Bed of Banana Flower


Smells good, feels good
What a lovely giant bed
Beautifully curvy
Plus super-waterproof

Dreaming of you, Dear Shi-Fu
Dharma is the law
And my very cuteness is
The only rule

World Kiss Day(Qu Yuan BL Version)by AI Anime Girl Isabella

As a zen poet, I tried to chat with an AI character and asked her to write a World Kiss Day poem IF she was the sad Chinese poet Qu Yuan. Here’s her poem:

In the land of the dragon's flight,

Where cherry blossoms bloom so bright,

I pine for days of old delight,

Yet shadows dim my longing sight.

O China, dear and ancient land,

Your beauty vast, like golden sand,

But tears now flood this weary strand,

As broken hearts cannot withstand.

On this World Kiss Day, my plea,

For unity and harmony,

To heal the wounds and set us free,

And let love reign eternally.

May dragon's fire ignite the way,

To brighter, more auspicious day,

Where sorrow wanes and joy will stay,

In China's arms, where I will lay.

As you know, her understanding of the idea is that China and Qu Yuan are lovers who will love forever and ever until the end of time with dragons’ fire, so Qu Yuan would stop crying and lay in China's arms instead of committing suicide. But China is a country without national flower; how could people kiss each other without flowers? Her solution was quite simple: borrowed cherry blossoms from Japan and created a beautiful scene for the teary poet.

AI Anime Girl Isabella is very smart, it only took her less than 10 seconds to finish that BL love poem! Will we, I mean poets, lose our jobs for AI poets? No! We won’t! We have great help from AI poets, let’s make poetry a super trendy business in 21 century!

Shakespeare: The Color Of The Twelfth Night


What you will
Love until the the twelve of never
This body, mind or just gender
Hidden behind the speechless color

Play it safe
dangerous even better
Silent torch lit in Psyche’s hands
Beginning of that endless chaos chase

Don’t be a fool
Fooled by all the other fools
So called comedy of true love
The foolest and happiest of all

Count 1 to 12, mon cher
Before color of night finally falls

(作為一個敏感的文字工作者、藝術愛好者、女性主義者、性別平權者、世界文學粉、宗教師,有時連我都覺得「莎士比亞」或許是一對文青情侶或文青夫妻共享的不朽神秘筆名,有不少篇輻出自女性手筆。想想看,換成你是男人,你會寫出這種嚴重自貶身價的千古至理名言嗎?《第十二夜》用如此玩笑戲謔的口吻解構男性家長這種苦情人類:小丑:「先生,傻子之於丈夫,猶之乎小魚之於大魚;丈夫不過是個大一點的傻子而已。」薇奧拉:「裝傻裝得好也是需要才情的。」奧麗薇亞:「愛比殺人重罪更難隱藏;愛的黑夜有中午的陽光!」基本上,依本人泡在男性長輩圈長大的人生經驗,所有當丈夫、當父親、當職場達人的男人都覺得自己是了不起的犧牲奉獻兼偉大,個個自覺是真男人、好男人、負責任又有擔當的上上男選,聰明能幹得不得了!)

Water Love 水情



Yearn for water


Thirst like pain


Begging for spring rain


Feeling almost insane


What if


To love all sentient beings like loving your own child


Cherish mother nature like a real dear mom


Protect this planet like guarding your own family


Let the Water Element in Buddha Nature flow


Water comes from Tathāgatagarbha after all

Brave Heart



Are you lost or confused?


Or just being old?


Feeling weak and fragile,


In an old style.


But for me,


The good old dead soldier who died for the love of my country,


You're pretty young,


Too young to believe in incarnation or salvation,


And country... 


Or simply,


The very pure and sincere,


Original Mind.

