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。

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。

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.

#你好我是接體員 #觀戲心得
這部戲雖然是喜劇，
卻也滿好哭的，只是戴了口罩，
淚水混合鼻水有點喘不過氣，

再多的不捨跟思念，到了人生的終點站，
都將化作一縷青煙，
我們常常為了面子，
拉不下臉對自己親密的人
表達最真實的情感，
只能說愛要勇敢說出口，才能不留遺憾，
很多事情也不用太計較，
來到這裡會發現，
其實大家都是廣大宇宙中的一粒塵埃。

#難得謝幕能拍照
#而且坐3樓還拍的挺清楚

話說第一次看到
#大師兄 的故事是在ptt，
原本以為是靈異故事，
沒想到卻是以平實的敘事手法
描繪出人生百態。

全民大劇團 擷取了大師兄小說裡，
幾則經典的故事，
從不同面向來看人生的終點。

#關於親情
父母不捨女兒突然驟逝，
爸爸在最後道出對女兒的思念。

#關於愛情
同性戀人失去了另一半，
每天來殯儀館站十幾小時，
就為了見愛人最後一面。

#關於霸凌
直播主為了網路的流言非語自殺，
才發現支持者是會離開，
只有爸媽才是真正為了自己離去而難過。

#關於政治黑暗面
為了居住正義參加民運的律師，
直到離去的那一刻，
才知道好友跟老婆雙雙背叛了他。

#關於親子教育
阿嬤因為孫子在破碎家庭長大，
努力給孫子完整的愛，
卻因為對方後來不學好傷透心，
雖然離世了，孫子還是她最大的牽掛。

#關於父子
由於父親喝酒賭博，要母親疲於照顧甚至幫忙還債，又嘲諷男主角 大師兄人生註定失敗，使得他到最後都無法釋懷跟過世的父親和好。

導演 謝念祖 在劇情裡加入
不少嘲諷時事的橋段，
尤其是這位民運律師的故事，
演起來有一點全民大悶鍋的味道，
中間互動橋段還挺有趣，
這裡賣個關子，大家進劇場就知道了，

不想只是講往生者的故事，
於是加了小說中沒有的大體化妝師角色，
成為了大師兄小小的感情線，
大體化妝師也因為看的到往生者，
也擔任起活人與逝者之間溝通的橋樑。

原本在想殯儀館這樣的場景，
在舞台上到底要怎麼呈現？
後來發現是開放式場域，
用燈光的明暗色彩，演員誇張的服裝，
代表四處遊蕩的亡靈和靈堂，
呈現出比較活潑輕快的空間，
讓我想到了動畫電影 #可可夜總會。

演員裡面最讓我驚豔的是
8歲小女孩 胖球人生 ，
一部3小時的舞台劇，她占有一半以上的戲份，又要唱歌跳舞，又要記台詞，
光是體力的負荷就讓人幫她捏把冷汗，
但小小年紀不但很好的完成所有表演，
自然生動的演出也獲得全場好評，
想想我8歲還在玩泥巴，
人家8歲能演整部舞台劇，
真的令人佩服。

