關於 三十五佛懺三輪 ，我們在網路上蒐集到這些相關的討論、資訊與評價

釋迦牟尼佛祂的悲願是偉大的，只要稍有機會，便用開示悟入的智慧，希望可以讓一切聲聞、緣覺、菩薩入無生法忍的境界，但這談何容易？文中不是也有提到欲令心入無生法忍，重點就在於如何入？這個「入」，也就是要告訴菩薩們應該要怎麼樣修證，才可以真正進入獲得無生法忍的果位。實際上，這個無生法其實是每個眾生本自俱足，這個法也就是本來就不生不滅，就在於你如何去體悟到，但這不容易，一般的凡夫也都只是體會到文字相而已，看得懂，道理也明白，但是否可以悟入這種境界就不知道了。現在學習佛法的環境生態，大部分也都是停留在這般的境界中，就如同前段時間有一位老菩薩……也認識很多年，平常唸佛也唸得很精進，他心中一直有一個希望──在他往生之年可以去受菩薩戒。後來某大寺廟正好在舉辦三壇大戒，其中就有菩薩戒，他很高興地去受戒，回來後很得意地說他終於獲得菩薩戒。同樣這個道理，你受是受，聽是聽，但能持否？能守否？能行否？很多人也都聽經無數，可是聽是聽，修是修，但有證量否？有實修否？許多人都落在光影門頭上，一晃這一生就過去，這也是我近來常常會和一些同參們互相提醒之處。
　
人身難得，佛法難聞，短短的一生中如果到處趕場求法，但最終莫衷一是，無所適從，這個法修修，那個法看看、試試，到了七老八十開始緊張，不知如何一門深入，這個問題比較嚴重。我們每一個人一生中必定都造作過殺、盜、淫、妄、酒等業力，很多人也許覺得自己沒有，那是因為不懂業力因果的緣故，從簡單的，從小到大幾乎人人都造過殺業，殺業不是單純的殺人，我們無意中踩到的蟑螂、螞蟻和習慣性地拍打蒼蠅、蚊子……至於為了貪圖口腹，從小到大誰敢說自己沒有造作過見殺、令殺、聞殺等殺業呢？這個一仔細追談下去那實在太多太多，只要明白和相信因果的人就知道，這五種戒行一旦有所染著犯到，你下輩子還有可能獲得人身嗎？人身無法獲得，自然三惡道有分。
　
那地獄道種種的現象，如果看了會心生恐懼，那還有救，問題是有些高知識分子、學科學的、學醫學的，凡事都要求證可否相信，這又是另一個問題。相信的人了解到自己是罪業凡夫，最起碼還懂得求懺、悔過，或者最起碼害怕自己墮入三惡道，還會想辦法淨化和好好地一心唸佛，此類人如果對淨土法門尚有信解心，終究還是可以離苦得樂，往生西方，怕就是怕有些人，凡事都要看到證據，他才肯唸佛、信佛，那這類的就沒辦法。生在這五濁惡世的末法時期，最有福報、最有智慧的人，便是可以虛心接受善知識所給予的講解，同時又可以明因果、相信輪迴的痛苦，進而相信佛的慈悲和阿彌陀佛的願力，這種是最有福報的眾生，因為他知道一旦失卻了這一世的人身，再一輪迴就不知道千劫萬劫？

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。

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.

《人有誠心，真佛有感應》

今天，農曆五月十八，陽曆6月27日，是我根本上師，聖尊蓮生活佛，的77歲生日。我已有三年沒見到師佛。翻出三年前寫的見證，刊登在這裡，以此祝賀師佛生日快樂，佛體安康，恆轉法輪，也讓大家明白皈依明師的重要性。

