小時候有戴過夜光手錶嗎?看著表盤上的數字與指針在黑暗中透出微弱螢光,感覺既新奇又潮炫。但說起夜光這項技術,在1920年代歐洲戰事期間可是用於飛機上的夜光儀器,或是槍械上的瞄具、船艦的指南針等軍事裝備。由於表盤繪製精細度攸關人命,無疑地需要完美無缺的繪製能力。
當年就有一群十幾二十多歲的女孩,加入了夜光表盤繪製的工作。她們每天都用含有鐳粉的塗料,以極細的駱駝毛筆,精準地畫在小小表盤的數字上。為了加速工作效率、確保品質,女孩們習慣將畫筆放進嘴中舔尖,不斷重複著「舔、沾、畫」的動作,只求能多完成表盤成品,換取頗豐厚的薪資。
但是,沒人告訴這群鐳女孩,鐳所產生的游離輻射會對人體造成致命的危害,甚至有三分之一的女工死於癌症。更可惡的是,雇用女工們的美國鐳企業,故意隱匿了這些資訊,即使最後雙方對簿公堂,還用了各種不實手法卸責。那些原本該是閃耀年華的鐳女孩,以生命照亮了美國勞工職業災害最黑暗的一段歷史,讀來唏噓不捨,至為沈痛。

「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.

=============================
以下為本段內容文稿:
年過四十,會有愈來愈多的機會跟「年輕人」聊天,我要常常要提醒我自己,不要不知不覺的就進入「說教的模式」。
像是動不動就說「啊這樣比較好啊!」、「啊工作不就是這樣嗎?」、或者是更有時代感的,像是「吃得苦中苦~」這種說起來很對,但聽的人心裡會很幹的話。
這樣的表達其實沒有票房就算了,還會惹來別人的白眼,好一點的喔,就是他會直接放空給你看。
其實有一點自覺的人,心裡也會擔心,自己這樣子一直說、一直說,這樣是不是不太好?雖然多數有這樣自覺的人,還是會忍不住一直說就是了!
少數那些控制得了自己的,開始會問年輕人一些問題,那不問還好;殊不知一開口又問像是「有沒有男朋友啊?」、「工作怎麼樣啊?」,這種讓人翻白眼、翻到天邊的問題啊!
有些人呢,會為了這件事情上課學習,特別是我遇上進我教室的朋友,但往往他們在一剛開始,就會以為所謂的「會聊天」,就是呢一定要很能夠「創造話題」。
所謂的「冷場」是萬惡的根源,於是呢,他用盡心力創造了很多話題,不創造還好,一創造又加重了對方的眼部疾患~「習慣性白眼症候群」!
因為你創造的,不是對方在乎的啊!這個時候,還不如冷場了,至少年輕人會覺得你是個有禮貌、而且又安靜阿北或者是阿姐。
其實喔,人都是自我關注的,這是一個簡單到不行的共同性。
所以呢,如果能夠讓人在跟你互動的時候,彷彿是更關注「他自己」,從對方有興趣的事情,給予回應,這才是王道啊!
但是到底要怎麼做呢,才能讓對方打開「自己」的話匣子呢?你可以試試看三個方法~
第一個方法,叫做多多使用「情緒標籤」的方式來回應對方。
像我這樣的中年人喔,往往在聽別人說話的時候,很容易自動導航到「評論模式」,開始給一推「意見」!
拜託!這整件事情的是非曲直,到底是干卿底事呢?
就像有人說過,「干我屁事」可以解決人生50%的問題;而另外50%的問題,有沒有解決方案呢?有啊,那就是「干你屁事」嘛!
就算你覺得他跟你說的跟你有關,這可能也只是「你覺得」;在他沒有「覺得」跟你有關之前,是沒有人在乎、更沒有人期待你的「人生經驗」的,ok?
然而使用「情緒標籤」的好處,就是不會給人一種當裁判,來評斷的感覺;而且呢,會引導你眼前的人說出更多的資訊。
像是呢,如果有年輕人跟你說:「昨天去夜衝,一個晚上沒睡覺、早上還到陽明山去看日出~」
這個時候,請你喔克制自己去跟他說「太晚睡會傷身體,等你到了我這個年紀就知道了」;或者是更讓人反彈的「時間要用在有意義的事情上,否則老大徒傷悲」這樣的話。
拜託!你的年紀跟你的傷悲,真的不是他的重點。這時候如果你說:「哇~聽起來好有趣」、「蠻熱血的」、「很開心吼!」
甚至於你實在不知道怎麼樣用情緒標籤,你可以用一個萬用句型。比如說:「夜衝之後去看日出,啊這是什麼感覺?」
這些話都會讓人覺得,你不是那種討人厭的中年人啊!