男主角大師兄由 范逸臣 飾演，
這也是他第一次演歌舞劇，
讓專業歌手來唱對聽眾來說是一種享受，
而且前半場真的很像他的演唱專場。

#孔恩 飾演的越南籍 新娘，難度很高，
因為整場戲都要維持越南口音，非常特殊的腔調，包括唱歌的時候也不例外。

#林曉培 跟 #康茵茵
這對同性戀人的感情互動，
也賺了我不少眼淚，覺得林曉培演技更成熟了，刻意選擇交通事故的情節，
也是更直觀的面對過去。

這部戲好笑也好哭，但是在賺人熱淚之餘，也讓人了解活在當下的重要，因為明天跟意外，真的不知道哪一個先到。

【龍套傳奇福本清三過世：一直找「人生意義」，你不累嗎？】

#福本清三 過世了，享壽 77 歲，長期關注影劇消息的朋友便知道，福本清三的離世是條大新聞。

他不是流量巨星、不是帥氣偶像，更不是什麼拿獎專業戶，而是一位龍套演員，且一演龍套就是 55 年，絲毫沒有想要「搏上位」的心。

就算是臨演，有時只有拉背鏡頭，福本清三照樣兢兢業業；就算被主角殺死 5 萬次，福本清三堅持死得搶眼、死得淒厲，只為襯托主角的英勇與偉大。

這樣一個演員，最終博得日本影壇的敬重，成為一名傳奇的龍套巨星。

福本清三的故事，很適合給一天到晚把「尋找人生意義」掛在嘴巴上、自認出走冒險就可以認識自己、結果內心還是迷茫不已的人。

/

福本清三他一生專注做好本份，努力學習當一名「刀下魂」（kirareyaku）

刀下魂，指的是專門被主角殺死的角色，大多沒有對白、沒有正臉鏡頭、沒有化妝師，演員必須自己打點造型。

50 年代末期， 15 歲的福本清三透過親戚介紹開始當臨演，那時候盛行時代劇，他輾轉各個劇組跑龍套，演的都是被主角砍殺的小角色，舉凡知名的《無仁義之戰》系列和《極道之妻》系列，都能見到福本清三各種一晃而過的慘死鏡頭。

日本媒體為福本清三做統計，他被殺次數超過 5 萬次。

/

臨演薪水不多、容易被取代、經常被劇組人員使喚和大小眼。他們大多帶著成名美夢進來，最終因窮困經濟條件、他人鄙夷眼光、總是紅不起來等理由，各個無奈求去。

福本清三堅持不放棄，他不只甘於清貧，更秉持著「即便再不起眼的工作，都有它存在的理由」的信念前行。

他非常重視自己拿到的每個「刀下魂」角色，為此鑽研喜劇大師卓别林的作品，發現卓别林很喜歡用極其扭曲的面部表情和誇張肢體動作表現死亡，將死亡演繹出某種超出現實的荒誕美感。

福本清三向卓别林學習，努力在猙獰死態中展現不容忽視的張力。

有網友曾剪輯福本清三歷來作品中的各類慘死，其最知名死招是「蝦式反折死法」，被砍後上半身往後倒，下半身直挺挺站著，乍像是身體被砍成兩半， 5 秒後才全身倒地。

他武打是戲，被殺是戲，竭盡全力在不搶走主配角的風頭下賣力慘死、靜靜發光。

福本清三認真將自己在做的事情「當一回事」，並且樂在其中，能不能賺錢、被不被看見，都是其次。

/

有報導指出，跑龍套近一甲子，福本清三曾與知名大咖高橋英樹、高倉健、松平健等合作，還曾經在好萊塢電影《末代武士》跑龍套，飾演監控湯姆克魯斯的「Silent Samurai」。

福本清三在《末代武士》只有一句台詞，卻份量感十足，片尾更在全球觀眾面前展現他耕耘 40 幾年的刀下魂奧義，令人看得相當動容，該片讓長年默默無聞的他，終於獲得外界注目。

福本清三當過一次男主角，是 2014 年電影《太秦燈光下》，飾演一個「專門演出被殺角色的資深演員」，憑該角獲得《第8屆加拿大奇幻電影節》的最佳男主角，是首位得到這項殊榮的日本人。

有記者好奇，為什麼福本清三那麼喜歡當臨演？

福本清三說：「當明星之後會擔心自己過氣。我一直都是在谷底，反而很輕鬆呢，因為不可能再往下跌了。」

/

人生是一連串化繁為簡的過程。

很多人喜歡為賦新詞強說愁，喜歡思考一些深奧獵奇的學問，試圖探究生命本質，我經常收到的讀者來函詢問：「人生到底有什麼意義。」

根據個人經驗和諮詢，過度懷疑人生意義的人，大多數在現實生活中遭遇到各種想得卻不可得的挫敗，卻不願意認清現實、不願意做出取捨，他們雖然很努力，卻無法承受過程中得不到的無能為力。

