    第一步總是最困難。

    林雅婷想了半天,在暱稱欄打出:「Gina」。她不知道為什麼是Gina,她的身邊也不認識Gina,自己的臉好像長得不像Gina?總之在一切的無以名狀中,敷著面膜的、剛滿27歲的林雅婷,在凌晨三點的交友app介面中,決定現在要叫Gina。

    接下來應該會簡單一點了。

    似乎並沒有。她盯著興趣欄放空,憑直覺寫下,單戀。不對,這不對,她刪掉。母胎單身的她,的確非常非常擅長單戀。如果單戀有錢賺,靠著她一心一德一次一個的虔誠路數,她現在應該是單戀富比世冠軍。又離題了,趕快想興趣!

    看書?現代人已經不看書了,而且喜歡這點的人可能是同業,先不要。爬山?聽起來很棒但她其實一年就爬一次左右。美食?會不會被誤會是網美,或者很喜歡去打卡名店。

    選擇安全牌好了,她寫「電影」。幹,超普通。

    凌晨的自我厭惡迴圈。手機跳出通知,喬的訊息:「還沒刷到妳!」她回:「快了啦不要催(哭臉)。」喬又傳:「我好興奮,剛剛失手按了一堆愛心,妳快來!」附上一張貓咪照,說可以借她用。

    終於到達挑選照片的環節,化身成Gina的林雅婷已經有點理智斷線。她的手機裡幾乎沒有自己的照片,倒是充滿機車的照片。真的機車,literally機車。租屋處附近太多小巷弄,如果不拍起來她會忘記把車停在哪。整本相簿,都是各種角度的機車照。她一邊抓狂一邊刪除照片。

    喬又來訊:「有貓的照片一百分,真的。」

    她心中產生一絲絲的動搖,但這太接近詐騙了。她選了某個工作中的側面照,跟一張風景照,系統要她再傳一張,她迫不得已,傳了貓照。有適合的照片她一定換掉,這是緊急狀況,不算欺騙。最後,她按了送出。

    Gina正式上線。

    雖然不是她的名字,也不是她的貓。

    刷新系統,在方圓3公里內,有100多人。不愧,是永和。叮聲立刻響起,那是收到愛心的通知,她以為是喬,點開看是個陌生的貓照,滑過對方檔案內的系列照片,都沒有臉。不過人在江湖混,也是理解世事的,她給回一個愛心。她沿路看下去,不忘留下愛心的軌跡,將新手上路得到的30個愛心發送完畢。

    滑到熟悉的臉孔。喬放的是正面燦笑照,在茫茫貓海中一支獨秀,她沒有愛心可以給喬了,就放在心裡吧。叮聲又響,這次是愛心加訊息,點開是喬:「誰是Gina哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈」她回:「請正確使用標點符號。」喬回:「.」她再回:「請愛用全型句號。」

    OK好,林雅婷提醒自己,大家都是大人了,不要意氣用事。今日工事已畢,Gina先退駕,林雅婷轉鬧鐘、睡覺。
    *

    人性實在他媽的脆弱,她現在已經會照三餐打開app了,謝謝喬大。

    午餐時間,趁著一起吃飯的同事去廁所的空檔,她打開調成靜音的app。雖然定位系統不太精確,她還是不敢在公司打開,畢竟她聽過男同志朋友打開app,有人距離0m的恐怖故事。答案揭曉,是同一棟樓的鄰居,坐電梯即可達,產地直送的一炮,還可以回自家洗澡。公司附近又有許多新的側臉、新的貓臉、新的風景照,上線人數頗多。為了不想花錢買愛心點數,她近日決定分配配額,午餐可以給10個愛心,晚餐10個,睡前再10個。

    她開始試著主動傳訊,或是在回訊的時候多斟酌,盡量讓話題繼續下去。遇到錯字,嗯,睜一隻眼閉一隻眼。

    可是戀愛到底要怎麼開始呢?

    林雅婷跟Gina去看了週末的早場電影,播放藝術片的小廳只有她一個人。片尾,韋瓦第的《四季》響起,女主角看著音樂廳另一端觀眾席上哭泣的愛人,她們也許不會再相見了。即使在同婚通過的這年看這部電影,林雅婷仍舊痛哭到有點難克制。她一度以為有別的觀眾,但沒有,她放膽地哭出了一點點聲音。走出戲院,找一家咖啡廳,坐在窗邊發呆,在人潮大批湧進前回家。也許就是這樣了吧,她想。母胎單身的她也想談一場完全燃燒的愛情,若不得,可能就是命吧。

    在陽光燦爛的下午,獨居女子把套房的小陽台晾好晾滿,就是此刻能做到的最快樂的事。夜裡她上傳了一張劇照,她其實不太更新app裡的文章,因為覺得沒有人要看長文。迫切地想傾訴給也許不存在的觀眾,想往哪裡空投一封瓶中信,還有什麼比交友app更適合的呢?

    隔日一早,她去二刷電影。早場的廳裡還是只有她一人。

    這次能夠以全知的心情,重新看待一場戀愛。趁著燈亮之前擦乾眼淚,手機恰好震動。app裡有人回覆文章,她點進那個帳號,kotoko。帳號昨日新增的文章,跟她寫了同一部電影。她傳訊給對方,對方秒回。丟接非常愉快的聊天,是節奏適合的夥伴,互相餵球,有來有往。

    「聊多久要約見面?」隔週,她傳訊問了喬。
    「妳還沒有跟人約出來嗎?」喬問。
    「對。」她答。
    「我真的沒辦法了、、、」喬回,「!!!。。。」
    「蛤?」
    「就是太震驚,難怪妳的曖昧都無疾而終。」
    「跟網友見面很緊張欸。還是先交換ig帳號或是line再說?」
    「這麼私人的東西妳怎麼會想先給......」喬說完,補上一個傻眼貓咪的gif檔。
    「我不懂這些遊戲規則(抱頭)。」
    「就照、妳的、節奏吧。」

