#我的室友陳小姐是個鬼

「蘇小姐！」

午休時間，我剛拎著買好的便當回到公司，就聽見了這個聲音，我的好心情登時消失大半。

我回過頭，果然是那個外送員。

或者應該說，曾經接過我的單的外送員Ａ。

我自認長得普普通通，大部分時間還板著臉，從來沒想過被一見鍾情這種事會發生在我身上。

而且我才不姓蘇，只是暱稱有個蘇字而已。

Ａ說他在那次外送對我一見鍾情，想和我做個朋友。

我沒興趣，拒絕了他。

他起初在公司大樓外和我多次「偶遇」，然後今天直接堵到我公司門口。

大樓對訪客的管理不夠嚴格確實讓人頭痛。

Ａ的手裡拿著一杯飲料，笑容靦腆，「這個請妳。」

「不用。」我三言兩語地想結束我們之間的對話，「我們不熟，你別再出現，我很困擾。」

「多相處就會熟了，妳可以給我機會嘛。」Ａ不屈不撓，飲料往前遞。

「我們不適合。」

「妳沒和我相處過怎麼知道？」

啊，這人好煩。我下班要去跟管理員抗議，怎麼可以輕易就放人上來？

我對Ａ視而不見，只想趕緊刷卡進去公司。

Ａ卻在門快關上的時候猛然上前一步，想將飲料塞進來。

我還沒做出反應，有人先把那杯飲料接下了。

「我幫小蘇謝謝你了。」組長笑咪咪地說，「年輕真好啊，加油喔。」

Ａ笑得更靦腆了，心滿意足地離去。

「小蘇啊，別人的心意別隨便拒絕嘛。」組長自動自發地把飲料放到我桌上。

「我已經拒絕他了，很多次。」等等我就要把飲料拿去倒，「我不知道他為什麼還要過來。」

「那一定是妳拒絕得太委婉。」組長摸摸下巴，「如果真不喜歡他，就強硬一點，不要給人希望啊。」

「好的沒問題，我下次直接報警。」我做出保證。

「妳這也太強硬了，怎麼不給人留點面子？」組長看我的表情就像是孺子不可教。

「……最煩這種人了。」和我感情不錯的同事靠過來，我們除了是菸友之外，也是宵夜友。她對著組長的背影大翻白眼，「話都是他在講，出事了肯定又會跳出來說ＮＯＴ ＡＬＬ ＭＡＮ。委婉不行，不委婉也不行。」