又或是他們無法面對失去，無論突如其來的分手，抑或是漸行漸遠的人際關係，他們硬要追出一個答案，但追不出來。

他們怪罪整個世界，質疑世界就是受苦，人生沒有意義。

但福本清三讓我尊敬的地方是，他將複雜簡單化，似乎早已明白很多形而上的玄機，參透它的方法根本出乎意料簡單。

/

有問題的從來就不是世界，你要去在乎的意義也不是關於整個世界，而是你如何看待你此時此刻的生活態度與方式？

你自己想怎麼過你的生活？如何親身體驗？如何認同自己的經驗、感受自己的經驗？這才是最重要的。

外界跟你的連結與關係，就是「個人經驗」的一種。

但如何去「定義」這個經驗給你的感受，那是交給你決定的，是一念天堂一念地獄。

一場分手，一場交惡，你可以將其視為性靈飛躍的養分，也可以視為人性本惡的虛無，你要成神成魔，都是操之在你的思維，這將默默地影響你的未來。

一如柴契爾夫人那句話，人要先注意思想，否則會化作你的命運。

縱使被外界視為不起眼的臨演、賺不到什麼錢、受盡大小眼，福本清三仍舊定義自己的經驗是「有價值的」，他將世人最重視的名利放兩旁，把「道義」擺中間。

他心目中的道與義，是對於自己熱愛的事物重視和專注，及無論身處什麼樣的環境下依然認同自己，終身奉行那個「被殺奧義」直到過世。

相信福本清三應該很少會去思考什麼人生意義吧？

畢竟認真過日子且認同自己人生的人，這聽起來就好有意義了。

我不是 ，你的提線木偶。
我想安穩的睡，自由的不受束縛⋯。

慵懶的 在沙發上
我的眼前 一片漆黑
混亂的 情緒交錯
快忘了活著 的感覺

都在 追求 什麼呢
紙醉 金迷的日子
我想 安穩的睡
自由的不受束縛

我不是 你的提線木偶
慾望不是我 是你給的
我不是 你的提線木偶
被慾望牽制著 我沒有 溫度

也許我很孤單 很寂寞
但我不許 墮落消極
喚醒我的它 是種信仰
我絕不放棄

「希望能用這首歌鼓勵正在經歷這些傷痛的朋友們，能給你們一些力量。」

羅文裕感情甚好的哥哥，去年因病過世。羅文裕說道：「過世前的某一天，哥哥說要留下那把他自己最喜歡的吉他給我，就放在美濃的家，這樣我隨時回來都有吉他可以彈。」在告別式結束，那個第一個哥哥不在的夜晚，羅文裕在美濃家裡，寫下這首歌。後來在今年回美濃錄音時，也找出這把吉他重新調音，錄製了這首「哥哥留下來的吉他」，深摯動人。

曲初，先用好似在說話的口氣，親暱地呼喚：「我親愛的哥哥啊…」
還想對哥哥說的話語，兄弟之間的情誼，超越時空之隔，歌曲中有激動之處、有心疼、有思念；最後讓時間慢慢教會我們釋然，教會我們永恆的愛。


歌詞｜
哥哥 留下來的吉他
你最愛的那首歌
我輕輕的來彈

哥哥 留下來的吉他
不管你去到多遠
家裡不用掛念

就讓一首歌 一杯酒 一個人 過一夜
人生一陣風 一陣雨 努力沒在怕
你講風雨總會天晴
用一筆 用一畫 來寫出勇敢

哥哥 留下來的吉他
我的夢中有你的影子

鄰居
我居住在北角. 每一次出門，走出門外的時候，升降機的門便會自動打開。升降機是很舊的，大概有二十至三十年。乘搭升降機的地方很昏暗。有一次我眼見四處都煙霧瀰漫，望了幾秒鐘，就連對面單位的鐵門也看不清，突然有一層好像輕紗這樣的東西向升降機的方向飄走，然後視野就變得清楚了。

這一件事大概在6、７年前發生的
由於北角那麼大廈都是密密麻麻的
所以打開窗戶就會見到對面家裏的人

有一天，我下學回家的時候，大概6點左右
從廚房的窗戶看到對面單位的廚房有一人站在這。
原來是對面單位的男戶主
那一刻我跟他打了一個招呼　笑一笑
然後我喝了個水轉身準備離開的時候
突然想起...
對面單位的男戶主很早已經燒炭自殺了

我回頭再看一次
對面單位已經 「人去樓空」沒有人在這...