    有天夜裡,kotoko傳了聲音訊息,說晚安。林雅婷也回傳。

    「妳的聲音很不像Gina。」kotoko迅速回以文字。
    「我亂取的......現在改還來得及嗎......本名實在太菜市場了......」
    「我的名字,也很菜市場(握手)。」

    app有點卡頓,林雅婷重新開啟。發現kotoko跟自己的距離為0m。很好,又有新bug。

    「妳住在哪區啊?永和還是中和?」林雅婷問。
    「交界。」
    「那好像很近,如果週末有空,要不要約面交?」以Gina之名,她咬牙送出這句,又補充:「上次跟妳講的那本書出了,可以給妳一本。」
    「這個要求有點失禮,但可以給我電子檔嗎?我讀電子檔比較方便。」
    「好啊。」

    她們交換了e-mail,她想著碰面應該是無望。

    「但是我很想見妳喔。」kotoko說,「很難以說明我現在的心情。我第一次有這種感覺,心裡覺得很困惑,又覺得,啊,果然是這樣。雖然一直沒有喜歡上誰,但我果然是喜歡女生的。」

    林雅婷從床上翻身坐起,打開桌邊小燈,端正看著這段訊息,面紅耳赤不該如何回應。

    「哈哈哈哈哈,先這樣,好孩子該睡了,晚安。」語畢,kotoko立即下線。

    還沒有正式見面,戀愛早一步開始了。

    Gina回到林雅婷,kotoko的本名是王秀琴。她們交換了比app個人檔案更清楚的照片,林雅婷坦承檔案裡的貓不屬於自己,聊起原生家庭,認同的掙扎,如何試著在日常生活或是網路找到同類。
    kotoko的家教極度嚴格,甚至還被逼著去相親過許多次,她很少出門,主業是寫網路小說,林雅婷一看,是人氣跟品質都很不錯的百合作者。雖然想過很多次要離家出走,但都失敗。

    大抵是熱戀帶來的勇氣吧,林雅婷問,要不要先搬來她的套房一起住。反正白天她都不在家,kotoko可以專心寫稿。之後的事,就邊走邊看。kotoko沉默了很久,說會有點麻煩。林雅婷說沒關係。

    「真的有點麻煩,妳會怕的。」kotoko傳訊。
    「不怕。」林雅婷回。
    「給我兩個星期時間,我看一下日子。」
    「?」
    「就是,要看一下有沒有比較適合的日子。」
    「看妳覺得怎樣比較好。」

    林雅婷倒在床上,快樂到傳訊給喬。

    「第一次戀愛就同居,好喔,這很女同志。」喬回,加上一個貓跳舞的圖。「她的家人是不是很可怕......妳們到時候小心一點......不要讓他們知道妳們住的地方!!!」
    「好!」林雅婷回。

    約好搬家的日子,天氣晴。林雅婷早起洗了衣服,想到kotoko說的好日子,google了一下農民曆,果然是好日子。

    「宜:嫁娶、開光、祭祀、祈福、求嗣、出行、解除、伐木、入宅、移徙、安床、出火、拆卸、修造、上樑、栽種」

    她煮好一壺咖啡,等待kotoko抵達。雖說kotoko說東西很少,她清出了兩層書櫃跟幾個儲存格,如果還需要什麼,再去採買就是了。約定下午三點,她走下樓,沒看到人,於是她走到住家大門外窄窄的小巷,各種聲響湧入,但巷裡沒人。

    「妳到了嗎?」她傳訊問。
    「往前走。」kotoko回。

    林雅婷往前走了幾步,還是沒人,在窄窄的,不容會車的,以各種方式斜插著機車的日常小巷裡,道路正中間,有點突兀地,放置著一個紅包袋。太陽還很烈,林雅婷剛下樓就出了薄薄的一身汗,說不上來,她突然有一種涼意。

    而手機訊息又來了。

    「如果方便的話,請妳撿起來。」kotoko說,「拜託了。」

    林雅婷不確知自己為什麼會這樣做,有機車正要騎進小巷,她突然感覺,不想要那個紅包被輾過。她快步往前衝,機車騎士罵了一句髒話,避開她們快速騎走了。

    她蹲下,以奇特虔誠的心情,輕輕捧起那個紅包袋。

    袋裡有一小撮收束好的頭髮,旁邊有寫著數字的紙張,八字的主人,名為王秀琴。她覺得天旋地轉,一時站不起來,乾脆坐在地上。

    「對不起。」kotoko說,「如果不方便,真的沒有關係。」

    訊息持續傳來,她沒有力氣再往下讀。她就坐著,柏油路的熱氣漫漫蒸暖她的尾椎。旁邊有人走來,出聲叫喚,她想說她沒事,開嘴了卻沒有聲音。聲音呢?她想。原來要用力才能讓人聽到自己的聲音。

    她抬頭看,一對老夫妻站在她面前。她還是沒找到聲音,板著臉的老先生,將她手上的紅包跟紙片一把搶走。他們快步離開,老太太又回過身,拿走那撮頭髮。

    再回神,有台車要開進小巷,按了喇叭看她不動,倒退開走。林雅婷坐在路中間,尚有點腿軟,所以她叫了uber,出發去找喬。

    喬跟幾個朋友在東區聚餐,好心讓她加入,大家以為林雅婷初戀即失戀,呵護她一整個晚上。有熱鬧的餐廳當背景音,她打開訊息,裡面是滿滿的道歉。她想想也是,要講出這件事,可能比出櫃還難。

    喬的朋友恰好因為換工作,去找通靈人算運勢。席間的話題轉為各種神秘故事。

    林雅婷趁著空檔開口:「你們覺得同婚難還是冥婚難?」

    有人率先回:「當然是同婚,今年五月才過的同婚,冥婚已經有幾千年歷史了吧,當同志比當鬼難多了。」

    到家之後,小套房跟出門前一模一樣,咖啡早就變冷了。她想起自己跟家人出櫃的艱難過程。跟別人說自己是女同志難?還是跟別人說自己是女鬼難?好像很難分辨。

    她坐回桌前,傳訊問,那現在該怎麼辦?妳爸媽好像不同意?