你們常常說我的佛法影片讓你們茅塞頓開，心開意結。我把這一切的功德都迴向給盧師尊，因為我所會的，都是祂教的。沒有祂，就不會有蓮花季謙。

——————————————————

醫生：「妳子宮內有個3.9公分的瘤，還有3粒1.1到1.8公分的息肉。這麼大粒的瘤，不會自己掉出來。我們必須動手術割除，再送去化驗看是否有癌細胞。」

如果你是我，距離手術還有1.5月的時間，你會怎麼做？

●

我在2017年10月，首次月事沒準時來。兩個星期後，在11月7日，月事就來報到，但這一來，便連續65天都「見紅」。

起初，我以為是10月和11月的月事一起來，但時間越久，越覺得不對勁。

在2017年12月16日，馬來西亞吉隆玻的《大幻化網金剛護國大法會》，我爲自己的纏身靈報名做主祈。列隊等待向師尊獻哈達時，我心裡斟酌著要不要開口向師尊說，可是師尊身邊的人多，排隊隊伍也長，這種事講出來又有點難以開口⋯⋯

沒事，我默禱，師尊的法身遍滿十方法界，祂一定會聽得到，我安慰著自己。

于是，我一邊排隊，一邊看著師尊，向祂重覆著我的祈求：祈求師尊加持我的月事能停止，恢復正常運作。

法會上，當大幻化網金剛的咒音響起時，師尊用了5分鐘的時間，加持與會大眾病業消除。我用手摸著我的下腹部，一邊持咒，一邊觀想大幻化網金剛放光加持自身。

●

我心中焦慮，吃了兩個星期的中藥，月事不止。

2018年1月7日去看新加坡竹腳婦幼醫院的醫生，吃了3個星期的荷爾蒙藥，終於止血了。

1月26日，我去醫院做掃描和鏡檢，X-光師神色凝重地說我子宮內膜有瘤和息肉。心情頓時往下沉。

1月27日，月事重新來潮。

1月28日，傍晚時分，我經痛得非常厲害，前所未有。我在車裡縮成一團，不停地喊痛，觀想師尊放白光加持我的下腹部。突然感覺下體漸漸排出一大塊東西，到廁所檢查，驚訝地發現是一大片的血液組織，長達15公分，厚度1公分左右。

1月29日，剛好修滿了200壇四加行的最後一壇，迴向給纏身靈。

到醫院，醫生分析掃瞄和鏡檢結果，說我子宮內有四粒瘤和息肉。最大的3.9公分，應該是導致我流血不止的原因，問我何時要動手術。我向她說排出血液組織之事，她說是子宮內膜，但也說這麼大的瘤和息肉，不會自己掉出來（它們在裡面都長了根）。

醫生檢查我的下體時，還說好像在陰道入口處看到一粒1.1公分的息肉，與鏡檢報告吻合。恰逢要過農曆新年了，我當時無法決定，心裡想一定要寫信給師尊，唸滿1000遍高王經，才進手術室。醫生再開三個星期的荷爾蒙藥給我。

回家後，我開始唸高王觀世音真經，並向師尊發願懺悔。

2月5日，我並沒有服用第二輪的荷爾蒙藥，月事就自然停止。

我也去尋求中醫的意見，中醫師也鼓勵我去動手術。 他說沒有藥可以把這瘤和息肉去除，留久在身內，唯恐發炎。他建議動手術後，再回來以中藥調理身子。

●

3月5日，月事來報到，也在7天後自然停止。

我開始想，是否因爲排出多於的子宮內膜，瘤和息肉便消失，所以月事已恢復正常？但想到醫生說，這麼大的瘤不會自己消失，及她的所見，如果幸運的話，只是漸漸變小，不會突然「無影無蹤」。

再想到，自己過去所犯的戒律這麼多，又不算是精進，奇蹟怎麼會輕易地發生在我身上呢？

等待手術的一個半月內，我盡力地爲自己消業障。

一、我師父（也是引渡我皈依蓮生活佛的老師）爲我報名2月份，愛染明王法會的主祈。

二、我開3次的臉書直播，以英文介紹師尊的善書文集，《當下集》、《了凡四訓》和《玉曆寶鈔》，自掏腰包把30幾本善書，寄給有興趣的臉書朋友，不分國界。我只有約396位朋友，新加坡的各種族，但大部份都不認識師尊。

