【「沒有離婚，我就不會遇到真命天子」：與湯姆克魯斯離婚 20 年不後悔，這是妮可基嫚的理由】

近年，影后 #妮可基嫚 事業再創高峰，睽違 3 年挑戰小螢幕《The Uudoing》讓人見識爐火純青的演技，她即將推出的懸疑新作《Nine Perfect Strangers》同樣備受矚目，是娛樂圈裡聲勢屹立不搖的女神。

感情生活中，妮可基嫚第一段婚姻是跟動作巨星 #湯姆克魯斯，維持 10 年後離婚； 2006 年，妮可基嫚嫁給鄉村歌手 #基斯厄本，育有兩個女兒。

即便與湯姆克魯斯的關係是過去式，多年來，媒體始終不放過妮可基嫚，總是喜歡探問她對前夫的看法。

日前妮可基嫚的朋友向媒體吐露，當初離婚造成妮可基嫚撕心裂肺的打擊，「直到後來遇見基斯厄本，他們互相包容跟深愛對方，她覺得幸好自己離婚了，否則就遇不到這個男人。」

—

妮可基嫚和基斯厄本結婚 15 年，女方數度提到，在丈夫面前她可以放心做自己。

基斯從未干涉她的工作情況，就算拍親熱戲也不介意，也不會要求要讀她的劇本，「他每次看我作品都是已經剪輯好的完整版，除非我想說，否則他對我的片場狀況也不過問，就是一個『觀眾』身份。」

妮可基嫚認為基斯完全尊重她的事業，源於他是音樂人，對自身工作同樣精益求精，她說：「我老公很認真在成就自己的事情，才會同理我、給我很大的創作自由。」

丈夫預計 8 月底要巡迴演出，妮可基嫚坦言絕對會想念他，但他們早已習慣聚少離多的工作模式，也盡量錯開彼此的工作行程，以便輪流照顧兩個女兒，「我跟基斯已經討論出一個共識要維繫這個家庭。」

訪談尾聲，妮可基嫚拋出一段話：

「婚姻跟家庭就是充滿不平衡，但我們都有決心去戰勝這個不平衡，其實直到現在，我們都沒有一個維繫關係的答案。」

「我跟基斯只確定一件事就是：任何變化與失控的局面，依然無法真正損耗我們的信任關係。」

妮可基嫚的肺腑之言，連記者都在文末下註解：這不是隊友，什麼才是？

—

此時，必須得回顧妮可基嫚和前夫湯姆克魯斯的 10 年婚姻。

統整各家外媒報導，大抵是湯姆克魯斯的個性本位主義，事事喜歡控制、不願意改變，最經典例子就是湯姆克魯斯的身高不高，妮可基嫚的身高卻有 180 公分，經常被湯姆克魯斯要求連袂出席活動時只能穿低跟或平底鞋。

這段婚姻，她一直在配合。

離婚後妮可基嫚清醒，自己傾盡全力去愛沒有錯，但這份愛必須平衡，必須交給一個同樣懂愛的伴侶。

但是妮可基嫚在 2015 年接受英國《標準晚報》專訪時有緩頰，稱當年與湯姆克魯斯結婚才 23 歲，「大家還只是個 baby 」，既然兩人都愛過，沒什麼好後悔。

總之，妮可基嫚如今覓得基斯厄本，雙方相伴至今；而湯姆克魯斯後來與女星 #凱蒂荷姆斯 結婚，依然離婚收場，回歸單身生活，他曾坦承不太想結婚了，興許這是比較適合他的選擇。

—

「婚姻跟家庭就是充滿不平衡，但我們都有決心去戰勝這個不平衡。」

妮可基嫚的話，與其針對婚姻，我認為更像是一種對「長期關係」的通透理解。

如果說單身時，我們必須獨自面對生活猝不及防的變化，那麼進入關係裡，自然便是「兩個人」要一起迎接人生接二連三的不穩定，真相是，今天無論我有伴還是沒伴，我的生命註定與失控相伴、與改變為伍。

穩定關係，本身就是偽命題。

實際上，重大變故或日常瑣事，光一個人解決就已經夠煩心，倘若和伴侶生活，彼此個性碰撞產生的變因，加上外部因素如雙方家庭、生孩子、生病出意外，日子更是三不五時就動盪不安，我敢說，這比單身時要面對的改變還難解。

然而，雖然己欲立而立人，但若想要關係長久，你很難不考慮到另一半。

所以，你和對方都必須具備某種意識：今天我和你在一起，除了我愛你、我喜歡你，更重要地是，我已經準備好不管路途多艱險，這些「外部因素」永遠都無法撼動我跟你之間的「內在信念」。