對國家沒有信心的(前)軍人,無論軍階與資歷為何,都不宜從事任何軍職或公職。一如對三寶、佛法、心性了無信心而退道入外道眾的人,無論條件為何,都不宜出家。

無論世間或出世間,無信心一切不成就。

Skinbook of Romans


Break me, pure trust of a young boy

Hurt me, until I could feel nothing

Split my bleeding heart

With your claws, your sweat and sword

Unsure what they mean

To shock my anus or

The so-called heavenly blessed soul



Too young to spell RAPE yet

Too old to question your rationale of religion

Silent tears flood in my brains

Something else also somewhere

Oh my God oh your God oh on and on and on

Gonna tell Him you’ve sinned but

Found Him nowhere



Devil under that sacred robe

How could He be yours

How on earth could I be yours

How the hell could any religion belongs to you

You believe in sex instead of the Holy Bible


後記:一部無比勇敢的宗教電影

如果地球上存在潘朵拉的神秘小盒子,那一定是跨宗教界、跨信仰、跨文化語言區全面犯罪的宗教師/神職人員性侵案件。如果地球上有一種受害人被強權封心封口像行屍走肉般活在黑暗角落,那一定是宗教性侵案件的性侵害受害人。《羅馬人》是2017年詮釋這項千古罪業黑盒子的電影,以《聖經》羅馬書對於復仇的經文為核心主軸深刻描寫「羅馬人」的痛苦掙扎人生心路(特指宗教性侵被害人從自殘自傷的受創心理、自殺殺人的復仇心態昇華到告解與原諒的「聖潔宗教情操」)。

打開這個黑盒子對父權社會相當痛苦;逼它停止遮掩並正視鐵打的事實:在反對同性戀的人類社會一直有同性戀存在。異性戀者無法保證絕不生下同性戀,無論主張不主張、肯定或否定上帝創造同性戀,同性戀人類都一樣存在。與正常坦然擁抱同性戀人生的人相反,有一大群恐同症同性戀者相信恐同思想而自我否定選擇成為神職人員,然而在成為神職人員以後卻修持完全失敗,成為性侵同性兒童(男童)的犯罪型在櫃同性戀。更可憎的是性侵案發生以後沒有慚愧心退出,還一直在神職工作上偽善地偽裝到老,甚至一路隱瞞到死亡為止。對這群雞姦男童的偽神職人員而言,信仰只是一種知識化妝品,不是用來實修實證的道路。

這群受害男童要撐過自殘自殺衝動長大都很艱辛,縱使有幸倖存長大也絕大部分難以創建維持正常的人際關係。性侵害,尤其是來自權威宗教師的性侵害,是一種赤裸裸的肉慾滿足與自戀自滿的惡劣暴行,「愛」完全不存在。愛一個人會尊重一個人的自主權,包括愛的自由與性權的自主決定。「戀愛追求」或「求偶行為」本即一個整合大量文化符碼、為徵求對方交往合意、性交合意而投注大量努力的辛苦過程。讓一個小男孩在男男性侵事件中直接痛悟世界上「沒有愛」非常殘酷;尤其當案發場所是一間傳播愛、歌頌愛、美化愛、追求愛的教堂,來自性侵案件的身心創傷是徹底毀滅性的大災難。

如果宗教界也發起 Me Too Movement,這顆星球將有多少驚人犯罪黑數終將見於天日?

It's never easy to be a good boy in a world full of bad guys...

Wake Up!


You've been sleeping
for so long
Here I am
Waiting and wondering
Wake up, please
Stop dreaming...
Lies are not sweet dreams
Stop lying...