同事對我攤攤雙手，一臉無語。

「難不成要委婉與不委婉之間，薛定諤的拒絕嗎？」

這句話戳到我笑點，讓我大笑起來。

聽見笑聲的組長回過頭，大概是我面無表情大笑的樣子嚇到他，他緊皺眉頭，嘟噥幾句又快步離開。

一下班，和管理員說明了Ａ的事，我這才拎著包包往回家的路上走。

公司離我住的那棟公寓不會太遠，大概半小時的路程，我都當成運動。

走著走著，我就聽見後面有腳步聲。

我沒放在心上，只以為是其他行人。

但是當我彎進巷子裡，腳步聲還是緊跟在我後面的時候，我開始覺得有些不對勁了。

我走路的速度沒有減慢或加快，而是拿出手機，將相機轉成自拍模式，透過鏡頭看見後面的景象。

是Ａ。

Ａ跟在我後面，他在尾隨我。

我突然的轉身顯然嚇到Ａ，他露出慌張的表情，隨後又擺出笑臉。

「嗨，好巧。」

「巧你媽。」我冷漠地說，「別跟著我，不然我報警。」

「我只是碰巧在這遇到妳，剛好順路嘛。」Ａ還是嘻皮笑臉的。

我不想再多理會這個人，乾脆加快速度往自個住的地方跑。

我聽到Ａ在後面笑了一聲，腳步聲依舊緊追在我身後不遠處。

大概覺得我真傻，直接曝露地址。

我住的地方是棟老公寓，自然也不會有警衛或管理員，門口處是一扇油漆有些剝落的紅鐵門，門後是水泥樓梯，扶手也是鐵繡斑斑。

腳步聲進來公寓裡了。

我站在樓梯上，轉過身，看見Ａ滿臉愉快地仰頭望著我。

「我警告過你了。」我說，「既然你這麼想不開，乾脆別當人了吧。」

Ａ只當我是在講笑話，「不當人，當妳男朋友嗎？」

「當然不是。」

幽幽細細的聲音替我回答。

Ａ愣了一下，他的表情先是茫然，接著轉成驚恐，他的眼睛越瞪越大，彷彿要從眼眶裡突出來。

一隻半透明的手臂從我肩後探出來，垂在我的胸前。

就算不用回頭，我也可以想像出我身後的畫面。

黑長髮的年輕女人對Ａ露出微笑，「來當鬼呀。」

我從來沒跟別人說過，我有個室友，她姓陳，我都叫她陳小姐。

她是個鬼。

Ａ的雙腳發顫，臉上早就找不出一絲得意的神情，他從喉嚨裡擠出怪異的哽咽聲，想要往後退。

但顯然他退不了。

站在高處的我可以看得一清二楚。

一、二、三、四、五、六、七。

七個半透明的鬼魂包圍在Ａ身邊。

Ａ不知道，我住的不止是一棟老舊的公寓，還是一棟赫赫有名的凶宅。

除了陳小姐以外，還有七名非自然原因死亡的房客一直留在這。

——我是故意讓他跟進來的。

※ ※ ※

我對Ａ最後會怎樣不感興趣，反正他也不可能真的當成鬼。

外面可是有監視器，我可不希望自己成了嫌疑犯。

我比較在意另一件事。

「陳小姐，麻煩手拿開，妳摸到我胸部了。」

地下屋開箱✨

星期三的午後，小編和阿帆一同走訪他的老家—傳統建築地下屋。
.
野銀部落是現今蘭嶼保存最多、最完整地下屋的地方，因為當年蔣宋美齡巡視蘭嶼，準備拆除傳統建築、興建國宅時，阿文的爸爸林新羽議員極力反對，才讓這些建築被保存下來。
.
在依山傍水的屋子外，我們坐在石頭上看著大海，任時間緩緩的流；「台灣的金窩、銀窩，都比不上蘭嶼的狗窩」曾在台工作十幾年的海馬這麼說。
.
傳統的地下屋是以茅草作屋頂，空氣流通、有冬暖夏涼之效，但後來改以鐵皮搭建後，內部實在悶熱，已無人居住，大多成為觀光導覽的景點。

頂著高溫與汗水，我與阿帆進入低矮的地下屋，聽他講解每個器具的功能、屋瓦樑柱的功法，老人們的生活智慧於焉展現現；歲月在靜躺的木頭刻紋裡拂上一層灰，被傍晚的斜陽曬得很閃亮。

傳統之美正熠熠生輝。
.
我想，懷舊從來不是落伍，因為唯有知道自己從哪裡走來，才能看清未來該前往何方。
所以失落的文化不該被失根，因為我們都流淌著同樣的血脈。
.
走出房子後，家門口的靠背石依然沈靜地矗立，彷彿在這樣浮躁的年代，在族群認同與流行文化的沖刷考驗下，我們永遠不必擔心迷航。

回家，就是你的靠山。

.
圖說：
1.歲月把精緻的面龐鑿成細水長流
2.陽光正好，宜入屋
3.4.老房子把時光沉澱成穩靜的擺設
5.只有大戶人家的房子，才能刻上榮耀的紋路
6.7.「該下海了。」
所有的魚頭禽骨，都是光榮的勳章
8.寶刀不會變老，只要遇到惡靈，永遠都能逢凶化吉
9.懸浮的時光，凝結於老屋的窗角
10.累了就回家吧，這裡永遠是你的靠山

「地獄空」攝影集即將在八月中元節前出版，由知名設計師與攝影家黃子欽設計，內附在下二位高徒精美繪製符咒、心經版畫書籤、愣嚴咒牌、尊勝咒語...等，感恩十方大德助印，希望疫情退散，平安喜樂，後記如下：