可能因為這樣的回應,他會說更多的內容跟細節,還勾起你當年的回憶,來個跨越世代的什麼?「熱血事件簿」!
其實啊,當情緒有了共鳴,你是不是反而會有更多的機會,從你現在的「傷悲」讓他想一想,或許可以怎麼樣安排自己的人生呢?
我相信你的建議是非常很好的,但總要能夠讓人「聽得進去」才行得通啊,不是嗎?
第二個方法,請你聚焦在「對方、對方、對方!」
有時候喔,對話的起頭可能是你自己,但是如果你沒有適時的,把鏡頭偶爾移到對方身上,對方真的會覺得他自己在面對的,是一個賣瓜的老王啊!會愈來愈無聊。
其實開心的交流,就像是棒球的傳、接球,你總要把對方的球接住之後、再回傳給他,這樣才會好玩,不是嗎?
只是很多人喔,要不是他不接對方的球,任由球掉在一旁,他還很荒謬的拿起自己想拿的球,還丟給對方;甚至於,丟到對方根本接不到的地方去。
然後還倚老賣老的說:「你怎麼接不到呢?你怎麼聽不懂呢?唉~真的是太年輕了!」
如果你真心不想要跟年輕人產生連結,那你就這樣繼續下去,沒有關係的!
但是要怎麼樣聚焦在對方的身上呢?你可以試試看這樣的說法:「如果是你,你會怎麼做?」,或者是「你聽到這裡覺得怎麼樣?」。
再不然就是「你有類似的經驗嗎?那個時候發生了什麼事情?」像這樣的說法,都是適時的把焦點轉移一下,讓鏡頭可以轉向對方。
而第三個方法、就是找出讓對方覺得開心的話題。
其實啊,在你用心落實前面兩個方法的過程當中,你就會慢慢的感受到,他在說什麼的時候,他會特別的開心?他眼中喔,會閃爍著神采?他會愈講愈多、欲罷不能?
你有意識的聚焦在這些話題裡面,如果對方說的,真的是離自己的經驗跟認知太遠;那這個時候,你只要善用情緒的標籤,讓對方感受到你在乎他的感受。
或者是適時的去聚焦在對方的身上,你就會發現跟年輕人互動,其實很簡單。因為花力氣在一直說話的人,不是你誒,是對方誒!
然且,對方又會覺得你在這個過程裡面,覺得你「超好聊」的。
有點年紀的優點之一,就是比較會觀察人,我相信你一定看得出來,除非你從一剛開始就沒在看、或者是不想看。
如果是這樣,我看你還是多跟自己在一起就好了,不要害更多年輕人罹患「習慣性翻白眼症候群」!
說到這裡,其實歲月的歷練,本來就會給我們無可取代的經驗;只是當這份經驗,滲入了我們評斷的味道,它就會失去老滷汁的風韻,而成為了一鍋臭不可聞的餿水。
每一代人啊,都有他的挑戰跟他的機會,我們實在沒有什麼資格,對其他人指手畫腳;更不能用關愛跟擔心來包裝,事實上是進行很粗暴的控制。
每一句「為你好」這三個字的背後,其實都是撕裂了關係,也沒有辦法幫助他人,活出自己想要的美好。
你要讓自己的愛與關懷,成為別人收得下的禮物,這才是顯現出歲月帶給你的價值,不是嗎?而我會把這樣的價值,稱之為「智慧」。

=============================
以下為本段內容文稿:
我想不管在任何的時代,或者是你面對各種不同文化的人,問他們同樣一個問題,叫做「你要怎麼樣讓自己變得更快樂呢」?
可能呢,你會聽到很多的答案,但是其中有一個答案,會有高度的共同性;就是呢,很多人會講「我只要更有錢,就會更快樂」!
那這也難怪哦,「發大財」這三個字,永遠會是一個有市場的訴求。
而且呢,很多調查研究,都一再的顯示「更有錢」這個選項,一直是高居快樂的必要清單裡。
但是「快樂」真的可以用錢買得到嗎?還是金錢的渴望,注定會讓人失望呢?