    秀琴幾乎秒回,「我會繼續跟他們溝通......還有,那是我弟弟跟弟媳。」
    林雅婷好像懂了什麼。

    「妳幾年次?」
    「37年次。」
    「!」
    「可以算是.....19歲吧......我也不知道......」
    「星座呢?」
    「我們那時候報戶口不準,冬天生的,可能是天蠍或是射手......」
    「妳答案盡量講長一點。」
    「為什麼?」
    「不然我會覺得自己好像在玩碟仙。」
    「哈哈哈哈哈哈哈妳很煩欸。」

    林雅婷泡了一壺新的茶,刷新app,發現秀琴在距離自己略遠的地方。

    「好啦,那接下來怎麼辦?家人好像不讓妳搬出來住。」
    「妳不怕嗎?」
    「說真的嗎?」
    「嗯,請妳一定要對我說真話。」
    「不怕。」
    「我會去處理。以前沒有人在聽我講話,但現在不太是這樣。」
    「會怎樣?」
    「讓他們沒辦法睡覺。」
    「有用嗎?」
    「不然妳以為我怎麼拿到智慧型手機的。」
    「原來真的可以用......」

    週一到來,林雅婷如常上班,抽空跟秀琴傳訊。她本來想訂做一個紙紮電腦給對方,否則在手機寫稿太傷眼了,轉念一想,可能秀琴沒有這方面的困擾。不如到時候再觀察看看。

    又是一個好日子,這次她穿得稍微正式,抵達秀琴家人指定的咖啡廳。來的是秀琴的弟弟弟媳,還有他們的女兒。弟弟的臉色不善,弟媳保持沉默,女兒反而非常親切,一把握住林雅婷的手,大聲地喊姑姑。新認的姪女約莫跟林雅婷的母親年紀相仿,她立刻請對方直呼名字就好。

    談的事項很簡單,一切從簡,林雅婷收下原本的紅包,此次還加上幾張秀琴照片。

    不是賣女兒,加上雙方都是女方,沒有嫁妝或是聘金的疑慮。弟弟拿出一小盒,內有一枚金戒指,是當初媽媽做好,想給女兒出嫁用的,就一併交給雅婷。她沒有刷新app看位置,但她能感覺秀琴就在旁邊那個特意空出的位置。最末,她跟姪女交換了line,姪女遞出一個紅包,說是簡單的賀禮,希望雅婷務必收下。

    紅包跟戒指的重量都很輕,接近沒有存在感。她回到家,將這些物件放在櫃子上。然後打開前幾日買好的金紙爐,將她精心挑選的幾本書焚燒殆盡。

    「謝謝!!!我已經好久沒讀到紙本書了!!!」秀琴說。

    接近午夜,秀琴還沒有抵達。也許還在跑行政程序吧,畢竟,同婚是一件很新的事。

    林雅婷坐在小沙發,打開新買的氣泡酒,幫秀琴多倒了一杯。接著轉開電視,想找部可以下酒的影集,有雙手輕輕覆蓋在她按著遙控器的手上,跟氣泡酒一樣清爽冰涼,觸感柔軟而實在。

    現在知道為何蔡政府拒絕佛光山捐贈疫苗因爲他們不認為星雲大師是台灣人,a joke!

    真愛台灣 哭一次吧!
    作者:佛光山開山星雲大師

    我李國深,民國十六年生於中國江蘇江都縣,12歲時,因為父親在日本 發動的南京大屠殺失蹤,尋父不着,就在棲霞山出家。我在出生地揚州住了12年,在南京和鎮江住了12年,在台灣住了66年了,我90歲了。

    回想民國38年春天,我率領僧侶救護隊,在太平輪沉船失事後幾天,飄洋過海抵達台灣基隆港。60多年來,我在台灣,承受台灣同胞的照顧,台灣米水的滋養,讓我能夠弘揚佛法,完成我發展佛教的願望。對於寶島台灣,我的感恩是無窮的。

    儘管如此,我在台灣住了六十多年,台灣並未承認我是台灣人,反而我周遊世界弘法如美國、澳洲,短暫居住過的城市給了我十多個“榮譽公民”。一直到這幾年,我住過數十年的宜蘭市公所才賞賜給我“榮譽市民”的認可。於此,我也非常感謝了。

    時至今日,我仍不禁遺憾,在台灣超過一甲子,甚至馬英九、陳水扁,他們都比我遲到台灣,但他們能做“總統”,我卻連做個台灣人都不能,所以只有自稱“台灣中國人”。

    記得1989年,我回到闊別四十年的故鄉探親,家鄉的父老也不認識我了,都説:“這是台灣來的和尚。”我不免慨想我究竟是哪裏人呢?後來我只好説,只要地球不捨棄我,就做個“地球人”吧!

    當我跟移居世界各地的華人説“我是地球人”時,馬上得到熱烈的共鳴。或許同樣遠離家鄉,客居異域,都有一段顛沛流離的悲情故事,既知道自己是中國人,但和中國又距離那麼遙遠,在血源、種族上,大家是改不了的中華民族,於是就一致認同我,跟隨我做地球人了。

    正如先賢 唐朝 鑑真大師,在旅居日本十餘年後,自知老邁無法還鄉而説的遺偈:
    “山川異域,日月同天,
    寄諸佛子,共結來緣。”
    我對手足同胞也是一樣,
    大家今生有這樣的因緣,
    希望來生再結炎黃子孫的緣

    66年漫長歲月,我隨着台灣經歷了戰後初期百廢待興的刻苦艱辛;從戒嚴時期,白色恐怖的時代,當然也經歷篳路藍縷的十大建設時期,我為台灣的百花齊放,創造經濟奇蹟,成為亞洲四小龍之首而感到與有榮焉。乃至第一次政黨輪替後,見證了自由民主帶給台灣的美麗與哀愁。你們66歲以下的人,能解我跟台灣成長的心情?