再怎麼磨合，再怎麼爭吵，再怎麼嘗試，我跟你彼此都很確定、絕對不會輕易說離開。

—

兵家典籍《孫子兵法》提到：「我可以往，彼可以來，曰通。通形者，先居高陽，利糧道，以戰則利。」

一個地方，如果你可以去，敵人也可以來，這叫做「通」，倘若你現在正在「通」的狀態，你要先找到一個高點位置，保持運送糧食的順暢，這樣戰爭就可以打贏了。

孫子這句話，講的是打仗時要觀察地理位置；但談感情，這段話我認為是可以通用的。

倘若你想要擁有一段長期的革命情誼（通），你跟對方的溝通必須坦承（利糧道），另外，你們要找到一個「高點」位置（先居高陽），並以「那個位置」為基準，確保你們的關係能維持平衡。

那個位置，到底是什麼？對我來說，就是信念。

雙方有信念，才能有耐性去抓這份平衡，也不會覺得抓平衡就是「喪失自我」，畢竟你就是在一段親密關係裡呀，哪能不考慮別人？

而關係，就是今天你狀態不好，我就傾斜一點；明天我情緒很大，你就讓步一些。雙方給點時間嘗試與摸索，終至形成一種共識。

「再怎麼失控與變化，我跟基斯彼此相信。」

這是一種對自己、對伴侶的強烈的安全感，妮可基嫚才有辦法得出這個結論。

不只 15 年，我堅信妮可基嫚和基斯厄本，他們會繼續迎向下一個 15 年。

【學國學讀歷史，看《古人比你更會玩2》比較快】
＃上週獲得《弄懂 6~12歲孩子的內心 x 情緒 x行為》兩位幸運粉絲是
＃Emily Yeh 、 ＃Carol Chao

暑假過後，三三就要升上五年級了，面對新學期，三三要適應的是更多的史地國學知識大量撲天而來。學習知識，可以非常嚴肅的面對，但總少了那麼點樂趣，畢竟現階段的孩子並不想成為研究者，因此在知識的吸收上，我仍希望三三能以愉快輕鬆一點的方式進行。

為了能讓三三愉快的進行知識吸收，我特地做了前置工作的準備，觀摩市面上成功的熱銷書籍是最好的方式。

上週，《古人比你更會玩》上下冊終於來了，等了超級久，迫不及待展開書的內容後我驚為天人，作者用輕鬆（漫畫）的方式，以揶揄的口吻，不知不覺傳遞國學的知識，以及歷史故事，太了不起了。

而且有許多我過去從來不知道的小歷史，每一則都讓我震驚三觀。

例如第一冊：

豬肉在宋代，是階級地位比較低的人才會吃的肉類，你信嗎？

如果這是真的，那最高階級的肉，是什麼肉？皇宮貴族吃的肉，又是什麼肉？

原來成語「一言九鼎」的「九鼎」可以窺見端倪。

所謂九鼎，就是九種食物，而排在前三位食物，分別是：牛、羊、豬。所以這三樣肉類在古代，都屬於高級食物，但牛是農耕的重要關鍵，是非常珍貴的所以皇帝下令禁止宰殺牛隻。沒了牛肉可吃，皇宮裡的皇上自然吃起肉類排行第二的羊肉。每個貴族也因此爭相將吃羊肉視為最高等享受。

當大家都在吃羊肉，只有你吃豬肉，無論在心裡或外在，都會被視為低人一等的生活。

「是周公制禮，天子日食大牢，則諸侯日食少牢。──孔穎達《禮記正義》」

所謂大牢，正是只九鼎中前三鼎的食物，原來階級地位低的人，吃豬肉，是這麼來的呀。

又例如第二冊：

為什麼古代皇帝的衣服，為什麼周朝是紅色，秦朝又改成黑色，最後元朝卻是黃色？為什麼帽子不能是綠色？

原來這些記載於「正謂黃赤青白黑，五方正色也。──《禮記》」，所謂五正色就是應對金木水火土的五德，所以歷朝歷代的皇帝，都有偏好的德，而挑選的顏色，也依循正色原理，而不是混合出來的「間色」。在正色裡頭，「青色」是偏向藍色，而非現今我們所熟知的「綠色」，因此在古代的服飾中，是不太出現綠色，更別說帽子了。

這些知識，都是以輕鬆的漫畫呈現，而知識穿梭其中，是非常好閱讀的。

看完書後，我將書隨意放在書桌上，雖然書目對我來說很好閱讀，但要引導三三進入這類的書籍閱讀，我還在思量該怎麼進行，畢竟這裡頭都是國學常識和歷史，這對三三而言，並非興趣所在。

然而書放不到一天，三三看到後，居然自動拿起書來翻閱，而且一翻就聽不下來，簡直進入自動導航閱讀狀態，不時還能聽到三三竊笑的聲音，完全不用我解釋或引導。

這兩本書，簡直是三三即將進入小五之，面對龐大歷史與國學磨練前，最好的閱讀書目，讓原本對歷史本來就不太喜歡的三三，輕易的滑進知識領域的閱讀神書。

全書共有100+條文獻參考，包含《史記》、《左傳》、《孟子》、《論語》、《禮記》、《明史》、《資治通鑒》、《中國紀行》、《太平廣記》等著作，以及大量的唐詩宋詞。

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.