在1970年代,西北大學的菲利普.布里克曼,他和他的同仁,做了一個特別的實驗,提供了這個問題的部分解答。
布里克曼他想知道喔,人在實現財富的夢想的時候,他的快樂程度會有什麼變化?當天外飛來一大筆橫財的時候,真的可以讓人長期的笑逐顏開嗎?
還是等到新的財富,變得平凡無奇,也就是我們已經習慣它之後,而最初的興奮感,也會迅速的消逝呢?
布里克曼呢,他聯絡了一群,曾經中過「伊利諾州彩券大獎」的人;其中有好幾個人,更是百萬彩金的得主。他也從伊利諾州的電話簿裡,隨機抽樣相同的人數,作為實驗的「對照組」。
他請每個人評估自己「快樂的程度」,以及「預期自己未來會有多快樂」。另外呢,他也問他們「從日常生活的樂趣裡,獲得多少的歡樂」?
比如說,和朋友打屁呀、聽到好笑的笑話啊、接受讚美…等等的。而這個實驗結果,讓人清楚的瞭解到「快樂」跟「金錢」到底有什麼關連?
研究的結果,其實違反了我們一般人的直覺。那些中大獎的人,並沒有比對照組的人,「快樂」或者是「不快樂」。
而且請他們預期「未來能有多快樂」的時候,「實驗組」跟「對照組」也沒有顯著的差別。
而事實上,他們唯一的差別就是,比起「中大獎」的人,「對照組」的人更能夠從日常當中,簡單的事物裡得到樂趣。
其實「中大獎」雖然能夠讓人得到一筆橫財,但是畢竟它是比較少見的。所以有些心理學家,也觀察那些透過工作,一步一步的累積財富的人;去瞭解他們「收入」跟「快樂」之間的關係。
其中有一部分的研究,是進行大規模的國際調查。從各國的人,去評估自己的快樂程度;然後呢,以各國平均快樂等級,相對於他們的國民生產毛額(GNP)繪製圖表。
結果就顯示喔,那些貧困國家的人民,雖然沒有那些富裕國家人民快樂,但是當一個國家的GNP,超過一個普通的水準之後,「財富」跟「快樂」之間的相關性,就消失了。
有些研究檢視,一個人的「薪資」跟「快樂」之間可能的關係,發現的模式也是相同的。
這些結果都告訴我們,當我們一旦有能力,去支應生活當中的必需品之後;這個時候收入的增加,並不會讓人成正比的,變得更快樂。
其實這樣的現象,就回到了我們的心理運作;我們通常都會有一種「感覺適應」的狀態。
也就是說,當你習慣了自己擁有的一切,你的人生第一次,買了一台你夢寐以求的車子的時候,那個當下你會是最快樂的。
可是當你每天都開這台車,這台車之於你,已經變成是一種習慣的存在的時候,你的主觀快樂感受,就不會隨之而增加。
而且呢,你的快樂感受,也會因為你的習慣,很快的回復到,你還沒有得到這台車之前的快樂水平。
就如同有一位心理學家,戴威.邁爾斯他所說的:「因為我們有能力,為越來越多的名利調適自我;昨日的奢華,可能很快的就變成今日的必需品,跟明日的紀念品。」
所以呢聽到這裡,或許你會感覺就連最後一個,能夠因為「有錢」帶來的快樂,這個希望都破滅了;那麼「快樂」好像感覺起來,是一件很困難的事?
其實恰巧相反,快樂並不困難;你要讓自己能夠快樂,其實關鍵真的不在於,你獲得的任何外在事物。這些外在事物,它幾乎不可避免的,都會進入你的心裡的「感覺適應」的循環裡。
說白話文吧,就是當你得到它之後,那個快樂的程度,接下來會呈跳水的方式,它很快的回到,你還沒有它之前的水準。
甚至於,你會更難過。因為你會有一種感覺,怎麼我有了錢,還是不快樂呢?所以真正的快樂,不是來自於你得到這些,而是在於你所關注的事情。
如同上一集,跟大家分享的「一天聽一點」的內容;那句聽起來,有一點雞湯的話,「快樂不在於你遇上的事,而在於你專注的地方」。
那麼你要專注的,是那些幾乎你在得到之後,注定就會產生「適應效果」的事情;還是你要專注在「你自己」身上?
尤其是,那些值得你付出一輩子的事情。可能是你愛的人,你有跟他好好相處嗎?
