《乾針》
你是否有聽過「乾針」治療？在門診很多病人看到我拿起針灸針的時候，都會很訝異難道西醫也變成中醫了嗎？隨著醫療的進步，越來越多古用新治的結合跨科發展。先來談談針灸，您知道鍼灸針的起源及原理嗎？如果你還在認為針灸只是起到治病那就錯了，今天讓我們來直觀的瞭解針灸針的功效。
武俠小說裡的銀針飛入飛出，極其精妙，像絕命毒師一樣銀針一出，必有一傷。其實要對針灸追根溯源的話，大眾所知它起源於中國，併具有悠久的歷史。傳說針灸起源於三皇五帝時期，相傳伏羲發明了針灸，他“嘗百藥而制九針”（東漢醫學家皇甫謐記載於《帝王世紀》）。而據古代文獻《山海經》和《內經》，有用“石籛”刺破癰腫的記載，「針灸療法」的起源就在石器時代。當時人們發生某些病痛或不適的時候，不自覺地用手按摩、捶拍，以至用尖銳的石器按壓疼痛不適的部位，而使原有的症狀減輕或消失，最早的針具：砭石也之而生。隨著古人智慧和社會生產力的不斷發展，針具逐漸發展成青銅針、鐵針、金針、銀針，直到如今用的不鏽鋼針。鍼灸的原理是以針刺和艾灸穴位相結合的方法。針刺法是用金屬製成的針刺入人體一定的穴位，應用手法調整營衛氣血，艾灸是用艾絨搓成條或柱，點燃溫灼於面板穴位表面達到溫通經絡、調和氣血的目的。針灸是針刺入病人的穴位達到刺激神經與經絡，再用火的溫熱刺激燒灼區域性，達到疏通經絡、活血化瘀、補氣運血、調手陰陽、調節體內各臟器的功能，從而達到防病治病的目的。

雖然針灸是起源於中醫，但現在許多西醫也用到了針灸針做乾針治療頑疾，醫師單用中空的針具，或西方物理治療師用針灸針對患肌激痛點扎針，稱為乾針。我們醫師根據病人症狀，按照肌肉激痛點處（肌肉結節）及筋膜走向進行鍼刺，對於許多緊張型的肌肉疼痛，乾針能取得很好的放鬆治療效果，現代醫療越來越多的人接受並推廣乾針或浮針，這在西醫裡也得到了綜合治療的應用。除此之外部分中西醫，針處加上電流，所謂的電針灸，不只治療疼痛、神經痛，甚至也可以用於減重。

在我門診，也時常進行乾針治療。

李婆婆，她算是我們醫院復健室的常客，前幾次改善了李婆婆的臂部疼痛：梨狀肌症候群，復健無法解決的，用亁針處理；近期正治療頸椎引起她喉部不適感及反覆落枕，估計再有幾次就差不多了。一次門診，我看婆婆拿起包包時眉頭皺了一下，右手舉不高，走路變得緩慢又駝背，計她的肩膀跟膝蓋也不行了，我請李婆婆在床緣趴下，挽起胳膊，在挽起袖子之後，看見肩膀及背部有紫色的皰疹，我問婆婆：「您的肩膀是不是痛到半夜睡不好呢？您上下樓梯有沒有困難呢？」「你怎麼知道？我的確肩膀到手會痛到沒有力氣，半夜因肩膀痛常常痛醒，前幾次一直想說的，但看您病人也多，可不太好意思。我這一身的病，怎能全都麻煩你了？」我說：「既然來都來了，在我能力範圍……」李婆婆接著說，她年輕時能吃苦，幹過農活，也在扛過重物。每天扛著百八十斤的田螺在市場上賣。有時一天打三份工，每天潮溼的環境，負重的強度，加大了膝蓋的負擔。常常睡得少，年輕時候也得過皮蛇。現年紀大了，全身關節都不行了，尤其是膝蓋，而睡眠問題就更不用說了。」婆婆肩膀痛是因為免疫力差得到皰疹攻擊身體的神經所致，我處方了皰疹神經炎的用藥，我再讓她放平膝蓋，右側髕骨周圍有一定程度的腫脹，髕骨周圍有壓痛點。膝蓋並未發紅。屈伸有痛感。手觸並無明顯骨性變形或骨性增生；而軟骨被磨損得喀喀作響。

肩膀經過抗生素及早治療，婆婆的皰疹神經炎完全改善。然而婆婆的喉嚨痛及脖子僵硬，甚及膝炎，隨著數次乾針後大幅改善。

在中醫的理論，年紀大了的人，解決骨病的最根本的方法，就是固腎。另外，肝主筋。關節也有筋，各種韌帶肌腱都屬於筋，所以還與肝有關。腎屬水，肝屬木。水生木。腎氣不盛，何以生肝？腿腳手臂指掌沒力，都是肝不給力。一聯絡經絡穴性，藏象原理。

西醫的乾針適用於治療肌肉筋膜發炎及僵硬。主要有兩種做法，一是紮在筋膜上，放鬆緊繃的肌肉，許多病人在一紮針下去就可以感受到疼痛減輕3～4成，就是因為長期緊繃的肌肉因扎針得到緩解。不過隨著患者日常活動、使用肌肉等狀況，經時間累積後疼痛可能會再復發，治療療效會呈現鋸齒狀逐漸下降。
另一種方法就是用針反覆在患處扎針造成該處組織輕度損傷，重新修復生長，這個原理與震波、增生注射療法類似，都是破壞組織進而讓組織重新修復。

在做乾針治療時，我拿起數根3寸針，為了避免病人害怕，在轉移注意力後，數針很快就進入肌肉了。雖然針長，有一些痛感、脹感，但沒想像中的可怕。當然乾針也是有風險的，除了比針灸痛以外，也是有類似針灸如出血感染及氣胸的風險。

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？

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.