野放台灣五十餘年，貪狼獨坐，三方四正殺破狼格局，少年多舛，白手起家，隨展覽雲遊四海，如閒雲野鶴常持各類底片機流連廢墟、山川、宮廟忘返，遂設幻影堂自詡堂主，一日三省「凡所有相皆是虛妄」，常宅於暗房沖片放大通宵、鍾情黑白世界之單純，彩色照片俗世繽紛花俏做作甜美甚至比現實更現實故少拍也。知天命之年有餘，了悟人生一瞬、眨眼即逝，雖非仙人，亦無道骨，初聞離垢地生清淨心，但離華嚴「不動地」尚遠，待修持也。
2017年盛暑拍畢《巨神連線》，心律不整差點心肌梗塞向閻羅王報到，意識死神隨伺在側，人生苦短，如何了生脫死、盡斷煩惱、無所罣礙、遠離顛倒……總不得解，蒙釋迦摩尼佛開示飆淚三晝夜，聞佛法數載始知自我渺如塵埃，甚感慚愧。閒暇乃參訪名寺古剎，禮敬焚香佛陀菩薩羅漢諸神天仙王爺媽娘，台灣宮廟千奇百怪、宗派錯綜複雜（佛教、道教、一貫道、天主教、基督教、齋教、回教＆大同教、儒教鑾堂、天帝教＆天德教、慈惠堂＆勝安宮、軒轅教、道院、理教、萬國道德會、會靈山……）、神棍橫行（依人不依法、偶像崇拜、斂財、邪淫），因歷史變遷、社會動盪、政治鬥爭、意識形態等因素導致佛道混雜，但地獄造景稀少，後專注拍攝各殿閻王、判官、陰司、獄卒、七爺、八爺乃至一切罪人，各寺造景巧妙、耐人尋味，意境乖張溢於言表，造型扭曲非常人所能塑也，然匠心獨運、自成一格，專研西方藝術數十載方知真誠樸拙最美，絲毫不輸喬托（Giotto di Bondone，1267～1337）乃至米開朗基羅（Michelangelo Di lodovico Buonarroti Simoni 1475 ~ 1564）矣。

創立於1986年的石門金剛宮風景優美可眺望北濱，雖主祀四面佛，儒釋道眾神尊也不含糊，可過七星橋解厄、繞行五百黝黑羅漢敲鑼印心、跪拜亞洲最大臥佛涅槃像，安太歲自不在話下，甲子太歲爺雙眼長出手掌印象甚深，1994年經閻羅王指示廟公建造一條肚內設極樂世界及陰曹地府之神龍，行走暗黑通道觸動感應機關，只見面容猙獰受刑者呼天搶地喊冤、身邊盡是血肉糢糊殘肢敗屍腦漿塗地，十殿閻羅各司其職、威儀攝人。新北市林口區青嶺湖北文紫祥宮包公廟則以壁面彩塑地獄浮雕獨步全台，粉嫩色彩搭配卡漫風格，尤為造型簡直恐怖到可愛透頂，該廟主祀森羅殿閻羅天子包拯（包青天），陽世冤屈者可至此參拜祭解，求破懸案者眾，逢中元普渡皆以紙紮船渡亡魂至彼岸，全台唯一閻羅天子巨像籌備中，四周環繞墓地，適合修不淨觀也。台灣首尊彰化八卦山大佛旁南天宮（1971）地府則是首座電動地府，規模精小但驚嚇度破表，略顯破敗但五光十色仍蠻凶悍，出自已故台南大道長金登富之作，而電動神明起始可追溯至1960年代北港朝天宮。倒是嘉義水上鄉白人牙膏觀光工廠「戴相府」、「將軍府」設置十殿地府出乎意料之外，乾淨亮麗、ㄧ殿ㄧ間、簡單樸實。由高雄蓮潭龍虎塔龍口入內可見全臺唯一交趾陶地獄牆面，尊尊栩栩如生，續入龍身乃進聞聲救苦白衣觀音大士三十三化身浮雕隧道，造型設色甚為古錐。高雄大岡山超峰寺入口處「西方三聖蓮池海會」（阿彌陀佛、觀世音菩薩、大勢至菩薩巨像）旁設靜態十殿閻羅（1970年代初），雖略為陳舊然韻味猶存，續往上行可抵「證菩提道－釋迦如來應化事迹」雕塑園區，一攬世尊畢生精華。如來年邁時，琉璃國王為報長期被釋迦族輕蔑之傲慢心，世尊雖三次單獨伽跌坐 阻擋大軍進攻之路，但因緣果報無法逆轉，昔日婢女所生王子瞋恨無以復加，還是滅了祖國。自持神通第一目犍連不忍無辜百姓慘遭屠殺，遂以缽盛救度五百族人，最終卻化為血水，佛言神通廣大仍不敵千百劫業力，因緣果報屢試不爽。其母死後墜入餓鬼道飢餓難耐，目犍連遂展神通救渡，但所食尚未入口皆化為赤火，佛陀囑咐農曆七月十五日僧眾解安居自恣日，於盆中設甘露美食供養十方僧眾，因此超度亡母。後世「盂蘭盆法會」乃至「水懺法會」、「瑜珈焰口法會 」皆為消業障、斷塵垢之超渡儀軌，既渡亡魂也自懺悔。