三、唸高王觀世音真經1000遍，迴向可以不用動手術，瘤和息肉也會消失，若非得動手術，祈求病源立解、手術順利、康復迅速。

四、寫信給師尊懺悔，並求加持。回信中有「消肌瘤」和「消婦女病」兩道符籙。我在手術前一晚，持咒服下。

五、看到真佛般若藏徵求「讀書人」爲師尊文集錄製有聲書，我拉著我家師兄去報名。獲選後，我添購新的器材以備錄音，也尋找資深老師來練朗讀。

六、焚化幾次真佛金紙。

●

2018年3月22日，我入院動手術，心中七上八下的。我也從沒試過一天內，結界那麼多次。😅

一、出門前，向壇城諸尊祈禱，然後結界，放金剛沙在頭頂。
二、在更衣室，爲手術袍唸「嗡。啊。吽」、觀想白光清淨、披甲、沾些護摩灰在衣內。
三、爲病床唸「嗡。啊。吽」，觀想白光清淨、做避魔金剛彈。
四、醫生放藥物進我身體時，唸「嗡。啊。吽」，觀想白光清淨藥物。
五、爲棉被襪子唸「嗡。啊。吽」、披甲。
六、一直觀想師尊住頂。
七、唸護法心咒、大力金剛心咒和禁鬼咒。
八、四個小時後，被推向手術室，得經過很長的路，還搭電梯，心中向師尊本尊護法默禱：麻醉藥生效後，祈求三根本加持守護。若有任何閃失，祈求接引。往生淨土，超生出苦，南無阿彌陀佛，南無阿彌陀佛，南無阿彌陀佛。

我一直壓抑著自己的恐懼，告訴自己不可以丟真佛弟子的臉，好歹也要莊嚴地面對手術及可能發生的併發症。

動手術，身上不能戴護牌。進到手術室時，真的好像電視劇裡那樣的場景，自己頓時覺得很孤單，想到師尊講的，人真的什麼都沒有。當麻醉師把氣罩覆蓋在我鼻子前時，我再次祈求師尊，把自己的身心交給祂做主。

●

手術醒來後，主治醫生並沒來探望我。一個人深夜在病房裡想了很多，昏昏沉沉地觀看著師尊開示，心中很感恩祂教導我們那麼多的法門來保護自己，爲自己消業增福，由凡入聖。我自知業障不輕，雖很想像一些師兄師姐們腫瘤消失不必開刀、癌症不藥而癒等，但人要有自知之明，我不懷疑師尊的法力，只怪自己不爭氣。

隔天早上，一位小醫生進來向我說：「主刀醫生說妳子宮內沒有任何瘤或息肉。」，還給了我一份子宮內的照片，證實裡面的「乾淨」。後來，另外一位醫生也進來說了同樣的話。

幾個小時後，主治醫生進來病房：「好消息！妳子宮內並沒有任何瘤和息肉！我們有一查再查，都找不到。子宮內膜有點厚，所以我刮除了一些，送去化驗。但依我看，裡面不像有癌細胞，或可能癌變。可能那些瘤和息肉已隨著妳月事排出來了。」

聽著醫生的話，我啼笑皆非。不是說這麼大粒的瘤，不會自己掉出來的嗎？現在連一粒米粒大的息肉都找不到，我不是白動手術嗎？天啊～～消業障啊！😂

我來月事65天，又不見得那些東西掉出來，荷爾蒙藥也沒有除掉瘤和息肉的能力，如果不是師尊的超級大法力，你說是什麼？

我2006年在我師父的引渡下皈依了師尊。那時，我只讀了《當下的明燈》，對於師尊了解不深，之前也未聽過師尊的聖名。有位婦女送了本書給我，回家一讀，原來是本寫盡師尊壞話的書，又是詐財，又是貪色，又是搞神通。我心中驚慌，我不會皈依了假和尚吧？！可是我師父人很正直，又有慧眼，不會笨得信錯和尚呀！于是，我帶著福尔摩斯的眼鏡，把那本書再讀一遍，發現作者的「邏輯」有很多漏洞，所寫的，都沒有真憑實據，只是依照自己的感受和不滿，及他人所推測的，胡寫一通。可惡！侮辱我智慧，又毀謗我師尊！我擇了「除」日，一把火就把那書給「火供」了。