    我嘗過白色恐怖的迫害,也曾因不實的密告坐過牢獄,在槍林彈雨、多少次的死活中,僥倖地延長了生命歲月。尤其來台初期,我受過警察不止百次以上的調查,謠言、耳語、省籍問題,以致我投宿無門、衣食無着,可以説,我在台灣也有過一段辛酸的歷程。
    所幸,出家人一向有“處處無家處處家”的性格,我曾經數度環島,走過台灣兩、三百個鄉鎮;我跋涉過溪水河川,也曾在農村睡過豬舍牛房;我翻越高山峻嶺,行腳過八仙山、太平山;我也多次在南北台灣的神廟前,或農家的曬穀場上佈教宣講;我領略寶島各地的人文風光、自然景觀。

    我曾在半夜上阿里山頂看日出,也曾徒步到日月潭,與原住民好友“毛王爺”談心,還與他讀國民小學的女兒“三公主”合影。對於阿里山、日月潭,我也和現在的大陸人一樣充滿嚮往。
    鄭成功管理過的新營、下營、柳營、左營、台南赤崁樓等地方,也曾令我發思古之幽情。我留連在高雄紅毛港、花蓮的海港,我站在野柳女王頭的一旁,望着大海,自豪於中華文化隨着海水流遍十方,可是這片大海,怎麼把我們兩岸同文同種的同胞隔得這麼遙遠?令人不禁感傷。

    那數十年,我在北宜、北橫、蘇花、南迴等公路留下腳印;蔣經國先生開拓中橫公路,我在太魯閣燕子口、九曲洞,不止數十次徘徊,欣賞台灣雄偉奇妙的寶地山川,也曾為修築這條公路的數百名殉難工作人員祭悼祝願。我發願將佛法的真善美,散播到寶島的每處角落。經過汗水淋漓、雙腳踩過的每一寸土地,我與它產生了生命的連結,血脈相通,你能説我不愛台灣嗎?

    回憶60多年前,在那個威權的時代,佛教在台灣並沒有發展的空間,但我憑藉青少年時期對佛教建立起的虔誠信仰,不斷到各鄉鎮、漁港、農村去佈教,因為化世益人就是我的責任。我們敲鑼打鼓地喊道:“各位台灣的父老兄弟姐妹們,咱們的佛教來啦!咱們的佛教來啦!”

    那些聽到我呼聲的民眾,他們也無懼於蔣夫人宋美齡以異教徒身分的權威壓制,都站出來跟我一起共同呼喊!”台灣的父老兄弟,大人、小孩魚貫的拿着小板凳坐下來,專心聽着跟隨青年弘法隊員唱歌、説故事。我們跨越語言、地域的隔閡,信仰裏純淨的善美真心,我們彼此交融,心意相通。   

    那時候,一般人都嫌台灣花不香、鳥不語,《波茨坦宣言》記載,中日戰爭後,台灣歸還中國,是犧牲二千多萬人的生命,以血淚換取的勝利代價。因此,我懷抱一顆中國人的心情熱愛台灣,比起滿清把台灣割讓給日本的無邊罪惡,我更慶幸國民黨光復台灣,讓台灣重回中華民族的懷抱。

    每逢台灣發生災難,我都能感同身受。從1951年花蓮大地震、1959年台灣中部八七水災、到1999年的921大地震等等,無懼地震、颱風、水患,我們募集物資前往救災,希望帶給災民一點幫助。我們協助捐建和修復十餘所學校,供給學童午餐。

    莫拉克八八風災時,我在南部道場成立災民安置所,為了尊重他們的信仰、心中的價值,請來牧師為這許多原住民證道,並且在佛光山設置基督教會的禮拜堂。之後,也捐建了霧台、桃源、長治鄉等八座圖書館。

    對於宗教間,我主張互相尊重、彼此包容。例如,我曾將天下文化等出版公司給我的版税,捐給花蓮基督教門諾醫院、慈濟醫院,也鼓勵信徒一起捐款協助。對於天主教真福山社福園區修道院的興建,我也曾在艱難中五年分期捐獻五百萬,聊表祝賀的心意。為了支持南投阮泰賢神父的發心,我也撥出一百萬,響應他重建天祥教堂。屏東萬鑾聖母院的老修女要返回故國西班牙,聽聞她缺少經費,我親自把機票、路費送到修道院,感謝這許多修女數十年對台灣的服務。

    為了感念台灣神道寺廟的友誼,我為媽祖創作了一首《媽祖紀念歌》,並且在佛陀紀念館成立了“中華傳統宗教聯合總會”。每年他們參加朝山聯誼,彼此歡喜交流,都是種種的美好因緣。

    我發起百萬人興建大學,感謝前任“教育部長”楊朝祥、成功大學前校長翁政義、文學才子龔鵬程、管理專家陳淼勝、前“教育部”政務次長林聰明都來擔任我們佛光、南華大學的校長。他們不嫌棄我童年失學,幫助我完成對社會教育的心願。

    六十多年來,我和我的弟子、信徒們為台灣在世界辦了五所大學、十六所佛教學院,我辦了電視台、報紙、出版社、中小學等,如今想來,台灣佛教能有現在的盛況,我也自覺這六十多年,對台灣人心的淨化和佛教的振興,有了一點馨香的供養。也很感謝海內外各地的佛光人及認同我的朋友們,大家一起為兩岸、為世界和平努力不懈。