台南麻豆代天府規模宏大、造型豔麗，不但可遊十八層地獄尚可逛天堂（1979年興建，1983年開放)，燈光絢爛、聲響駭人，獨自漫步宛如觀落陰、地獄走一回。先過「心頭山」、入「清心池」、進「陰陽界」、抵「交簿廳」、達「鬼門關」、遊「補經所」、探「枉死城」、行「奈何橋」，至ㄧ殿泰廣王照「孽鏡台」現造惡原形，睹抱柱、火床等小地獄。二殿楚江王開「陰查簿 」判案定奪，觀糞尿泥、餓鬼、舞池、寒冰、膿血、鞭韃、舌犁、劍葉、戟腹拋接、砧截……等小地獄。三殿宋帝王刑罰為倒吊、銅鐵刮臉、挖眼、搗樁、倒烤、吸血、穿肋、抽筋、蛆蛀等小地獄……兼遊「四生（胎、卵、濕、化）回魂府」。四殿五官王掌管腰斬、拔舌、沸湯、刺嘴、剝皮、箭樹、車崩、射眼……等十六小地獄。隨五殿森羅王豋「望鄉臺」回眸親人最終眼後觀擊膝、誅心、刀山、飛刀火石……小地獄。六殿卞城王別稱「大叫喚大地獄」，轄火牛、虎啖、噬腎、鉗嘴含鍼、釘喉、磨摧、砍頭……等小地獄。七殿泰山王為「熱惱大地獄」，窺烙手指、抽腸、頂石蹲身、油釜滾烹、割舌穿腮……等十六小地獄。八殿都市王掌管「大熱惱大地獄」兼火狗、鐵汁、鐵蛇、鋸劈斷肢、釘板、灸脊、鐵丸、磅秤……等小地獄。九殿平等王直轄十八層「阿鼻大地獄」，直透地心、內中陰森、不見五指、滿溢地漿，皆為極犯，另轄紫赤毒蛇鑽孔、夾頂、鐵鴉、針雨、蜂蠍……等小地獄。至十殿輪轉王上「觀生臺」、「轉劫所八司」（查驗司 、稽善司 、考過司 、恩怨司 、壽命司 、支配司、掌劫司 、授生司）後至「孟婆亭」飲「醧忘湯」忘盡前塵往事，依前世功德過金、銀、玉、石、木、竹六種橋樑至「轉輪臺（紫河車）」入六道輪迴轉生投胎。據《十八泥犁經》記載，人過世後七七四十九天為「中陰生」，經閻羅王審判善惡業力判定去留或懲罰百千萬劫，犯五逆重罪則墮入「無間地獄（阿鼻地獄）」永劫不復。地藏王乃幽冥教主，統轄十殿閻羅，逢三曹普渡便在各殿設「講道所」超度尚存善根之鬼魂。

人類居於五趣（阿修羅、人、傍生、餓鬼、地獄）雜居地五濁惡世之堪忍世界，犯十惡業（殺生、偷盜、邪淫、妄語、兩舌、惡口、綺語、貪慾、嗔恚、愚痴）者必墮三趣惡道。如何出「三界」（欲界、色界、無色界）二十八天？凡人無此意識，別說能破「十二因緣」（無明、行、識、名色、六入、觸、受、愛、取、有、生、老死）還滅門，更別想斷除「四聖諦」（苦、集、滅、道）集地八十一品見惑與八十八使思惑（五利使-身見、邊見、邪見、見取見、戒禁取見、五鈍使-貪、瞋、癡、慢、疑），了悟「五蘊」（色、受、想、行、識）本空、「十二入」（眼、耳、鼻、舌、意、色、聲、香、味、觸、法）空、「十八界」空，破俱生我執與分別我執、法執甚至空執，生十一處「善心所」（信、精進、慚、愧、無貪、無瞋、無痴、輕安、不放逸、行捨、不害），降二十六處「惡心所」（貪、瞋、癡、慢、疑、惡見、忿、恨、覆、惱、嫉、慳、誑、諂、害、憍、無慚、無愧、掉舉、惛沉、不信、懈怠、放逸、失念、散亂、不正知），須知善根斷盡則陷永劫輪迴、無垠轉世之苦。

地獄可能空滅嗎？若地獄空乏人間多鬼怪，地獄淨空世間何嘗非淨土？若能證空性何處現地獄？

地獄曠古來便廣泛流傳各部族間，老死生滅為自然運行之基礎、宇宙意識之核心，然今文明昌盛如咱城邦並非慾望消弭之所，惡性所及實無可根除，礙於憲法國家法律社會軍隊企業公司學校家庭團體之層層束縛不亞於十八層，乃遁於壓抑、束己情懷，暗埋心底、日久貪嗔痴慢疑怨噌會疊穢。而六塵未熄，心多妄念，妖魔鬼怪魑魅魍魎孤魂閃靈出沒於荒郊乃至人間，會靈於曠野密林以增性靈乃出世高人修煉之舉，我等凡人擅闖宛如迪士尼般之人造地獄，三魂七魄尚不足以出竅，驚邪恐怖淒厲猙獰倒滿足了自以為是的慚愧，豈不謬哉？

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.

