和夫妻,就是相互依賴的這種默契支持彼此走下去。
「徒手攀岩」看到一半,大緯兄傳來 Message Call 問我方便通話嗎?我說好啊,我下午看見他的留言,正想著和他說說話,他之前在英倫從事房地產仲介買賣,對當地非常熟悉,也有許多合作的夥伴,這次去英國,他想介紹一些朋友給我認識,認識新朋友當然好,說不定可以蒐集到新的故事,還可以有人帶我去看不同視角的英國,我們簡單的交換些想去,我知道英國一定有什麼在那邊等待我去發掘。
喜歡「徒手攀岩」因為它代表著一個人的冒險,要拍攝這樣的紀錄片,其實並不容易,除了長時間跟拍,需要有一組人隨時待命,背後有資金在支持,劇組人員也要熟悉各種器材的使用,包括登山攀岩裝備和各種攝影器材,人員的安全和行程規劃,有些時候也要深入被拍攝者的私人領域,要能表現出攀岩運動家的公眾形象,也要進入他的內心挖掘那些內心真實的話語,擔憂和恐懼。
所有人都會擔憂某些事情,在我們生命中的每一天,我相信生存本身就是帶著恐懼的力量出發的,而徒手攀岩更是極限運動裡面,危險性相當高的一種,艾力克斯霍諾德(Alex Honnold)著迷於這樣的極限挑戰,有他自己的成長背景和心理因素,他常被別人說是怪咖,搞不懂他心裡在想什麼,交往過的前女友認為他腦子有病,為什麼有人完全不會害怕置身在危險的地方,每一次的徒手攀岩,都像是在跟死神招手,都像是一場豪賭,沒有明天的冒險行動。
聽他的女友和母親,還有一起攀岩的老友,談怎麼看待艾力克斯從事他的喜歡的攀岩事業,他們的心聲是如此立體的呈現對於這樣的一個人的高度關心、尊重與盡可能降低擔憂的程度,影片到了中段,開始呈現艾力克斯自我的挑戰極限,原來他也會怕失敗,曾經摔傷了背,從五十英呎的半空摔下來,發生壓縮性骨折在腰椎這個部位。
拍攝過程中,一次練習他滑下來傷到右腳的足踝,那感覺非常痛,可練習無法停止,他是拿了人家的贊助要在期間之內完成任務,終於他在練習中開始有些沒把握,他無法信任自己受傷的腳,對攀岩的自信暫時喪失,他對自己相當自責,在朋友的勸說下,他決定延後正式挑戰的時程,他的表情似乎非常灰心沮喪,但你總得要想辦法撐過去艱難的時刻,你要去克服內心住著的心魔,要征服峭壁,你必須先征服自己的恐懼。
我想起某一年去慈濟大學人社院演講,搭太魯閣號提前來到花蓮市區,我漫無目的的散步,臨時起意去秀泰影城看一部電影,從上映的片子隨意挑選一部《走鋼索的人》The Walk 2015,是Joseph Gordon-Levitt 主演,講一九七三年紐約雙子星大廈落成之前,有個瘋狂的人成功挑戰了在兩棟摩天大廈之間搭起的鋼索之橋上走索,成為史上唯一也是絕無僅有的傳奇,好喜歡這樣的故事。
如今雙子星大廈在九一一恐襲中坍塌消滅,再沒有第二個人挑戰相同的事,這麼厲害人的究竟是如何辦到的,我在觀影過程中大受震憾,片尾崩潰的大哭,我知道自己是個膽小鬼,但好多事情想要嘗試和挑戰,我比別人更需要勇氣,每當我又陷入自我懷疑的時候,我會想起這部《走鋼索的人》它給了我無比的勇氣,將我推向未知的世界。
李小龍、神風特攻隊、徒手攀岩都有著相似的情境,抱著必死的決心戰鬥,懦弱膽小的我,這輩子做不到他們的百分之一,不,應該是連千分之一都不到,我為什麼那麼喜歡看帶有危險、刺激與千鈞一髮的電影,那是因為我的現實生活需要極大的安全感,在非現實的想像空間裡,我需要危險,令人恐懼的事物來平衡身心,來刺激我僅有的多巴胺。