    佛光山大雄寶殿前面,有二十四棵挺拔的松柏,我把它們都看作是中華文化的二十四孝;我又從大陸運來比樓房還高的鐘乳石、太湖石、晚霞石等,與先前在福建鐫刻的十八羅漢,它們像磐石一般安住在佛光山;尤其,我們突 破過去傳統,在十八羅漢中,特地立了三尊佛教史上的女羅漢,表達我一生倡導男女平等的主張。我們建設的佛陀紀念館,希望全世界的人都因它而看見台灣。

    我愛台灣,認為我是台灣人,但不能否認,我還有大陸的故居、我的祖先、我的師長 前輩,我不能不與他們共依共存。在文化大革命時期,我在江蘇宜興 的祖庭大覺寺早就化為草嶺荒山,但到底那是我窮苦歲月時接引我入佛的寶地,也是成長我慧命的地方。感念大陸政府鼓勵我重建祖庭,現在的大覺寺超越過去舊有的建築多倍以上,藉此,也表達對國恩家慶的回報之意。

    台灣2300萬人最可貴的資產,就是百姓的慷慨善良,遺憾的是,每到選舉,少部分人強烈的意識形態,讓台灣族羣分裂,社會對立衝突,人民與政府相互抗爭,選民與政黨交相指責。在藍綠的政爭之下,台灣人的温和有禮,可以在一夕之間蕩然無存。

    我毫不隱瞞反對“台獨”的想法,因為我生逢亂世,一生歷經北伐、土匪橫行、軍閥割據、中日戰爭以及國共內戰。當時生靈塗炭的苦難,時隔八十年,記憶猶新,因此,對於兩岸之間,我主張和平,因為戰爭的後果將是不堪設想。

    我終其一生,推動實踐僧信平等、男女平等、自他、宗教平等的行動。而對於兩岸和平、世界和平,則是我畢生的盼望。我衷心的希望,台灣不要再有人我對立的禍患,不要只有藍綠、沒有對錯是非善惡的觀念。大家不妨想一想,假如沒有了“中華民國”,我們的前途還能夠和平安寧嗎?大陸政府還會這麼優厚的待遇我們嗎?為了台灣的未來,我期盼藍綠的惡鬥、媒體的扭曲報導,都能停止下來。

    經常有人説:世界最美的風景是台灣,因為人。最近又有人説:世界最醜陋的地方也是台灣,因為媒體造謠説謊、謾罵批評。為什麼短短數年,台灣從最美麗變成最醜陋了呢?所有居住在台灣的人,我們都應該深思檢討。

    許多人説台灣的崩壞,是不負責任的政客、盲目的選民與造謠的媒體所造成,三者惡性循環,扭曲了民主的價值與法制的精神。更令人憂心的,在政治選舉的操弄下去中國化,對於中華文化、國族意識、家族源流的漠視與遺忘,讓許多人背棄自己的傳統,忘失了自己的根源。就像陳之藩 先生所説的,成為一株“失根的蘭花”。

    這裏我們所説的中國,是五千年中華文化孕育的歷史中國、文化中國、全民中國,是民族血肉相連、不能改變的中華民族。你説,我們能稱作英國人嗎?我們能稱作德國人嗎?我們能稱作日本人嗎?所以,坦誠的告訴大家,我們都是炎黃子孫,這是無法改變的歷史事實。

    所謂“木有本,水有源”,台灣人的祖先,哪一個不是中國人呢?除了李登輝先生之外,大家都不能否認自己是中國人。現在,台灣有少數人倡議“台獨”不肯 講中國話,主張要講台灣話。請問台灣話是哪裏的話?台灣話不是福建話嗎?福建話不也是中國話嗎?福建也是中國的啊!你能不講中國的福建話嗎?

    在全世界,台灣是保存中華文化最完整的地方,也以中華文化的傳統為榮。中華文化重視春節、中秋節、端午節、清明節……,你能説你不要農曆春節過年嗎?中秋月圓,你能説你不要家庭團聚嗎?清明慎終追遠,你能説你不要為祖先追思掃墓嗎?在台灣,我們每一個人,從小到大接受中華文化的滋養,這是我們共同的根源,你否定它,不肯接受中華文化,難道你要做一個宇宙人間無國界、沒有根的遊民嗎?

    俗諺説“呷果子拜樹頭,吃米飯惜鋤頭”,曾經我見過一份資料,康熙三十五年(一六九六)編的《地方誌》,記載當時的台灣隸屬揚州管轄。我不禁歡喜,原來六十多年來我沒有離開過揚州。飲水思源,我們每一個人也都應該找出自己的根在哪裏?我的父母親在哪裏出生?我的祖父母來自哪裏?我的曾祖父母又來自何方?我曾親聞習近平主席説 “兩岸一家親”,我們能否認這種同根同源的事實嗎?

    最近,原住民立委高金素梅女士呼籲“禮失求諸野”,在我們認為,如果能“禮失求諸佛教”,更是人間美事。因為信仰必定是人類的基本權利,我希望台灣人民能夠重建新的信仰,樹立道德、講究慈悲、安定身心,人人做好事、説好話、存好心,用因果業報等,幫助社會次序更加穩定,祈願人人幸福,家家平安。

    我一生愛中國、愛台灣、愛中華文化,我和大家過去的祖先一樣,在怒海餘生中來到台灣,因此,惟願國泰民安,別無他求。寄語台灣那許多本土派的人士,不要過於歧視外省人;居住了六十多年,我不算台灣人嗎?台灣會這麼狹隘嗎?難道大家的祖宗先輩不是渡海來台的中國人嗎?