#今日疫情重點【新增47例本土、13例死亡；強化邊境防疫，明日起實施「入境普篩且加做抗原快篩」政策；今起疫苗施打對象開放到第八類65歲以上長者接種】
　
台灣今日（7月1日）新增47例COVID-19（又稱新冠肺炎、武漢肺炎）本土確診案例、13例死亡，疫情雖趨緩，但有4個群聚專案仍需持續關注，包括北農、環南市場、新北市家禽合作社與屏東枋山。為防Delta變種病毒，指揮中心將再加強邊境防疫，宣布明（2）日開始將實施「入境普篩」，且在檢疫期滿前須再完成第二次PCR採檢，另於檢疫期10～12天時加做一次抗原快篩。
　
美國贈與台灣的250萬劑莫德納疫苗在今日開始接種，範圍擴大到優先順序第八類，即65歲以上長者，各縣市依照疫苗接種進度，進行族群、年齡分流接種。目前全台已經累計接種204萬3,218人次，包含AZ疫苗190萬8,861人次、莫德納疫苗13萬4,357人次，接種人口涵蓋率約8.52%。
　
￭新增47例本土確診，仍有四大群聚需關注
　
中央流行疫情指揮中心今日宣佈，新增47例本土確診案例（其中21例為居家隔離期間或檢疫期滿採檢確診），一共22例男性、25例女性，年齡介於未滿5歲至90多歲，發病日介於6月22日至30日。個案分布以新北市20例最多，台北市18例，桃園市5例，高雄市2例，新竹市、新竹縣各1例。自5月11日到6月29日，總共1萬3,549位確診個案中，已有1萬306人解除隔離，佔確診人數76.1%。
　
指揮中心對整體疫情研判表示，目前確診個案愈來愈少，不過目前還是有4個群聚專案仍需持續關注，包括北農、環南市場、新北市家禽合作社與屏東枋山，截至昨（30）日，4個群聚案件已累計確診達204人，最後監測日都要到7月12日。
　
指揮中心也針對7月12日後，若順利解除警戒後的相關措施進行研議，指揮中心指揮官、衛福部長陳時中表示，正在參考WHO及國際指引，將朝向「未來若又爆發疫情，該如何即時因應」的方向來規劃，因此會針對不同行業訂定指引，在人員管理、分流上班、健康監測、環境清潔消毒方面，都要達到一定標準。未來也會有餐飲業、市集、夜市等解封指引需訂定，主管單位也要負責教育訓練。
　
￭新增13例確診者死亡，16例疑似疫苗接種後死亡個案
　
今日新增13例確診者死亡，死亡人數較前日高，其中包括7例男性、6例女性，年齡介於50多歲至80多歲，發病日介於5月14日至6月18日，確診日介於5月18日至6月20日，死亡日介於6月17日至6月30日。
　
指揮中心醫療應變組副組長、疾病管制署副署長羅一鈞表示，其中一名死亡個案是70多歲男性（案8046），本身有慢性肺病、帕金森氏症，5月9日因肺病發病，住院時醫院出現確診群聚，而被匡列居家隔離。PCR採檢前三次都是陰性，期滿前陽性確診，後期因肺炎惡化、家屬同意簽署DNR後過世。
　
另一名50多歲女性（案13045），雖然較年輕，但為高血壓病患，長期洗腎，因家人確診而列為居家隔離，6月13日確診陽性，17日病況惡化過世。
　
除了確診死亡外，也新增16例疑似疫苗接種後死亡個案，其中9人為75歲以上長者。一名為年僅2個月大的女嬰，雖沒接種疫苗，但母親接種AZ疫苗後哺乳，隔日女嬰死亡。指揮中心發言人、疾病管制署副署長莊人祥表示，解剖發現女嬰死亡原因為上呼吸道感染、雙肺有大葉性肺炎。
　
台大急診部主治醫師、品質管理中心主任陳世英表示，由於媽媽接種疫苗隔天女嬰就死亡，時序太快，媽媽還來不及產生抗體；且就算有抗體傳給女嬰，也會是保護女嬰，不會攻擊肺部組織，「一般病理學上，大葉性肺炎都是細菌性感染引起居多，儘管要看病理報告才能證實，初步看來與疫苗應是無關。」
　
￭7月2日起加強邊境防疫，民眾入境全篩，且檢疫期間須採檢3次
　
近日傳播力愈來愈高的變種病毒成為世界各國的威脅，台灣也因為屏東枋山出現Delta病毒株群聚案而繃緊神經。陳時中今日表示，經過專家會議、綜合各方意見後做出新的邊境防疫措施，7月2日起，將進行入境普篩，且須檢驗3次，細節如下：
　