我並不覺得自己比別人勇敢去做些什麼,總是強烈的感覺到沒有時間了,我不知道明天會如何,但我知道現在不做,以後也不會去行動,所以我決定現在就去做,不是因為怕後悔,而是怕自己沒有時間了,我有一些朋友在年輕的時候死去,有一些臉書上的朋友,認識和不認識的,在這段期間消失了,到另一個未知的國度去旅行,我希望他們在那裡是幸福的,沒有憂慮的,快樂而自由。
「基本上那是一種更高層次的自信,攀岩讓你成為一個戰士,你明白這是你的道路,你將會追求卓越,你要面對你心中的恐懼,因為你的目標需要它來完成,那是他媽的戰士精神,我認為自由的意識是非常接近戰士文化的。你把100%的注意力放在你的生活上,因為你的生活仰賴它,而我仰賴的是攀岩,挑戰生命中的不可能。」——Alex Honnold
也許我不會成為一個真正的冒險家,但我會寫出冒險的故事,就像從不曾離開台灣的古龍,他寫出可以流傳後世的武俠小說,還有一個偉大的作家我忘記是誰,他說很多人需要透過旅行去印證一些東西,但他從不需要透過旅行來實現自我或挑戰冒險,他認為探入挖掘自己內在的世界本身就是冒險。
(欲成就偉大,你必須先讓自己的意志強大。)
每一個人都活在他自己的牢籠裡,他是透過寫作去掙脫這樣的牢籠,他覺得挑戰永遠不是外面的世界給你的,而是你自己內心的魔鬼,你要勇敢的去面對它,將魔鬼驅逐或釋放,才會得到心靈上的自由和平靜,而他強烈的以為旅行並沒有辦法解決這些問題,走到世界各地,最終你還是必須抵達自己,沒有人能幫得了你,但寫作可以。
我並不是這樣的思想派,我深信旅行總能帶給我不同的啟發和靈感,即使我的安全感需求如此巨大,如果能適時的把自己放在陌生未知的城市,我反而會激發求生意志,我是無法真正去無人島或森林裡獨自活下去的人,我也需要旅伴,我害怕真正的孤獨,與世隔絕的生活,雖然想像這樣的生活極度浪漫,但我依然是個在城市裡長大的孩子,大自然永遠是危險的,你不知道將在何處陷落,而且永劫不復。
當艾力克斯說出自己的擔憂,女友也坦承害怕有一天真的會失去了他,艾力克斯的友人說,他們攀岩的生涯已經有30-40位徒手攀岩家發生意外死於山谷,艾力克斯也知道自己心理早已有了準備,他害怕的不是死亡,是沒能如願挑戰完成,征服那座峭壁險峰,他面對了所有人的壓力,最大的壓力來自於自己那不容許失敗的嚴苛要求。
正式出發進行最終的拍攝,艾力克斯要徒手完成這次不可能的任務那天早上,所有拍攝人員,導演和艾力克斯的好友心情都非常沉重,他們已經做好一切的準備,包含有可能這次挑戰會失敗,他們心心念念的艾力克斯可能會掛掉,我看到這一幕再也無法繼續看下去,我的內心異常的激動,情緒是漲滿的,我覺得我得寫下此刻的心情,跟大家分享我內心的恐懼,它是如此的真實,提醒我還活著的時候,就要勇敢的去面對自己,做自己想做的事,不要讓未來的自己感到遺撼。
成就偉大的事,需要的是戰士精神,如果你的夢想版圖夠大,就需要更大的心靈力量去支持你做該做的事。
我心中有些模糊的想法,我有預感會和你一起完成,接下來的人生,我會邀請更多有夢想的朋友一起參與,我們不需要做到那麼危險的冒險,但我們可以為自己的人生跨出一大步,只為了美好的自由意志,為美好的事物乾杯,為自己的夢想勇敢一次。
這些是我想對你說的話,不知道你聽見了嗎?

《羅喉傳說》
文/JBY
「吾之雙足踏出戰火,吾之雙手緊握毀滅,吾名,羅喉。」
死神之禍尚未完結,傳說中的上古暴君--羅喉的重生又在武林掀起波濤,
戰爭兵燹是他的目的而非手段,「唯有戰爭能保有英雄的價值」是他的信念。
他究竟是滅世魔頭?還是救世英雄?