    現在,這一本趙無任的《慈悲思路·兩岸出路》即將出版,我深有同感,假如我們兩岸慈悲,共同以中華文化救台灣,還怕未來沒有出路嗎?藍綠兩黨如果也有慈悲,還怕未來沒有友好的希望嗎?在此心香一瓣,祝願大家平 安吉祥。是為序。

    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。

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

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

    Postscript

    I have been living recklessly in Taiwan for more than fifty years. According to Zi Wei Dou Shu (Purple Star Astrology), Tan Lang is the sole star in my house of Self. This star, which represents xxx, forms an equilateral triangle with that star Qi Sha and Po Jun on the square chart and constitutes a Sha Po Lang pattern. The pattern indicates a kind of turbulence and change, a life of wandering with ups and downs and it tells a lot about my life. After my ill-fated youth, I started from scratch and traveled around the world with exhibitions that I participated. Like a flaneur, I wandered around ruins, nature, and temples with every type of film camera obliviously. Thus, I founded the Hall of Illusion and claimed to be the master of the hall. Several times a day, I pondered a quote from the Diamond Sutra, “Everything with form is unreal.” In addition, I usually stayed in the darkroom developing film and enlarging those negatives overnight. However, I treasured the simplicity of the black and white world. The earthly, gaudy, garish, phony and pleasing qualities within colored photos make the images even more realistic than the real world. It is not my cup of tea, so I seldom took colored photos. In Confucian thought, the age of fifty marks the stage knowing the mandate of Heaven. I am now at my fifties and realize how ephemeral human life is. However, I am not an immortal, nor having sagelike characteristics. I just learned that the stage of stainless (the second bhūmi) and develop a pure mind that is free from doubt and defilement. However, I’m still far from the immovable state and need to practice.

    In the summer of 2017, after filming the work Incarnation, I experienced a severe heart rhythm problem which almost triggered myocardial infarction and could have killed me. Consequently, I realized that death was waiting for me and the life is too short to figure out how I can liberate myself from the cycle of Birth and Death. I couldn’t comprehend how to be free from all afflictions and worries and how to avoid delusive ideas. I wept for three days and nights after being enlightened by Shakyamuni Buddha. Up to the moment, I felt ashamed that I failed to realize that the self is as insignificant as dust after these years learning and practicing Buddhism. Since then, I have visited famous temples and monasteries in my spare time, worshiping Buddha, Bodhisattvas, arhats, and all the deities and immortals. Taiwan’s temples are myriad with a enormous number of sects, including Buddhism, Taoism, Yiguandao, Catholicism, Christianity, Chinese religions of fasting, Islam& Baháʼí Faith, Confucianism, Tiandiism& Tian-De Teachings, Xiwangmu cult, Yellow Emperor Sect, Precosmic Salvationism, Liism, World Wide Ethical Society, séance cult, etc. Some people even claim that they can mediate communication between the deities or spirits of the dead with human beings, having their believer rely on themselves instead of the orthodox dharma or dogma and pay excessive respect and admiration for the mediums or objects, accumulating wealth through such an unfair means or even harassing their believer sexually. Due to Taiwan’s historical changes, social turbulence, political struggles, and ideological issues, Buddhism and Taoism are somehow mixed. However, there are few emphases on the concept of the hell. As I took photographs of Yama of each court, judges, wardens of the underworld, jailers, General Fan and Hsieh (the ghost escorts) and all sinners, I found few temples cleverly created hellish scenes that are intriguing, exaggerating, and extraordinary. However, the creations are unparalleled unique. I have been studying Western arts for decades and then I came to realize that simplicity makes the most beautiful works of art. These hellish scenes can even compete with works of Giotto di Bondone (1267-1337) and Michelangelo Di lodovico Buonarroti Simoni (1475-1564).

    Jingang Temple Shimen District, founded in 1986, overlooks the beautiful North shore. Although the temple is mainly dedicated to Phra Phrom (the Thai representation of Mahabrahma), spirits of Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism can also be founded in the temple. The worshipper can go cross the Seven Star bridge to relieve bad luck, walk along the five hundred arhat statues and knock on the gong to affirm one’s Buddha nature. Furthermore, the worshipper can also prostrate themself before Asia’s largest statue of Buddha in Nirvana (the Reclining Buddha statue) and pacify the Taoist Tai Sui deity of the year. I was impressed by the Jia-Zi Tai Sui General that a pair of palms grow out of his eyes. In 1994, the biō-kong (the person taking charge of the temporal affairs of a temple) received a divine inspiration from Yama (the King of Hell) that he had to build a sacred hall in the shape of a divine dragon, with the interior designed according to the World of Ultimate Bliss and the Underworld. When the visitor walks in the dark hallway, they will see the tortured people (dioramas, of course) scrunching their faces and crying bitterly and loudly in excessive grief as the visitor triggers the mechanism. One will even find them in the midst of flesh, body liquid and blood, mutilated limbs, and rotten corpses. While each of the ten Yamas are focusing on their own duties, showing their sacred dignity that collect visitors’ attention. The Baogong Temple in Linkou District, New Taipei City exclusively features colorful depiction of hellish scenes in relief in Taiwan. With its pastel shades and cartoon-like style, the relief is both grotesque and adorable at the same time. This temple is dedicated to Bao Zhen (also known as Justice Bao) representing the incarnation of Yama. Living people who have been treated unjustly can come worshipping Bao Gong and receive exorcism. Therefore, many people come here for seeking to solve unsolved cases. In Zhongyuan Festival (the ghost festival), the temple will burn the Zhizha (paper craft) boat to ferry the ghosts to the other shore, which is the shore of enlightenment. The only giant statue of Yama in Taiwan is still in the making. The temple is surrounded by a cemetery, suitable for meditating on the loathsomeness and impurity. Nantian Temple (1971), located next to the Eight Trigram Mountains Buddha in Changhua, features the first animatronic underworld. Despite the small size, the animatronic underworld is intensely shocking. Though it’s slightly worn, the colorful dioramas are still brutally ferocious. The creator was the late venerable Dao Zhang (Taoist priest) Jing Deng-fu while the origin of animatronic deities can be traced back to the 1960s Beigang Chaotian Temple. On the contrary, the Whiteman Toothpaste Tourism Factory in Shuishang Township, Chiayi, features ten Yamas with individual booth. The place is unexpectedly clean and polished yet keeps a simple and modest tone. Then, the Dragon Pagoda of the Dragon and Tiger Pagodas at Lotus Lake in Zuoying, Kaohsiung, holds the only relief of hellish scenes made of Kochin ceramic. All the figures are vivid and life-like. If one goes further into the pagoda, they will see a relief tunnel of the thirty-three incarnations of the white-robed form of Guanyin (Avalokiteśvara) on a white lotus, with a lovely and interesting design. Another Hall of Yama is built in the 1970s next to the entrance of Dagangshan Chaofeng Temple, located in the Alian District of Kaohsiung. Visitors will also see three statues of the Three Holy Ones of the Western Pureland (Amitābha, Avalokiteśvara, Mahāsthāmaprāpta) which assemble at a lotus pond. Although the hellish scene looks somewhat antiquated, you may still find its previous charm. If one goes further, they will reach the sculptural garden of “Attaining the Bodhi Way: the Incarnation of Sakyamuni Buddha,” where the visitor can see the essence of Bhagavato’s (meaning the Blessed one, one of the common epithets for Buddha) life. When Tathāgata (another epithet for Buddha) was old, the king of Kosala wanted to avenge the arrogance of the tribe of Shakyas who had long despised him, regarding him as a son of a maiden. Although Buddha has sat in lotus position alone three times to stop the army from attacking his tribe. However, one can never reverse the cause and following karma. The prince born of a maiden was so furious that he eventually destroyed his homeland. Maudgalyāyana (one of the Buddha’s closest disciples), who is said to have had supernatural abilities that surpassed the other disciples, could not bear to see the slaughter of innocent people. Thus, he saved five hundred people of his tribe with a pātra (an eating utensil of Buddhist monks). Unfortunately, everything he did was in vain, those who were saved eventually turned into a puddle of blood. The Buddha said that the supernatural abilities cannot surpass the power of karma. The cause and effect work all the time. When Maudgalyāyana’s mother fell into the path of hungry ghost, he used his supernatural abilities to save his mother from hunger. However, all the food turned into fire before being fed to his mother. Later, the Buddha commanded the monks to put nectar and dishes in a basin on the 15th day of the seventh month in the lunar calendar for the monks from all directions to free his mother from reincarnation. In later times, the Ullambana Dharma Service, the Compassionate Samadhi Water Repentance, and the Yoga Collection for Feeding the Searing Mouths Dharma Service are rituals to eliminate karmic hindrance and to cease to worldly delusions. Through such practices, one can free the dead as well as confess their repentance.