151230蘋果掀房事第四十三集 名宅法拍大搜查
影片網址→https://youtu.be/xb7ZCUDjPVA

【豪宅房市有回溫的跡象嗎？】
1. 豪宅市場在2015年第四季有稍微回溫一點，主要是因為「舊制節稅」、「年前賣，避土增稅調漲，提前讓利給買方」等2大因素，而現在進場的，都是剛性自住自用需求、而且是中長期持有的買方，才願意選擇年前進場。

2. 有成交量不代表價格有支撐，最近陸續看到的幾個特殊的物件，例如《宜華國際》39樓成交破290萬，其實同社區低樓層也有14x~170萬，主要是因為樓層高低景觀有所不同，另外，現在高總價、高單價，下修其實是蠻明顯的，幅度大約都有1成左右。

【分享豪宅法拍小故事】
故事一：
台北市某個知名豪宅遭到法拍，一戶總價就至少要超過2億元以上。有一個年輕人，基於某些原因(不方便提及)，不小心標到了。

因為總價破2億，銀行若要代墊款，要送總行審核，需要時間比較長，無法在短時間內申請通過。這位年輕人因為確實頗年輕的，對於財力證明/資金流向難以舉證(無法證明自己為何年紀輕輕就有錢到可以去買豪宅)，所以會有「贈與稅」的問題(如果錢是長輩給/借的話)。

於是，這位年輕人只好選擇棄標，導致這個豪宅標案，大概過了一兩個月後又再一次重新招標。

最後的結果是：媽媽代替兒子標了下來，但是因為標價足足少了1000萬元，所以媽媽雖然用比兒子還便宜1000萬的價錢買到了，但兒子還是要從當初的保證金當中扣除1000萬給法院做為賠償。
--
故事二：
某個老闆，因為經營不善，導致「廠房」被法拍，雖然不是豪宅，而且總價也不是上億，大概是4xxx萬，然而這個法拍事件的特殊點在於↓

點交時，因為裡面有許多化學物品，所以還特別找了環保署的人來檢查，評估裡面的東西要如何處理，最後，還特別找了處理化學物品的公司來回收。

因為一般的法拍屋，仍在屋子裡面有價值的動產，通常就直接拿去做「動產拍賣」，可是這次的動產因為是屬於特殊的化學原料，無法拍賣，或者應該說，拍了也沒人要，可是卻又不能當廢棄物處理，會危害環境汙染。

所以這個事件，在當時也是非常有名，難得遇到動產不能/無法法拍，還特別請了環保署的人來檢查評估，最後還特別請了專門處理化學原料的公司來做回收處理。
--
故事三：
以前有一個報社大樓被法拍，因為樓高是一到四層樓，而且整棟都是自動化的報紙生產機器，所以在點交的程序，也是難得罕見拖了將近1年左右才點交完畢。

一般法拍屋的點交，過程大約花3~4個月，可是就是因為裡頭動產的特殊性，導致這個法拍物件拖1年才點交完畢。後來還是因為是原業者，用低於市價行情的價錢，去購買回來處理。
--
【怎麼挑法拍好宅？】
1. 雖然近幾年輿論、媒體總是在吵買法拍屋的最大的風險就在于無法進去屋內檢查屋況，甚至還發生過不小心買到凶宅、輻射屋、漏水屋等等。不過現在法院還是一樣，沒有擔保物件瑕疵責任，也因為沒有辦法100%去查詢，所以能做的也只能土法煉鋼，盡量問，左右鄰居、管理員、或者是附近資深仲介。在投標前，除了到處問之外，假設沒有管理員，也可以按門鈴，搞不好湊巧遇到屋主自住在裡面，這樣就更清楚狀況啦！