一、過去的歷史記載
天外來的魔頭邪天御武降世,在西武林做亂,令西武林地界人民幾近滅絕。
羅喉和三名同志聯手消滅邪天御武,但也折損其二。之後他建立天都,成為一
代霸主,並將邪天御武屍首懸掛在天都頂端,宣揚威權。
未料消滅魔頭的人並非英雄,而只是另一名魔頭。羅喉為了成就霸業,犧
牲了十萬人民,進行了恐怖的統治,將反對他的人盡皆殺害,又橫起兵燹,到
處引發戰火,民不潦生。
無法忍受的天都子民紛紛起義,反抗羅喉的暴政。在一次起義中,義軍攻
進天都,雖然最後被羅喉平定,但邪天御武屍體被奪,而後其脊骨被鑄成影神
刀,眼為妙毗之玉,鱗甲則成刀龍戰袍。羅喉為了提升自身的力量,前往月之
國度吸收月之精華,卻不料刀無后受月族所託,手持影神刀將羅喉斬殺,將其
頭顱封印在月族王族禁地千滄冷雪,而軀體流落苦境不知所蹤。他所佩帶的羅
喉戒璽則輾轉來到死神手中,被死神加諸驅使他人臣服的力量,後來被須彌如
來藏法尊宗喀爾收回後沉入摩羅之海。
二、羅喉的重生
天狼星利用死神之眼吸收了羅喉戒璽上的死神之力,無意中釋放了被封在
戒璽中羅喉的力量。後來闇影魑首為找死神復仇,前往千屍壁吸收怨靈,不料
羅喉的身軀竟在千屍壁中,魑首反遭羅喉控制,轉為致力於羅喉復生,前往摩
羅之海取回戒璽交於千屍壁中。
後來藉由佛業雙身女體愛禍女戎利用月王幽溟前未婚妻丹瑩的嫉妒之心,
蠱惑她前往千滄冷雪取出羅喉首級。就在月族大將軍滄月銀血率軍前往欲追回
首級時,羅喉在陰謀家滄海平的幫助下重生。
三、重生後的羅喉
羅喉復生之後,第一件事便是踏上月之國度,月王幽溟、大將軍蒼月銀血
聯合火狐夜麟抗敵,仍無法避免覆滅的命運,銀血為了讓夜麟帶走幽溟,欲與
羅喉同歸於盡失敗身亡。
滅月族後,羅喉重建天都。先遣使往天下封刀約戰,使節在中途便為天下
封刀主席刀無極長子刀無形所殺。羅喉再約見天下封刀,副主席玉刀爵率眾前
來,素還真、千葉傳奇高峰上觀視。羅喉對雙方開出交出兇手,並找尋擁有刀
龍之眼的人為條件以換得生存空間。
後來滄海平擒刀無極三子刀無心至天都,逼迫天下封刀交出殺使者的兇手。
但刀無形因俠腸無醫的栽贓找天刀笑劍鈍尋仇不敵被殺,刀無極帶著刀無形的
屍體前往天都欲換回刀無心,羅喉拒絕放人。九州一劍知為救無心闖天都,羅
喉讚賞其傲骨,在他生命垂危時出手擋下部屬的刀,並放出刀無心讓兩人離開。
羅喉令部屬對天下封刀展開行動,先滅南、北兩分舵,再揮軍總部。天下
封刀四大名流及時來到,天都人馬陷入危機時名為黃泉的武者殺入幫助突圍。
然事後羅喉前往欲將黃泉收為麾下卻遭拒絕。
刀無極為除羅喉,率領天下封刀,號召千葉傳奇帶領的日盲族、素還真為
首的中原正道展開三方圍城。羅喉軍開始佯敗退首天都,派人潛出包圍找滄海
平、邪靈大軍回歸反包圍,天下封刀遭滄海平和邪靈勢力拖住。羅喉對上素還
真及千葉傳奇,雙蓮欲使出渾沌之力失敗而不敵。葉小釵及萬古長空護雙蓮徹
退,分別遇上羅喉和黃泉攔路,被漠刀及天刀救走。三方圍城宣告失敗,黃泉
以挑戰羅喉的名義加入天都,成為天都首席戰將。
戰後刀無極所率領的天下封刀、千葉傳奇率領的日盲族先後降於天都,羅