又或者是,你所愛的事物。當你投入一件,你真正所愛的事物的時候,其實做那件事的本身,就是快樂;而不是做那件事情的結果。你說是嗎?
希望今天的分享,能夠帶給你一些啓發與幫助,我是凱宇。
如果你喜歡我製作的內容,請在影片裡按個喜歡,並且訂閱我們的頻道。別忘了訂閱旁邊的小鈴鐺,按下去;這樣子你就不會錯過,我們所製作的內容。
然而,如果你對於啟點文化的商品,或課程有興趣的話,我們近期的課程,是7月21號開課的【寫作小學堂】。
如果你很清楚知道,自己的人生始終是要寫一些東西的;那麼這一門課,千萬不要錯過。
或許透過文字的爬梳、自我的整理,你的人生裡想要的快樂,就在那隻字片語、文字交錯之間能夠獲得。
這一門課,由我的伴侶嘉玲老師,陪伴大家一起前進。相信你能夠透過這一門課,獲得文字之美,也能夠獲得寫作的快樂。
在我錄音的這個時候,7月21號【寫作小學堂】的名額,也已經在倒數了;所以期盼你,能夠把握這難得的機會。
相關的課程跟報名連結,在我們的影片說明裡都有,期望能夠在啟點文化的教室裡見到你,謝謝你的收聽,我們再會。

時間,魔力無邊。
醬料雜貨店正和隆,主打自家豉油、麵豉、甜醋,在上水石湖墟65年,如長流細水陪伴街坊每餐家常飯:蘸豉油魚更鮮,兩磚腐乳夠佐粥下飯;逢時過節爆薑下醬炆豬肉煮雞,豐腴滋味比得上酒樓大菜。
街坊就是鍾情這家醬料;但此情,差點成追憶!
想當年,老闆陳璧堃十足指腹為婚,不情不願從父親手上接過正和隆。做醬煮醋幾十年,沒有仇,卻賺得一身痛、半點恨;捱到65歲,把心一橫,擬於去年12月31日退休結業「脫苦海」。
怎料日月發酵,恨愛相生;準備離開,竟是徹底的歸來。
上水石湖墟巡撫街,水喉五金、紙紮、文具……生活小店當中有正和隆。店前西斜,老闆陳璧堃掛起紙皮遮光擋熱,裏外互相看不見,街坊是識途老馬,熟練地撥簾進出。小店不夠百呎,鮮有地整齊:樽樽罐罐不見有塵,豆類、雜穀一格格井然有序。所賣醬醋各有三五個品牌,店家出品的生抽老抽、原曬豉磨豉、甜醋和腐乳,售價貴幾元,卻最多人要。
「麵豉嗰日炆豬手炆得好靚,好食。」老街坊陳太一屁股坐在片糖缸改成的櫈子上,又告訴陳老闆:「我起碼一個月之後先行出嚟喇,因為腳痛要入院做手術。」今天她特意來入貨,買麵豉、豉油。
豉油,又恨又愛
陳璧堃,街坊都叫他「豉油佬」,皆因正和隆做豉油起家,他是第二代。上世紀40年代,父親陳根秀由南海來港,投靠開醬園的親戚做豉油;50年代初自設小工場做豉油、麵豉和甜醋,並在石湖墟開鋪。1955、56年間石湖墟被兩次大火吞噬,57年逐步重建,正和隆也在巡撫街現址重新啟業。
陳璧堃有四個姊妹,他是老三、排中間。「細細個住木屋,又是工場又是住家。兩個家姐睇鋪,我就周圍走,好百厭。」他怕父親,從來沒問過店名由來,只記得過年家中總掛一對對聯:「正直好生意 和氣定興隆」。
「老竇無咩讀過書,點作到咁好嘅對聯呢?」他哈哈大笑,轉瞬又皺眉:「做豉油做醬好辛苦,畀我揀我唔會做,但我讀書唔成,無得走!」他是唯一的兒子,二十多歲結婚後即接手店鋪;太太負責鋪面,他負責生產。
「做豉油會有一陣罨味,以前真係要用手去攪,一攪,陣味就出嚟,我都接受唔到;不過,呢啲係錢嚟㗎!」
他的工場在上水搬過幾次,90年代初因為業主收地被迫結束,自此在古洞一間豉油廠掛單租場,只做半加工。譬如豉油,已交給豉油廠師傅做,仍用自家招紙。