    Madou Daitian Temple is a magnificent and colorful temple in Tainan. Not only can the worshippers visit the eighteen levels of Hell but also the Heaven (it was built in 1979 and inaugurated in 1983) here. The lighting and sound effects are stunning and frightening. When walking alone in the space, one may feel like taking a Guan Luo Yin trip (a Taoist necromancy which leads people’s spirits to hell and communicate with the dead ones) to visit the underworld prison. Before arriving the first court of the underworld, the visitor will walk through the Mountain of Heart Summit, the Pure Heart Pond, the Frontier between the Living and the Dead Realms, the Soul Registry Hall, the Portico of Demons, the Center for Complementary Teaching of Canonical Books, the Citadel of Premature Death, and the Bridge of Vanity. When one arrives at the first court, they will see King Chin-guang, who is in charge of the court, using the Mirror of Retribution to show the earthly form of evil creatures and also witness the sub-hell of Pillar-Holding and Fire Bed, etc. At the second court, King Chu-jiang collates the register of sins the souls of the dead have committed to impose the punishments. Here, you will see the sub-hell of Excrement and Urine, Hungry Ghost, Burning Dance Floor, Ice, Pus and Blood, Whipping, Tongue-Raking, Sword Blade, Stomach-Piercing, Chopping, etc. Next, the dead at the third court, ruled by King Song-di, will receive the punishments including inversion tortures, face-skinning with steel and copper knife, eye-wrenching, pounding, blood-sucking, rib-piercing, roasting, tendon-taking, being eaten by maggots. The visitor can pay a visit to the Palace of Soul-Resuscitation for the Four Forms of Creatures (birth from an egg, birth from a womb, birth from moisture, and birth by transformation). King Wu-guan is in charge of the fourth court. There are sixteen sub-hells at the fourth court including Waist Chop, Tongue Removal, Boiling Pond, Mouth-stabbing, Skin-peeling, Sword Tree, Burning Wheels and Cart, Eye-shooting, etc. Next, at the fifth court, sinful souls are allowed to ascend the Tower of Hometown-Viewing to take a final look of their family. The visitor will witness sub-hells of Knee-striking, Heart-slicing, Blade Mountain, Flying Swords and Burning Stones, etc. The King of Bian City takes charge of the sixth court, which is also known as the “Great Hell of Screaming,” with sub-hells including Fire Cattle, Tiger-Biting, Kidney-Eating, Mouth-Poking, Throat-Nailing, Iron Mill, Decapitation, etc. The King of Tai-shan is in charge of the seventh court, the “Great Hell of Heat and Fire.” The sixteen sub-hells at this court include Finger-Searing, Bowel-Hauling, Stone-Bearing, Boiling Oil, Tongue-Removal and Cheek-Piercing, etc. Next, the King Du-shi is in charge of the eighth court, the “Great Hell of Intense Fire and Heat,” and the sub-hells including Fire Dogs, Molten Iron, Iron Snakes, Dismemberment, Steel Spikes, Burning-Marrow, Iron Ball, Scale, etc. The ninth court is ruled by the King Ping-deng. It is known as the biggest court, Avici Hell (the Hell of Incessant Suffering), which if the lowest level of the hell realm and the interior is gloomily and terrifyingly dark. Those who committed the most serious evil deed will be sent to the Avici Hell. Sub-hells such as Poisonous Snake, Brain-Removal, Crow-Gnawing, Raining Needles, Wasps and Scorpions are included at this court. After arriving the tenth court, ruled by the Great King of the Reincarnation Palace, one can visit the “Observatory of Life on earth” and the “eight bureaus of the Reincarnation Palace” (including the Bureau of Judicial Control, the Bureau of Good-Actions, the Bureau of Bad-Actions, the Bureau of Debts, Gratitude, and Vengeance, the Bureau of Longevity and Destiny, the Bureau of Familial Ties, the Bureau of the Reincarnated, and the Bureau of Birth). The sinful one will be sent to the Pavilion of Mengpo and made to drink the Soup of Forgetfulness to forget all past affairs. According to the sinful one’s merits of previous life, they will go across one of the six bridges (gold, silver, jade, stone, wood, bamboo) to the “Reincarnation-Wheel (Wheel on the Crimson River).” Finally, one is able to reborn in the six realms. According to the Aṣṭadaśa nāraka sutra ( the Eighteen Hells Sutra), after one passes away, they will enter an intermediate and transitional state between death and rebirth, known as antarābhava in Sanskrit, for forty-nine days. The being will be evaluated by Yama, who will decide if one should get reborn or get punished at the hell. Those who committed the Five Grave Offenses (killing one’s father, killing one’s mother, killing an Arhat, shedding the blood of a Buddha, and creating a schism within the community of Buddhist monks and nun who practice for attaining enlightenment.) will be sent to the Avici Hell and stay there eternally. Kṣitigarbha is the Lord of the Nether World, ruling the ten court of Hell. The lord will set up the “Hall of Teaching” at each court to salvage those sinful ones who still obtain few merits at the offering rituals.