喉更在千葉身上下扣心血便於控制,並再次要求兩人找尋擁有刀龍之眼的人及
醉飲黃龍。
天下封刀送出四大名流中唯一女性,玉刀爵之女玉秋風往天都做臥底欲刺
殺羅喉,事敗自殺。楓岫主人透露能改變羅喉的人,乃羅喉結義兄弟君鳳卿後
代君曼睩,便由玉刀爵送人至天都。羅喉本欲殺曼睩,見其頸掛過去結義信物,
改變主意並命手下虛蟜服侍。
曼睩前往天都藏書閣查閱關於羅喉和邪天御武的相關記載,黃泉現身告知
記載中關於當年犧牲十萬人以禁咒血雲天柱除去邪天御武的事,點出天都所記
載的歷史和外界的史書有很大的出入,又找到過去曼睩先祖君鳳卿為天都訂立
的天都制典,發覺若依制典統治,天都將是一大盛世。
曼睩在天都的時間,羅喉心性大有轉變,並未繼續對正道發動攻擊。後經
曼睩請求,黃泉奉羅喉之命前往奪回死神之子照顧。
公孫奪鋒死訊傳來,曼睩請求離開天都為義父弔喪,羅喉應允帶其前往迴
龍三巔,並命黃泉同行。未料西造之外素還真(千葉傳奇所扮)、刀無極、漠
刀絕塵、少獨行來到,羅喉力戰四大高手,最後因君曼睩捲入戰場分心中招,
黃泉及時來救。三人逃至洞窟中,羅喉重傷之下回憶舊事,道出被血雲天柱犧
牲者後代篡改的歷史背後真相。言畢,黃泉巡視回來,表明自己原為月族的火
狐夜麟,為報月族血仇臥底而來,羅喉坦然受之,銀槍穿心,當場斃命。
四、歷史的真相
邪天御武天外降臨,瘋狂開殺,更逼使當時西武林的人獻祭所有不滿兩歲
的嬰兒,所經之處屍橫遍野,西武林成了無人可以居住的荒地,並開始對中原
蠢蠢欲動。為了保護後代及故鄉,十萬為人父母者自願成為九殃幡的冤魂,成
功佈起血雲天柱,並在羅喉及其三名結義兄弟的努力下,成功誅滅邪天御武,
羅喉的二弟三弟也因此犧牲。邪天御武死前留下詛咒,「我的雙眼會見證你的
滅亡,我的骨頭將刺穿你的咽喉,你的追隨者永遠見不到茁壯的幼芽。」
戰後,羅喉取出邪天御武的心臟弔祭犧牲者,並取兩滴心血,自己飲下其
一,另一滴則留給四弟君鳳卿。君鳳卿因不願留在兩名結義喪生的土地,帶著
結義信物退隱,羅喉則在西武林建立起天都。
天都創建初期富裕和平,數年後,昔血雲天柱犧牲者後代長成,開始對羅
喉展開報復行動。天都十五年初,義軍攻進天都,搶奪邪天御武屍體,雖被羅
喉平定,屍首卻因此失落。羅喉性情從此漸趨暴躁,左右皆不敢輕犯。二十年,
左大將鳳翔叛變,羅喉退出天都。偽造的史冊在民間留傳,反抗的聲浪一波接
著一波,竄改的歷史開始被相信為真實,羅喉便以暴君之污名名留歷史,而過
去其三位兄弟的功勳也被抹滅。
五年後,羅喉忿恨偽造的史書,重回天都,屠殺所有反抗他的人,並開始
挑起戰禍,連破西方三國,梟首七千,又向南消滅鱷族、音族。後來羅喉為提
升自己的力量,前往月之國度吸收月之精華時,被身穿刀龍戰袍的刀無后及手
持影神刀之醉飲黃龍斬殺。因為曾飲邪天御武心血,羅喉之後方能復生。
五、第三段人生
黃泉在復仇之後,照羅喉遺言保護君曼睩脫困,並聽從曼睩之言回天都欲
將神之子送至寒光一舍。未料剛步出天都,問天敵為奪神之子而來,天都部屬
聽聞羅喉死訊,除狂屠、虛蟜遵從武君遺命,其餘眾部皆轉投靠邪靈。狂屠為