「做豉油最緊要用料靚用料足,夏天有熱頭曬就香啲。」他說。當年他試過十幾間豉油廠,找到一間的味和香跟自己做的相似。「我知道佢哋用加拿大非基因改造黃豆,發璜(按:煮好的黃豆混入麴菌、麵粉)撈美國麵粉,比日本麵粉膠質重啲、好啲;我自己一個人做太辛苦喇!雖然利潤無咁高,我寧願用佢嘅豉油。」
現在店中賣兩款自家頭抽和一款老抽,其中一款頭抽名為「鮮味生抽」,用豆比一般的多三分之一,濃稠如漿,鮮而豉味極重,可算鎮店之作。
麵豉甜醋,親手做
豉油外判了,只有麵豉和甜醋,他至今堅持親手做。
麵豉,一般貨色是發酵豉油剩餘的豆渣,鮮味盡去,很多時需加味精增味。但他做的賣的兩款麵豉:原曬豉和磨豉醬(前者仍見豆狀,後者是磨爛幼滑版)都沒抽製過豉油,保持原汁原味。「以前我啲磨豉係出咗豉油嘅,價錢平啲,主要交畀酒樓整叉燒;後來我只做零售,銷量少,乾脆用原曬豉攪磨,一樣係靚。」
市面常見的麵豉都是啡黃色,他的麵豉卻深啡色,驟眼看黑糊糊。他解畫:「麵豉好似人一樣,曬得愈耐會愈黑,愈黑就愈香。生曬啲豆喺豉油缸入面,上面曬到黑,下面嘅較黃,所以要成日翻佢,將底下嘅翻上面,不斷循環。」
他65歲了,依然記得父親當年的話:「醬,做就好易,打理好難。」
「你做,用料十足,曬得夠,一定做得好。不過擺耐咗就會有罨味,你點可以調番正呀?所以,唔係整好之後就冚埋,你要時不時拎出嚟曬,畀啲醬見下陽光會香啲。」
醬沒加防腐劑,放不久,所以他每次只做一小批。現在天時暑熱,醬賣少了,他也做少一些,「過咗中秋慢慢好,麵豉賣得最好,啲人有番胃口,多咗炆嘢;我都做得密啲,每次過千斤豆,一個月多啲就要做一次。」
講到做醬,最辛苦的步驟還數煮醬消毒。「唉!我做一次,就痛一次。」 他摸摸腰部,肌肉已成硬塊,隱隱作痛。
「啲醬容易黐底容易燶,要不斷剷,隻鑊又大,你要伸手彎住腰剷。室溫又高,得把牛角扇吹吹下,我一個人連續煮幾個鐘頭,不停流汗,煮一次起碼要飲4公升水。」最後洗鑊更辛苦,因為腰彎得更低。幸好十多年前起,煮醬有機器輔助,輕鬆了,但幾十年積下的舊患,纏身不去。
煮甜醋,相對沒那麼費勁,但一樣要忍。他採用本地酒房出產的白醋,加薑、桂皮、陳皮、丁香等等藥材做成甜醋。「煮呢個醋,一大鑊,嗰種藥材味好犀利,十足催淚彈,醃眼!咳!」
甜醋,他賣自家的,也賣其他品牌,「各有各鍾意啦,人哋要八珍,你無,佢會走咗去;我哋自家牌子就賣貴五六蚊。」
這日街坊王太帶了手拉車來買醋,「我孫仔啱啱出世,買去觀塘畀個新抱。」她嫌其他牌子太甜,「呢間鋪頭出嘅特別香,舊年冬天隔籬個事頭婆用佢煲薑,成條街都香晒。」
有人記住,陳璧堃笑瞇瞇,說:「到天時冷,啲人鍾意煲薑醋食下;事實上年尾多人結婚,到第二年10月、11月就有BB出世,甜醋特別好賣。」
以前煮完甜醋,五六桶藥材他當垃圾倒了,後來有朋友老遠從跑馬地來上水要「下欄」甜醋陳皮,他才識寶,現在煮完醋會挑回陳皮,但為非賣品,「而家?下人,有熟客寒咳唔係好囉!」
老店,差點結業
做醬煮甜醋,入缸,搬貨,幾十年陳璧堃獨力做,「我哋小型生產,唔請人。無辦法!為咗……我唔知點講呀!」他瞄瞄跟前在幫手的大女兒和二女兒,苦笑:「賺到痛,之外都係痛!近十幾年,我個個禮拜日就好似返學咁,要去做推拿。」