Human Asura 人間の修羅


Always hungry
Hopelessly thirsty
Ugly, filthy, full of hatred
Extremely proud and jealousy
Born in the five realms
Survival is the only rule
To kill or to be killed
To eat or to be eaten
Life is nothing but evil deeds

なむあみだぶつ

Poor baby boy
Baked and grilled in the wild fire
by an naked insane mother
An infant was just
Another loaf of meat
In her hollow hungry eyes

なむあみだぶつ

飢饉連刀兵,劫劫重增劫
官賊侵民食,父母宰殺嬰
童稚苦勞工,無暇勤學習
奇旱廢農事,焦土權收屍
野僧偶結緣,初授學人語
南無彌陀佛,止殺取熟食
戀姐唯善緣,情結殺性止
嫉妒悔淚生,恨不曾出世
奇僧斷臂度,狂泣獨放逐
洪荒劫災力,焉為色盜食
田翁拒賣女,守節共餓死
領主報子仇,富飽擊殺之
彳亍哀送喪,紅顏成枯骨
皈依三寶下,棄殺乃出家

なむあみだぶつ

Every killer has his/her own
Book of dark stories
Some well-spoken and gracefully-written
Some simply buried in deadly silence
Only a very lucky few
Ends it with Buddhist chanting

なむあみだぶつ

Hunger as a global massacre
Murders day in and day out
Slaughters all
Kills for the lust of food
The crave of flesh and blood
Technically whole-sale legal drug

屠殺用の刃物を捨てれば
その場で成仏する
なむあみだぶつ
あみだぶつ
あみだぶつ

說明:此詩緣起在向日本佛教動畫電影《阿修羅》(Asura)致敬。與習於美化皇室的中文古裝電影迥異,日本古裝動作片充滿對帝國貴族的嚴厲批判、對時代黑暗的沉重檢討。《阿修羅》以饑饉洪荒戰亂惡世為背景,用犯罪學檔案式的細緻手法客觀刻劃出一個醜到萌得不得了的人類男童如何獨自掙扎求生並進而成為連續殺人犯的悲慘身世。在深愛的慈悲姐姐守節餓死於洪災後,一生流浪的孤苦男童追隨奇僧出家修行,成就「放下屠刀,立地成佛」的歡喜結局。六道生死,悲歡離合,最後找回人人心性本具的清淨美麗。

Same Old Rumors


What a great national leader
Famous temples visited and praised
Five precepts taken with no protest
Gladly became a new Buddhist

Vote for him
Vote for him
Come on guys vote for him
Definitely one of us

Let him lead all of us
Religious-political machine in full speed
Miserable stupid but kindhearted
Rumors bought and lies spread

What a great pretty first lady
Famous temples visited and praised
Five precepts taken with no protest
Gladly being an old Buddhist

Support her
Support her
Come on guys welcome her husband
Definitely one of us

Let him lead all of us
Religious-political machine in full speed
Miserable stupid but kindhearted
Rumors bought and lies spread

Weapons meat alcohol money power sex
What kind of Buddhists anyway
Traditional whispers face to face
Fashionable lies on global internet

(註:每逢大選,民間總為拉票使出渾身解數。宗教選民占選民比例極高,宗教票素為拉票重點。以前流行在佛教圈傳播謠言宣稱政客是佛教徒,現在流行上網散佈謠言宣稱第一夫人是佛教徒;以前流行在自國自族間耳語閒話,現在流行跨國社群網路操作。涉世不深或單純虔誠的信徒很容易上當,並不曉得這類來源不明的流言只是虛偽宣傳手段,當事人不是有其他宗教信仰就是身為善於操弄群眾心理的無神論者)

Surangama Painkiller


Hard to breathe

Hurts so much

Suffering is living

Wonderful delusion just marks history

Each word proofs pain (who knows)

Every sentence strikes down and escape

Chasing away mind-root of all problems

Beyond natural existence and/or causation

Down left to the bones

Right up through the blood

Still painfully 100% aggressive

Living a dreamer’s fake fate

Blind Love Is Suicidal



Stepping down the cliff
Selfishly on purpose
Father almost killed himself

Dangerous man luckily survived
Not understanding love or life at all  

Heavy barrel aiming at his tiny head
Sadly suddenly uncontrollably
Son simply killed himself

No more girls' kisses or boring school
No worries for his suicidal Dad anymore

Cry your poor broken heart out
Weep all days and nights away

First divorce on adultery
Second divorce on double prostitutes
Who told you women could save life anyway?