護黃泉、虛蟜離開喪命於問天敵。前往寒光一舍途中,邪靈、天都叛將延路追
殺,又遇日盲族萬古長空攔路。戰至寒光一舍前,邪靈大軍、天下封刀、四名
魖族包圍而至,黃泉力竭重傷之際,再度重生的羅喉步入戰場,一招震退所有
勢力、擊殺叛亂部屬,將護神之子的兩人帶進寒光一舍。
寒瑟山房中,楓岫主人與羅喉會談。羅喉第二次的重生,仍是依靠邪天御
武心血所化之血玉之效。楓岫要羅喉重新思考未來,莫要重蹈過往覆轍,第三
段人生應找出新的意義,真正的英雄,其目標往往不是成為一名英雄。另一方
面,黃泉無法面對重生後的羅喉而選擇離開。
後素還真從楓岫主人得知歷史真相,並接受其意見,前往懇求重回天都的
羅喉打通被佛業雙身分開的滅境,以便正道前往滅境取玄牝之血,以玄牝破玄
牝之法消滅佛業雙身,並解釋迴龍三巔圍殺中的素還真乃他人所扮。羅喉應允
幫忙並給予素還真扣心血機關,讓他擁有可和千葉傳奇周旋的籌碼。拉回滅境
之後,羅喉更直接殺進邪靈基地妖世浮屠,取得玄牝之血交予素還真。
之後他前往月之國度,取走幽溟隨身的月族玉璽,放出被月王放逐邊疆沙
漠中的月族罪犯及幻之一族,讓月族得以重建,並對黃泉明言若仍想報仇可隨
時到天都找他。
中原正道進行破雙身的同時,羅喉約戰問天敵,一報當時降其部屬、殺狂
屠、重傷黃泉之仇。殺問天敵後,又急援中計遭邪靈包圍的正道群俠,讓眾人
得以脫困。
回天都後,女戎問罪而來,並要求羅喉履行當初幫助四境合一的約定。羅
喉答應只幫助一次,卻在之後發信琉璃仙境,提醒在苦滅合一後佛業雙身和自
身只會餘下三成功力,素還真和千葉傳奇得知此為滅雙身一大機會。未料在苦
滅合一的過程中,雙身將大部份壓力讓羅喉承擔,雙身沒有損失太多功力,羅
喉真力耗損過度先行退去,正道眾人遭邪靈圍殺,千葉傳奇被擒。
曼睩重編天都歷史,記載羅喉功勳與罪惡。黃泉回歸,道必不會錯過下次
誅殺羅喉的機會,羅喉讓他留下。
苦滅合一後,妖世浮屠持續往集境伸展,素還真為了上集境示警,請求羅
喉的幫助。黃泉外圍消滅阻饒的邪靈,羅喉以計都刀斬開空間隙縫,並贊一掌
讓素還真登天,又幫助解決襲向白蓮的巨手。幾次襄助正道,正式與佛業雙身
決裂。
羅喉擔心天都將成戰場,欲將曼睩送至寒光一舍躲避戰火,曼睩以陪伴親
人為由拒絕離開,羅喉只能將她交由黃泉保護。後刀無極向楓岫主人借取影神
刀,前往請羅喉一同對抗佛業雙身。羅喉答應,留黃泉於天都保護曼睩,獨自
赴這重生之後最艱難的一戰。
六、終點
妖世浮屠之外,刀無極對上愛禍女戎,羅喉迎戰天蚩極業。極招相向之際,
羅喉不敵重傷,危急時刀無極來援,兩人脫離戰場。
合力擊退追殺而來的滅度三宗之一逆吾非道後,刀無極以解除君家所受邪
天御武之詛咒為由,引羅喉至葬龍壁前。見到葬龍壁上邪天御武雕像的羅喉沉
思之間,背後刀無極影神刀劃過其頸間。原來刀無極為護天五龍之中的叛龍熾
燄赤麟,為得邪天御武功力斬殺羅喉,灑其血於葬龍壁上。
得知羅喉身亡的黃泉憤怒離開天都,受到計都刀的指引來到葬龍壁前。空
間異變,最後的身影出現在前。羅喉將力量傳予黃泉,讓他能繼承自己,終結