2. 盡量挑有點交的法拍屋，通常是屋主自住或者是空屋，狀況也比較不多，行情約為市價的8折，點交的時間大3~4個月；不點交的法拍屋通常更便宜！大約是價6~7折，但遇到的問題會比較多，可能會遇到海蟑螂，被迫收超低廉的房租，租給現有房客直到租約期滿，一直到可以回收到自己使用，通常要花半年、一年、甚至更久的時間。

111009年代觀景變觀墳周董告建商廣告不實
影片網址→http://youtu.be/475ZFAwB9Ck

豪宅鄰墳場 周董怒告建商2011年 10月09日【綜合報導】藝人周杰倫（周董）擁有7億元房產，他的母親葉惠美3年前幫他在新北市淡水區「台北灣」添購一間96坪、要價2756萬元的景觀豪宅預售屋，不料今年3月她登上21樓新屋觀景，竟發現豪宅面臨亂葬崗，觀景變成「觀墳」，她認為建商隱瞞實情，要求解約退款，建商反要求付違約金，周媽媽和周董怒告對方「廣告不實」，要求退還已付的826萬元，並付100萬元懲罰性賠償金。......↓

全案前天開庭，周杰倫與母親都未出庭，委由律師林信和處理。林昨強調：「周家打官司是要討公道，並給建商必要教訓。」周杰倫目前人在新加坡，他所屬的杰威爾音樂昨說：「杰倫支持母親採取法律行動。」

在地面看不到墓
周杰倫買的「台北灣」位於淡海新市鎮，主打海景造鎮社區，已開發1.5萬坪，興建1693戶，當時面高爾夫球場第1排戶每坪開出18萬至26萬元當地新天價，吸引不少台北市置產族，今年4、5月開始交屋。

周家律師林信和昨表示，當初周媽媽去看預售屋時，工地與展示中心不在同一地方，看到的預售屋立體圖旁邊都是茂密的林木，且該建案廣告強調「球場第一排......由大屯山系、觀音山嵐、淡水河景，與球場譜成的如茵極美之境。」都在描述景觀之美，從沒提到會俯瞰到一旁的亂葬崗墳墓區。他說，周媽媽簽約現場是工地，亂葬崗被山坡前排樹木擋住，站在地面根本看不到亂葬崗，若知道有墓地，周媽媽一定不會買。

墳墓已陸續遷移
林信和說，周媽媽今年3月發現觀景變成觀墳後，認為建商隱瞞實情且廣告不實，立刻要求解約及退回已付款項826萬8千元，建商態度強硬表示若要解約，就得付購屋價2756萬元的15%當違約金，金額約413.4萬元。周媽媽不滿表示：「我又不是違約，是你騙我。」認為建商「寶路開發建設」形同詐欺，因此在7月提告建商違反《公平交易法》、《消費者保護法》，並向公平會檢舉。

「台北灣」專案經理陳慶龍昨說，當時寶路開發委託甲山林廣告銷售，已要求現場展示新北市墳墓遷移公文，會出現糾紛，可能是當時銷售人員說明不夠完整。他說，社區旁那塊有墓地的土地因為屬於森林保護區，地上不能有建物，已陸續遷移，近千坪土地由寶路開發負責綠化，該棟其他住戶都未退屋，葉惠美提告，讓他們感到「很悶」。

甲山林廣告昨則回應，承接建案前並不曉得旁邊有墓地，銷售一半才發現有，即向新北市政府提出申請遷移，沒有所謂「未告知」的疏失。

「移屍還是凶宅」
《蘋果》記者昨至現場勘查，發現墓地已遷移，現場已整地完畢。現場陰廟萬善堂廟方人員表示，原址確實都是墳墓。新北市民政局表示，墓地已遷移完畢。不過周家律師林信和強調：「這就像是凶宅，你把屍體移走了，還是凶宅啊！」

對於這起糾紛，行政院公平交易委員會發言人孫立群說，本案在到要交屋階段才發現社區旁有墓地，若建商當初以窗外綠帶景觀為廣告，違背有墳墓之實，就可能觸法。依《公平交易法》相關罰則，廣告虛偽不實最高可罰2500萬元。

下月傳喚周媽媽
新北市政府消保官張佑齊表示，預售屋定型化契約要求銷售人員有義務告知周邊環境瑕疵，如墓地、高壓電塔等嫌惡設施，依據《民法》92條「不作為詐欺」，也就是事實未告知或刻意隱瞞，消費者除可退戶，也能要求減少價金，或進入法律程序，由法院判決。

由於前天開庭時周家律師和建商各說各話，法官為釐清真相，定下月1日傳喚周媽媽葉惠美出庭說明。