去年他和太太邁向65歲,本擬12月31日退休結束正和隆;就在12月中煮甜醋時,從不在工場拍攝的他,忍不住拿手機拍下那鑊滾滾冒煙的甜醋,題記:「人生最後一次」。
「唔捨得㗎!」說着,他眼圈紅起來,思緒飛回去年底:「瞓唔着囉!直情神經衰弱。」有個星期天,他試不去推拿留在家,「電視睇完又睇睇完又睇,無地方去。」以前他想像退休「呢度去嗰度去」,事實上英國朋友早邀他去歐洲玩,他又買了「200蚊深圳通」,偏偏成行在即已失去興趣,一副心神無處安放。
決心分手,原來放不下。他三個女兒,十多年前已表明不想接手家業,臨別秋波,也發現情難捨。
店一直由他和太太合力支撑,沒請人。二女兒陳敏怡(Agnes)說,每逢過年店就最忙,三姊妹必定預留整個星期的假回來幫手,想不到自己成為了第三代傳人。陳璧堃笑言,由1月1日起店轉了她名下,自己變做顧問兼打雜。
70後的Agnes在銀行做了十多年,連MBA也讀了,兩年前工作太辛苦辭了職,「嗰時爸爸媽媽正計劃退休,我哋三姊妹都好開心,因為新年終於唔使返鋪頭喇!」
去年年底,他們通知熟客和包租婆不做,「啲客人同爸爸講:『你退休,咁我哋去邊呀?我由做女食到而家喇!』我聽到,突然之間好唔捨得。呢個招牌六十幾年喇!」
她問爸爸取帳簿算了一番,「都ok嘅!我想留住個招牌。」又游說從事文職的大家姐陳敏慧回來幫手看鋪,自己負責市場推廣。姊妹同心,盼可斷金,帶着正和隆走進2017年。
十年如一日
陳璧堃搖搖頭說:「我準備退休,以為可以脫苦海啦!結果有啲抑鬱,百無聊賴,個女話做番,我又好似開心啲。」
不過,他認為做醬這行式微了,尤其新界東北發展如箭在弦,古洞的豉油廠分分鐘無得做。「一收地,你一係返大陸做,但水準、原料難控制,而且豆都係外國嘅靚啲。」女兒正在搶時間,找新貨源、拓客路,像早前便去了樂富街市擺車仔檔,臚列自家品牌豉油、醬醋和腐乳。
幾十年來,陳璧堃和朋友合作生產腐乳。十多年前朋友搬廠上深圳,招紙也「均真」地印着「Made in China」,同屬正和隆招牌貨,輕柔鬆化而不死鹹。
醬料之外,40多年前陳璧堃接手時已兼賣雜貨。今天雜貨不多也不雜,而每種乾貨他只賣一款,都是精挑細選,譬如蝦子麵,找到第四五個供應商才敲定。
「搭下貨囉,要維持到租金嘛,而家都要1000蚊一日㗎!」陳璧堃說。
除了鋪租,過去半世紀上水翻天覆地,但對正和隆和陳璧堃而言,只是微細的漣漪,就像醬醋味道,始終如一。
「雖然間中都有自由行嚟幫襯,我哋主要做街坊熟客。有人搬咗出九龍、港島、大嶼山都返嚟買醬,甚至移民去外國,都會帶啲醬過去。附近有圍村,新年依舊會煮盆菜,用好多醬。」
七八十年代,他的豉油、麵豉曾交給酒樓,但經常被人拖數、走數,「好多次喇!千幾蚊都彈票,嗰個年代唔算少數目。咪搞啦!我寧願淨做門市,收一蚊就係一蚊。」弱水三千,他只取一瓢。知足,常樂。
夏日炎炎,酸梅麵豉蒸排骨夠醒胃,有街坊要炆肉,大喊一聲「混醬,唔該!」只見陳老闆從五個醬缸輪流舀出小半勺倒入透明膠袋,用繩一紮,遞與客人,叮囑道:「返去放雪櫃,呢幾日好用喇!唔係會變酸。混醬鹹㗎,加啲冰糖,炆鴨炆腩肉都快啲腍。」這混醬,有自家磨豉、黑赭油(類似星馬的黑豉油)、甜醬、麻醬和南乳,即叫即混,也是父親傳下來的基本味道,就在日月蒸煮當中,摻着陳璧堃幾十年調出來的小變奏。