    Human beings live the Sahā world (sahāloka in Sanskrit, meaning “endurance of suffering,” a concept of mundane world in Mahāyāna Buddhism) where they share with other reincarnations (including beings of the hells, of the preta, and of malevolent nature spirits) with five turbidities (the Kalpa turbidity, the view turbidity, the affliction turbidity, the living beings turbidity, and the life turbidity). Those who commit the ten evil deeds (killing, stealing, adultery, lying, using immoral language, slandering, equivocating, coveting, anger, and false views) must fall into the three evil paths (animals, preta, and hell). However, how can one escape from the three realms/ twenty-eight heavens (including the six heavens of the desire realm, the eighteen heavens of the form realm, and the four heavens of the formless realm)? Worldly people who don’t have such an awareness cannot leave the cycle of the twelve nidanas (meaning causes or motivations), let alone eliminate the eighty-one afflictions (that have been produced due to misunderstanding regarding reality) and the eighty-eight illusions (including five afflictions of advanced practitioners, also known as five views: view of self, extreme view, evil view, view of attachment to views, and view of morality; and five unintelligent temptations: desire, anger, stupidity, arrogance, and doubt) of thought within the three realms and four Arya satyas (noble truths, including suffering, arising, ending, and path). They cannot realize that the essence of the five skandhas (referring to aggregates of clinging, including the matter of form, sensation, recognition, mental formation, and consciousness) , the twelve ayatana (meaning sense base, including six internal bases: eye, ear, nose, tongue, body, and mind and six external bases: visible objects, sound, odor, taste, touch, and mental objects), and the eighteen dhātavah (meaning compositional elements of human existence, including six consciousness, six faculties, and their objects) are the emptiness and the void. Furthermore, they cannot dispel the two reasons for clinging to the idea of the self and the attachment to elemental constructs and even believe in the two (false) tenets that that karma and nirvana are not real and that the ego and phenomena are real. As a consequence, they fail to develop the eleven wholesome mental factors (faith, energy, conscience, being ashamed, non-attachment, non-aggression, non-delusion, calmness, equanimity, conscientiousness, and non-injuriousness) and cease the sixteen unwholesome mental factors (desire, greed, anger, delusion, arrogance, doubt, wrong view, wrath, enmity, hypocrisy, vexation, jealousy, parsimony, deceit, flattery, harming, ambitiousness, stupidity, lacking of faith, idleness, being unrestrained, forgetting, distraction, non-discernment, ). One must bear in mind that once all our virtuous roots are discontinued, they will be trapped in the never-ending reincarnation and the suffering of infinite continuity.
    Is it possible that the hell will be empty one day? If the beings in hell will become extinct while evil spirits inhabit the mundane world, the world could be considered as a pure land. If we could witness the nature of the void, then hell will exist no more.
    Since ancient times, the concept of hell has been widely spread among all tribes. Aging, death, beginning, and end are the basis of nature and the core of cosmic consciousness. However, the prosperous civilization as our island is not a place where desire can be eliminated. It’s impossible to eradicate evil nature. Since fetters brought by the constitution, the state, the law, society, the military, corporations, schools, families, and groups are not less than the eighteen levels of hell, the mortals repress themselves, bury their feelings. Day after day, greed, anger, stupidity, arrogance, doubt, and resentment are stacking. However, since the six dust (visible objects, sound, odor, taste, touch, and mental objects) has not yet been extinguished, people in the mundane world are still full of delusions. The demons, devils, evil spirits, and the wondering dead exist in the wilderness, while only advanced practitioners with transcendent would attempt to make contact with the dead in the wasteland and forest. Worldly people like us trespass in Disneyland-like man-made hell. It is absurd and ridiculous that the hellish scenes cannot stop us from perpetrating evil deeds, but the horrific and cruel scenes yet satisfy our self-righteous shame.

    The pandemic has been boiling over for more than a year and a half. The number of infected patients worldwide is nearly a hundred and eighty million, and the death toll has risen to four million, which is equivalent to a war crisis. I hope that we can all be compassionate, give peace to the dead, treat all sentient beings well and equally. The hell is innately empty; however, deluded and misleading thoughts would give rise to all jealousy and hatred and then manifest the hell before us. This book merely serves as a memorandum of conscience for dictators of the world’s new cold war, supporters of unrestrained warfare, dark web hackers, and those who are cunning and contemptuous and maltreat others when knowing they have problems.