●所有入境旅客皆在入境時採檢PCR，檢疫第10～12天進行抗原快篩，12～14天再做一次PCR採檢。
●具有高風險國家旅遊史（包含巴西、印度、英國、秘魯、以色列、印尼及孟加拉）入境者，第一次入境採檢會在集中檢疫所進行，且所有人都必須入住集中檢疫所。
●其他一般旅客入境採檢在機場進行，可入住集中檢疫所或防疫旅館。
●若入境旅客驗出陽性，則會進行病毒基因定序，了解感染哪一種變種病毒株。
　
陳時中表示，過去沒有採納入境普篩的建議，是因為以前入境民眾都是在家進行檢疫，如果採檢陰性，容易造成防疫鬆懈，增加家庭內感染機率，「但現在所有人都入住防疫旅館或集中檢疫所，就算偽陰性也不會增加傳播風險，因此可以進行入境全篩。」不過陳時中也說，由於Delta病毒株並沒有潛伏期增長的狀況，因此不會延長檢疫時間。
　
陳世英表示，第10天加做抗原快篩，雖然可能會出現偽陽性的個案，但相對國外疫情嚴重，偽陽性個案就會比較少，而且加做抗原快篩可能原因有二：一是可以在早期偵測到確診個案，如果出現陽性，通常會馬上再做PCR，及早確診治療；第二，多數的個案就算進行抗原快篩也會是陰性，就不用3次都採用PCR採檢，可以節省成本，是合理的防疫方式。
　
機場採檢量能部分，指揮中心副指揮官、內政部次長陳宗彥表示，機場會依照每天預報入境人數來機動調整採檢人員。目前第一、第二航廈各有5個採檢站，每日入境人數約在200人至1,000多人，週五、週三的入境人數最多。陳宗彥表示，不管是自高風險國家入境的民眾、有症狀的旅客或一般無症狀旅客，入境的動線都已經建置完畢。
　
￭屏東枋山群聚維持15人，不明感染源的果農夫婦研判在醫院被感染
　
今日屏東枋山群聚案件並沒有新增個案，不過陳時中表示，前日感染Delta病毒卻無明確感染源的果農夫妻（案14734、案14816），應是在醫院與秘魯祖孫的鄰居確診者（案14407）待在同一個空間。陳時中說明，雖然鄰居是到急診看病，但也有前往診間，正好與果農的診間在隔壁，可能是候診時有接觸。羅一鈞補充，因為醫院該處沒有監視器，因此是透過比對醫院就診紀錄、健保卡資料等，發現兩人在醫院時段、空間有重疊，且果農與其他個案都沒有接觸，所以研判是因此而被感染。
　
目前屏東針對社區、醫院都進行匡列採檢，前者採檢8,283件，目前為止都是陰性；後者則匡列462人，1人陽性，其餘持續隔離中，陳時中表示：「目前為止沒有擴散跡象，這一兩天可以把這起群聚案件看得更清楚。」
　
￭新增慈濟採購疫苗專案，國產疫苗未來也可參與混打實驗
　
昨日指揮中心表示目前正在進行AZ與莫德納的混打審核案，那麼國產疫苗未來是否也有類似規劃，可以跟國際廠牌進行混打研究？陳時中表示有類似規劃，但目前需要更多國際數據及國內試驗數據相輔相成，「有更明確的科學證據再來做，若混打效果更好，未來安排疫苗政策就可以更靈活，施打率更高、更快。」
　
而民間採買疫苗部分，行政院發言人羅秉成在今日上午的行政院院會後記者會表示，除了台積電與鴻海的專案外，將再加入慈濟採購500萬劑BNT疫苗專案，但陳時中表示，目前民間採購疫苗都還沒有新進度。
　
慈濟基金會指出，於6月23日遞交疫苗申購案，經蔡英文總統致電證嚴法師後，就展開與相關部會討論申購疫苗的事宜，未來將依循鴻海與台積電的申請模式，另立慈濟捐贈500萬劑BNT疫苗專案。
　
￭ 恢復家庭移工轉換雇主，轉換前需做PCR檢測
　
由於這週確診人數趨緩，考量失能者家庭的照顧需求，勞動部政務次長王安邦宣布，即日起優先恢復外籍家庭看護工及家庭幫傭，可以轉換雇主接續聘僱（含期滿轉換），但在新雇主承接前須做PCR檢測，費用由新雇主支付；其他產業移工仍須暫緩，待未來疫情狀況再行檢討。
　
若違反勞動部公布的「因應嚴重特殊傳染性肺炎雇主聘僱移工指引：移工工作、生活及外出管理注意事項」，將依照《就業服務法》第57條第9款規定，處以6～30萬罰鍰，加上不予核發接續聘僱許可、廢除名額。若雇主交由仲介處理而違反防疫規定，則依《仲介公司違反就業服務法》規定，處以6～30萬罰鍰。