宿命,並還原自己身亡真正的畫面。黃泉得知真相後帶著羅喉的遺願離開。
七、小評羅喉
羅喉是一名充滿矛盾的角色,以滅世武君的身份現身江湖,萬世驚懼,但
在幾次爭戰之中,愛才惜才的特殊領袖魅力也展現無遺,尊敬勇者、欣賞智者。
他傲視群倫,對擁有的力量絕對自信,不會為達勝利而耍小手段,但也非無智
橫衝直撞的莽夫。
這樣強勢的君主,卻從不為自己在歷史上背的罪名辯說,孤獨走著這無人
理解的道路,直到重傷之後才對曼睩道出一切,更坦然接受黃泉的復仇。
羅喉也有溫柔的一面,面對結義兄弟的後代君曼睩,雖一開始便知道她是
為接近自己就近觀察而來,他仍和顏以對,從未拒絕過她任何請求,迴龍三巔
戰後落難時,也不顧自身,遺言要黃泉保障她的安全。
重出後的羅喉,放棄挑起戰亂,轉而幫助正道。雖然羅喉口中不承認,但
對於正道因聽了楓岫主人的解釋後對他態度改變這件事,的確得到被認同的感
覺,渴望被理解、信任,重新找回最初消滅邪天御武時的初衷,也才會正式與
過去的盟友佛業雙身決裂。幫助正道的他,作風比第二段人生時的做為更加積
極。
他是那種「別人認為我是哪種人,便絕對不可讓人失望」的性格,之前被
誤解為暴君,他便忠實地表現出暴君做惡的一面;當別人認為他是救世希望時,
他也義不容辭地接下拯救眾生的任務。
如同楓岫主人所說,「救世武君死了,死在被竄改的歷史之下;滅世羅喉
也死了,死在黃泉那一槍之下。」第三段的人生,羅喉選擇的是打從內心真正
認同的道路,雖然最後死得冤枉,但在傳承給最後的知己--黃泉之後,也算
是畫下了一個完整的句點。

後記:
禮拜二(1/19)的時候,花了一整天時間,把這篇文章整理出來,
那時也沒多想,只覺得再不整理,羅喉退場我會傷心地什麼事都做不成。
當時我寫完的時候,心裡雖知不可能,但只願這是一篇永遠寫不完的傳說,
沒想到隔天就看到那另人心驚的預言...不是,是情報。
星期五看完片,心裡充滿了悲傷和...髒話...
等到稍冷靜下來,總算還記得要把這篇修改、補完,只是心情更加複雜。
最難寫的是第一段「過去的歷史記載」,因為已經知道真相的我,
實在很難再用形容一位暴君的口吻來寫這段歷史。
第二段人生的部份,很多片段也很難取捨,
未修改過的原文其實更多,但一些比較不影響大局的片段還是被我省略掉了,
像是羅喉找少獨行,卻意外同時對上三刀、天刀來天都找他討人的部份、
羅喉找阿猋的片段等。另外,這裡頭講黃泉的部份也很多,
雖然多少加了點自己的私心,但他們兩個的故事本來就息息相關的不是嗎?
最後的「小評羅喉」只算是我一點點感想,
有些人的看法不同,或是整理的內文中有所疏漏、錯誤,
也歡迎提出...感謝讀文...<(_ _)>

羅喉戒璽被長心戴上之後,後來被金好牙搶走,交給宗喀爾,
宗喀爾就叫人丟到摩羅之海去囉!
因為中間過程和羅喉比較沒關係,所以就簡略帶過。
雖然我很期待這一篇永遠是「未完結」,
但應該是不可能的...
我覺得叫《羅喉本紀》比較適合...XD
剛剛突然想到,要用本紀的話不能直呼帝王名諱,
應該是《武君本紀》才對...XDDDD
雖然我還是習慣直接稱羅喉啦...