菲傭鬼故
大概幾個月前我請了一個新菲傭，而這個故事是她跟我說的。在此我稱呼她（菲傭）為啊May。
啊May大概十個月前，第一次來到香港工作，一開始她是安排在北角某大型的屋苑工作，而這一份工作，最主要的是照顧人，有一個患病婆婆、兩夫婦和一對正在讀中學的女兒。
去到這一家人的家裏，見到婆婆是需要用拐杖走路，而且骨瘦如柴，一開始婆婆對她是很抗拒的，啊May每一次去扶她都會被她推開，不會跟她說一句話，啊May只好勤力地做家務，把婆婆房間打理得乾乾淨淨。

兩個月之後，有一天，婆婆突然開聲用英文跟啊May說話，原來婆婆曾受過高等教育是一位退休的教師，而她的丈夫已過世，生前在內地開廠，現在由兒媳打理。
可是聽婆婆說，自從她的兒子開始打理工廠工作，工廠的生意就一落千丈。
他的兒子想賣掉現在正居住的單位，送婆婆去老人院，可是因為婆婆是業主，婆婆不想離開這一間住了20多年和先生留下美好回憶的地方. 婆婆還說，就算要死也要死在屋內，因為覺得先生會回來這裡接她的。
婆婆覺得他的兒子請了傭人去照顧她，其實就是想哄她賣掉單位，所以一開始便不喜歡啊May。

其實啊May都知道家中各人跟婆婆的感情都不是太好，沒有人會主動跟婆婆聊天，還把她當成透明一樣。
慢慢啊May便成為婆婆說心事的忠實聽眾，可是婆婆的身體一天比一天衰弱，婆婆覺得很快便會離開，等待着她先生接她離開的日子很快就到，還千萬叮萬囑啊May，如果他病發時不要打電話求救，好讓她在屋中離開，終於有天早上，所有人都去了上班上學，婆婆突然病發。。

啊May見到婆婆在床上很辛苦，佢走過去問婆婆，替她報警好嗎？婆婆便捉緊啊May的手，搖頭示意啊May，不讓她打電話.
過了一會婆婆合上眼睛，微笑着，窗外突然吹入一陣涼快微風，捉着啊May的手也慢慢鬆開， 這時啊May立刻報警求助，然後再打給夫婦二人，婆婆被証實已過身。

夫婦也趕緊回家，看到婆婆死狀安詳，咀角帶微笑，婆婆是安然離世的，並非因病厭世自殺，單位也不會變成凶宅。
第三天，屋內開始有奇怪事情發生，啊May去清潔婆婆房間，房門突然自動關上，
晚上屋內的燈光會無故閃動，這些都只不過是小問題。

直到婆婆去世差不多半年左右，有一日，男主人打電話回家跟啊May說，一會兒會有地產公司的職員帶人上來看看，待會真的有人上來看，當他們認真在看的時候，主人房和兩個女兒的房間，正當要去看婆婆的房時候，原本房間的門是開着的，可是突然在冇風吹的情況下，突然，「澎」一聲很大力地關上了門！當時全部在場的人都嚇了一跳，那個地產公司職員還問，是否房內有人呢？而啊May說屋內只有她一個人。

那個職員想去打開門，可是完全打不開，那最後只好離開。
到晚飯的時候，他一家人加上坐在啊May上一起食飯，雖然婆婆離開了，可是她平時食飯的座位還放在這，男主人問啊May今天那些人上來看單位的情況，啊May便如實告知，女主人和兩個女兒聽完非常害怕，可是啊May還繼續說着，她經常會覺得婆婆還在屋內，男主人聽到便非常生氣，說要解雇啊May！在那個時候婆婆平常坐的位置，突然住後掉下了，然後所有的燈也熄滅了。嚇到女主人和兩個女兒走出屋外，男主人便走去開婆婆的房間門，起初是開不到的，後來男主人對着房門說，啊May不會聽中文，所以不清楚他在說甚麼，過了一會房門便可以打開了。
第二天早上，男主人便補貼機票和代通知金給啊May，把啊May送去僱傭中心。

在啊May差不多離開的時間，去到婆婆的房間前，在心裏跟婆婆講了一句「再見婆婆」房裏又無故吹來一陣涼風，很溫柔地吹向啊May的臉，就像向啊May道別一樣，之後啊May便寄居在僱傭中心，輾轉到了我家工作了。