我先生同一年皈依後，一夜的夢，脊椎骨歪曲的問題突然改善了很多。他的見證收錄在師尊文集，第253冊《夢見盧師尊》的《脊椎骨歪曲》裡。

我外婆在2006年秋季過世，七七49日內，家人都陸續地夢到外婆，唯獨我。我心中納悶，那時人在紐約，決定不做避魔金剛彈，便入睡。當晚，就夢到我外婆，夢境異常清晰。外婆叫我爲外公（已故十多年）皈依，我知道外婆指的是皈依蓮身活佛。外婆本身臨終前已皈依師尊。我點頭說好，就醒來。回到新加坡，到祖先牌位前撲杯問外公，是不是要皈依蓮生活佛，真的得到一連串的聖杯！我不鼓勵大家模仿我不結界就入眠，入你夢的不一定是你婆婆，但這也顯示有傳承力的「避魔金剛彈」是多麼厲害，師尊在陰間的名聲多響亮，連我阿公都知道！

我母親是一個不喜歡神佛的人。我與她之間，曾有過很多意見分歧。後來，我唸滿了十萬遍上師心咒迴向後，脾氣不好的母親竟然同意皈依師尊！

我皈依師尊時，並不是求祂能保佑我什麼。那時，只想要學會什麼是真正的佛法，及如何帶領自己和雙親到達彼岸。至今還有點不敢想像，書裡讀到的奇蹟真的發生在我身上。

想說，我們在修行的路上會有很多考驗，照著師尊所教的去做，必能一一化解。我一生人做錯很多事情，但12年的風風雨雨過後，我依舊覺得皈依當代法王蓮生活佛，相信祂，是我人生做得最對的決定。感恩師尊的不捨不棄！

🌈夫夫環島愛台灣上一集請點此
Please watch the previous episode 👉 https://fufuknows.pros.si/LoveTaiwanEp14


我們走進回憶裡，卻又帶走更多新的回憶往前。 

環島倒數最後一個夜晚，明天，就是這趟旅程的尾聲。好神奇呀！十五天前我們才剛整裝待發，焦慮著好多事情，出發以後每天都喊著不想環島了！好累好熱好濕好黏好後悔，每天都想結束環島的行程，可又每天都還是堅持下去。 

結果這麼喊著鬧著，這趟旅程即將圓滿，而我們也在這趟旅程裡得到好多好多寶藏。 
 
 

入住長榮桂冠酒店，剛剛在十九樓的咖啡廳啜飲一點小酒，看著窗外的海景，夜裡燈光閃爍，船隻進港又出海，無數個故事在這些閃爍的燈裡發生，一個有感，我轉過頭面向里歐對他說： 

「突然想到一件事，我們兩個人，一起繞了台灣一圈。」 

是呀！就這麼簡單的一件事，卻非常不容易。就像他昨晚還又再故意提了一次「所以我們緣分真的盡了嗎？」但我卻是笑笑回應他「就算盡頭了！我們也創造了新的緣分，新的路要開始走了！」 

懷抱著這樣的感覺，擁抱著無數的感恩，迎接著各種感動，倒數的前一晚總是令人感性，充滿不捨卻又對未來展開無限的期待。 
 
 

今天我們簡單逛了蘭陽博物館，在三貂角燈塔拍好美的照片，沿著大海騎到基隆，還記得上一次來是口試結束後，弟弟開著車，帶媽媽和里歐一起來。還在極樂寺吃了極樂麵，在廟口一起撐著傘逛街。而再上上一次，則是麗星郵輪的「愛無標籤，幸福啟航」，和一群好姊妹們在船上度過美好的四天。 

更早以前還來參加過極樂寺一整個禮拜的梁皇寶懺法會，再更早之前還在基隆佛光青年小雞的帶領下，去了外木山、潮境公園與享受基隆美食，再更早更早前，和里歐剛當YouTuber時，來拍了孝三路美食，兩人騎車要上基隆地標還大迷路。 

一步一步，我們彷彿走進回憶裡，可又在這些地方，帶了新的回憶，繼續往前。