主要內容：北緯30°•中國行（9）： 1、瀟灑桐廬； 2、富春江：水碧山青畫不如； 3、富春江：桐廬夜色； 4、桐廬：項氏內家拳； 5、桐廬：高空獅子； 6、深澳古村：千年未改古風醇； 7、深澳古村：明代水系。
深澳村位於富春江南應家溪畔，隸屬桐廬縣江南鎮，西距縣城16.5公里，地處丘陵地帶，南望天子崗，東瀕黃山，地勢南高北低。應家溪串起青源、環溪、徐畈、深澳、荻浦五個“中國傳統村落”，其中深澳村為國家級歷史文化名村。深澳村悠久的文化傳統源自南宋申屠氏的開村之功。作為申屠氏的血緣村落，深澳村95%以上的村民姓申屠，其他少數姓為周、應、朱。明代時，村落規劃留下了一個完整的地下水系，水系的水源來自山上的泉水，清甜甘冽、冬暖夏涼，至今還是深受村民喜愛的生活用水，而取水、用水的澳口更成為深澳村獨特的文化風景點。“澳”在當地話中是“地下井”的意思，深藏地下的井即為深澳，深澳村古時稱同裡，也因深澳而得名。
深澳村呈長方形，中有老街，卵石鋪面，下築引泉暗渠，古村因水得名，以水為脈。村中絕大多數人複姓申屠，祖先于南宋初由富陽申屠山遷入，子孫繁衍遂成望族。走在深澳，就像“踩”在水上，先民引自然之水，營造了一個個延續數百上千年的水系格局，堪稱“雖由人作，宛自天開”。深澳村另一道風景線是位於地下水系之上的古民居建築群，主要集中了明朝、清朝和民國三個時期的建築，大致分佈在南北走向的老街兩側的弄堂裡。老街長約200余米，寬僅3米，建於元末明初，盛於民國期間，兩側建築為清中後期及民國建築，多為店鋪，曾有“小上海”之譽。村裡現存明清時期的古建築140多幢，民國時期的建築60多幢，無論是單體建築，還是村落形態，都保存得相當完好。除了地面和地下的兩道景觀外，深澳村還保留了一項省級非物質文化遺產—高空獅子的傳統民間技藝，每逢元宵、廟會等節日，村民們都用這一技藝來增添喜慶氣氛。深澳的高空獅子表演起源於清乾隆年間，是應當地村民舉辦廟會而生。經過數百年的歷史變遷，表演已經遍佈桐廬、富陽、新登等地。日前，浙江省文化廳公佈了2016年浙江省民間文化藝術之鄉名單，桐廬江南鎮深澳高空獅子就名列其中。高空獅子搶繡球主要包括一對雌雄獅子，各長1.5米左右，通體金毛，腿部繪有神火，下顎能夠上下自由滑動。其腰身用竹篾圈連而成，故能上下左右扭動。獅子由偶頭、籠腹、四肢、提線和勾牌組成，內設機關，以提線木偶的形式進行表演，能變出多種表情，妙趣橫生。將雌雄一對獅子懸掛在4米多高的橫向毛竹杆上，將獅子的頭部和臀部兩個著力點系上繩頭，雙獅中間掛一直徑50公分的繡球，獅子對視，各長1.5米左右，通體金毛。橫杆長5米左右，兩頭固定在兩個人字叉架上。表演時，一人拉動繡球，一人拉獅子，一先一後使雙獅隨繡球上下同步追逐繡球，直到抓住為止。故拉繡球者與拉獅子者鬥智鬥勇，配合默契。鼓樂相伴，雙獅搶球，表演精彩，氣氛熱烈。表演隊伍一般在37~50人之間，具體人數看場面需要而定。作為一項傳統表演，高空獅子搶繡球凝聚著古代勞動人民的心血和智慧，極具觀賞價值和人文價值。由於社會變革，解放後一度停止，直到 1989年深澳老年協會成立，負責人申屠國梅提議，為活躍農村文化生活，聘請申屠永清、申屠增榮等重新製作，並於當年春節到鄰村進行巡演，活動增添了新時代內容，被邀請參加了縣舉辦的民間藝術展示活動。近年來，江南鎮鎮村兩級對其採取了積極的保護措施，目前已被列入省、市、縣非物質文化遺產保護目錄。現在，深澳高空獅子的傳統工藝、表演技巧和表演裝飾品經過挖掘、整理，已通過文檔、音像等形式進行保存。同時，這些年也恢復了常態性表演，每年都會在本村及周邊地區巡演，並積極培養年輕人的興趣，讓他們也加入到傳承和保護下來。