叮叮
話說在七年前的11月尾左右，下班時，在北角乘搭叮叮到中環。當時我坐在車尾另外一旁的閘門旁邊，那時候天已經全黑了，而迎面經過的另外一架叮叮的司機右邊，有一個老伯身穿黑色唐裝雙手下垂，頭微微向下傾斜往前看。
那時候我第一個反應是，那個老伯為什麼可以不用扶手，念頭剛閃過後那個老伯好像能感覺到這樣，他立即有敵意地看着我！那我自然的反應當然是低頭不敢直視，直到他走過才敢抬起頭，接著看到迎面經過的另外一架叮叮落客，便發現我剛才是見到鬼。。

—————————————————————————

自言自語
22年前，在我中五的暑假，我去了北角一間的酒店做保安員。那時候我的職責是跟其他保安員沒有分別，在大堂站崗、巡邏或到控制室工作。
有一天我上夜班，大概凌晨一點鐘左右。
當我走到7樓的時候，我看到靠近最尾的房間有個住客的門打開了，他站在門口旁邊，當我走到另外一邊時我還看到他站在這，然後我轉身走過去問他需要幫忙嗎？那個男人說沒事，然後跟他說了兩嘴，大概10分鐘左右，巡邏完所有樓層後回到控制室時，突然被主館責備，問我剛剛在7樓的時候到底在做甚麼！？對講機也沒有回應！
然後我便解釋當時有一位客人有時需要幫手，那時候主館面色一沉，然後我們一起看回當時閉路電視片段，我們都嚇到了！當時只看到我一人站在走廊自言自語。。。

[真人經歷] 殯儀館上身
今天我一家人去了北角逛街、然後便去了「康怡吉豬島」買東西回家食.
在我們坐計程車的途中，最小的兒子已經很煩躁，姐姐碰一下都生氣。
終於到了家了，大概七點左右、他突然很困. 仍然很不耐煩、不過還是睡覺了。
過了半個小時，他又開始煩躁起來
睡醒後又開始哭，還拉了一點青綠色的屎。接著他哭得越來越厲害、不停地叫媽咪、我的老婆抱著他，他又不斷地掙扎，那時候我感覺到他不是普通的鬧別扭、所以我拿了一道平安符在他身上掃一掃，可惜沒有效用。
而且兒子還開始目露凶光，不斷咆哮。他只有一歲半而已，所以我很擔心他的安全。

然後我給了一串佛珠鏈讓他戴上，可是他推開了，然後我心裏向四面神念着說：如果可以把他們(鬼)請走、我明天立刻去拜祭四面神、最後兒子真的平復了，還有很疲倦地躺在媽媽的身上。
事後老婆跟我說，原來今天我們曾經在北角殯儀館的附近經過、可能因為這樣就見鬼。。

舊式工廈長髮女子
我之前有一份工作，是在北角的一座很舊的工廠大廈裏面工作，它舊的程度是還需要那些 「揸?」的人，用人手開門的那種。

那我們的OFFICE就是整個樓層的，有兩個大正方形中間還有條小巷連接一起的，而我這邊的OFFICE中間有個很大樑柱在這，奇奇怪怪的。那我們2邊做的生意範疇是不一樣的(我的舊老闆是黐著她爸爸的OFFICE 用的)。平時另一邊的人都是很晚才走的，無論那一邊的所有職員離開了, 都需要關掉自己那邊的燈才可以走，不用理會別人那邊。

話說，那天晚上，我加班到很晚，在他們那邊全部的人都走了，還關了燈。即是整座大廈只剩下我一個人在這。沒有人在，那當然要打開機播音樂啦！

好啦，到了11點左右，我明明在聽着陳醫生的歌，怎可能會聽到女人聲音呢？那我就抬高頭，大膽地四處看看，接著。。。我在一個樑柱旁邊.....看到有一個長髮白衫女子飄了出來，當時真的嚇呆了.....

最後，我才發現原來那個長髮女子是另外一邊OFFICE 的人來的，她以為她們的電燈按鈕是在我這邊，所以才一邊打電話問人一邊找電燈按鈕，真的差點被他嚇死。。