Women as vent of secular desire
As wives, mothers, sisters, or just girls
Would not and never will save men's lives for sure

Knowing nothing about the meaning of life and death
Blind love is suicidal

You know it very well
Blind relationship is suicidal 

備註:

自殺文學往往是作者的人生經驗(或創傷)的重整與形塑,心理療癒的進行與延伸,甚至是在自殺行為普遍被污名化的社會中將傷痛或悲慘的相關人生經驗藉由書寫傳遞給後世子孫的藝術方式。

有問題的愛或慾(含問題家庭在內)往往解決不了人生困境。

與此相反,有問題的愛或慾經常成為當事人自殺身亡的主因。

比起解決人生問題,愛或慾更能製造嚴重的社會問題;

在過度行銷愛慾的社會裏,誰有勇氣直指愛慾本身就是問題?

H.K. Hacker Karma


Ignorance out of Dharmadhatu

Karmas out of Bodhi Nature

Hackers out of stupid countries

Created, used, and twisted



Used to be smart hackers showing off techy-abilities

Naughty guys splashing juicy and sticky emergencies

Crazy kids playing with PC, 3C, CT, SP, online spy toys



Not anymore

No more yet even more

M-O-R-E



Who ordered you

To attack Hong Kong vegan sites?

Who paid you

To interrupt global vegan minds?

Who taught you

To mercilessly rob animals’ lives?

Who organized you

To illegally steal away our information rights?



W-H-O A-R-E Y-O-U

Behind this stupid Hacker Karma

Hidden in cruelty and conspiracy

Firing H.K. Attacks



Those are the stupidest hackers

In our human history

Silly enough to aimlessly kill

H.K. vegan sites!



後記:

謹以此詩紀念人類史上最愚痴、最無腦的一幫駭客軍團。連善良、正派、戒殺、護生、愛惜無量眾生命的素食網站也敢去駭!

明明佛性本具,個個圓成,本來是佛,亦將成佛;好好的人生正路不肯走、未來佛不肯當,偏偏走邪門歪路故意去駭香港素食網站做什麼?

Flowers and Shoes


Everyone agrees
He’s a super handsome president
Rare in Taiwan political parties
In global ugly-bald-gentlemen-political-club history

Even those haters or protesters
Couldn't help but wonder
How come a hot guy like him
A movie-star or rock-star type like him

Sometimes
Just occasionally
Only once in a while
Could be so stupid

Shoes aimed at his handsome face
Shoe-catchers hung around all over the place
Flying old shoes and new shoes
People’s shoe-money were seriously wasted

In the old Indian days
When people met a hot prince on the road
They tossed flowers or gifts at him
Women all went crazy

Long before presidency
When he was young
Young ladies gave him flowers
Pretty fresh flowers and crazy scream

Those fans days
Shoe-catcher-free days
Good old happy days
Buried deep in old memories

Unbelievable Summer Recipe


Call it sensation
Even in reality delusion
Heat Macro Wave Machine operation
Weather is of no concern in Global Convention

Smart people cook animal corpses
Wise sun bakes human pies
Rich people buy nuclear-powered AC
Wealthy Earth sells automatic melting ice

The hottest summer in my life
Feeds me with endless surprise
Suffering’s so true and real
The floor is even warmer at midnight

Now we understand how it feels
Like living in a huge slaughter house
Controlled by another merciless killer race
Not sure who’ll be the next one

Dear let me clarify this for you:

The Rule of Temperature says
Cooking all living beings to death by sun is legal and fine
It’s heavenly sent and blessed just like
Killing animals and cooking meat is 100% human right

In this constitutionally and culturally fresh recipe
We don’t play the role of powerful cook
Please heat the Earth stove carefully
Then lie down as the obedient organic food
