轩辕剑叁的感慨
“只要有邪念,任何的真理都可以被曲解”,想不到,这句话会在游戏里出现。
这句话是在封印了撒旦之后的结局篇中,那位邪恶的教士“恐惧之王”所说的。他的目的,就是要扭曲世上所有的真理。这句话有他来说,正适合不过。其道理,十分深刻。我认为,看不懂的人有很多。。。误解这句话的人也会有很多。
《轩辕剑叁之云和山的彼端》提倡了“宗教和谐”的道理,内涵旋绕在当今以被曲解的宗教教义。另外一点就是“王道”,主角所一直寻找的“东方战无不胜的方法”,其实,王道,就是王者之道,来自“孟子”。王道既是“仁慈”与“次序”。很多的剧情让我感到赞叹,一时说不完,一说就要长篇大论。
我从13岁就开始玩轩辕剑,从轩辕剑外传之枫之舞,到现在,已经20岁咯!它吸引我的地方就是其中身后的文学内涵。每一集都少不了诗赋,和一些历史知识,统合了中国传统的文化及神话内涵。由始至终,每一集都让我学习到许多很有意义的道理。有人情、有道义、有真挚的友情,还有世间的种种道理。令很多人喜欢,包括我的,是它独特的2D山水画背景。当时在2003年出的《肆之黑龙起兮云飞扬》变成了3D,很多玩家一时还接受不来。
但这次,除了以往的中国故事背景,它结合了欧洲和中东的元素,和那个时代的历史事迹,如在欧洲的“十字军东征”,大食与唐朝的战争,还有唐朝的“安史之乱”,还有宗教特质。主角也非华人,而是华人混血。混谁的血我不清楚。但可以肯定,他是上一位轩辕剑持有者的后代。
《云和山的彼端》中,阻止教士建造由人骨而成的“反曼陀罗阵”后,慧荣大师有一句诗是这样:
“生死别人间,骨肉散尘烟。
比丘拜土石,无缘悟梵天。”
慧荣大师接着说:
“生命不止限于皮肉上存在。使用完的肉体归为尘土,人归天上;尘土被用来塑造佛像又如何呢?”
故事把伊斯兰教、基督教不崇拜偶像的教诲和大师所说的道理,现示其中的共同点。
有一段对白,没有读古诗的人是很难理解的。王思月对主角说了一句,以表达爱意:
“青青子衿,悠悠我心。纵我不往,子宁不嗣音”
翻译:
青青的是你衣襟 悠悠的是我芳心
纵使我不去看你 你难道就不回音
王思月本意是要主角表达情意,结果主角弄错了,误以为是曹操的短歌行:
“青青子衿,悠悠我心。但为君故,沈吟至今。”
短歌行中,青青子衿,指的是士子,因为汉代太学生(相当于今日国立大学生)是穿青色的衣裳。这一段的意思是:穿着青衣的士人呀,是我心所仰慕的,因为你们的原故,我思考该如何招揽你们。
但说回来。。。现在已经出到轩辕剑五外传了。。。我还在三啊。不说,别人还以为我要花8年玩轩辕剑《壹》、《贰》、《外传枫之舞》、《叁》和《外传天之痕》。其实在我16岁那年就没完了。直到最近才开始,从去年的《天之痕》开始,花了三天,直到前三天在玩《叁》。
除了轩辕剑,也只有仙剑奇侠传98版和金庸群侠传。但还是轩辕剑为吾最爱。= )

你对自己的民族了解多少?
另外一择汉服报道。。。
很可惜,有些人不屑自己是汉人,或华人,对于自己的语言和文化的愚昧无知不以为然。希望会有更多的人,不只为物质而活,也为精神而活吧。我赞叹先辈们的智慧,所以也不希望这些智慧与精神在我们的手上消失。那份感恩,尊敬及懂得思念、传承先辈的智慧,是一个族群,一个国家兴衰的因素之一。
佛在大涅盘经曰:“阿难,当越祗人凡有所作为皆依照越祗古昔所传制度,仍是未兴者不兴,已兴者不废,则彼等是只会兴盛,不会衰微。”

Going whose way?
When things doesn't go along the way we want it to be, commonly the very first reaction is negativity. But what comes after the negativity?
A reflection of the previous negativity?
An abandonment of the previous negativity?
An arising of positivity?
Or a continuation of the negativity?
The kathina day in Santi was a fruitful one for mei xuan and myself. I'm not sure of the rest. I was very inspired and encouraged when she spoke to me about it in a sense of seriousness and sincerity which I normally doesn't see. We both shared a common knowledge that day and a common fault: We extend our concern to others till we forget to practise it ourselves.
I'll keep the words of Ajhan in mind always, to practise ourselves first, watching over our own defilements. It seems selfish, but it is not. I shouldn't be worrying about that. The Buddha had said before:
When watching after oneself, one watches after others.
When watching after others, one watches after oneself.
... ...Through pursuing [the practice], through developing it, through devoting oneself to it.
This is how one, when watching after oneself, watches after others.
... ...Through endurance, through harmlessness, and through a mind of kindness & sympathy.
This is how one, when watching after others, watches after oneself.
I vow, here and now, to uphold this teaching strictly.
It is amazing, the cooling effect each time I recall the Dhamma, as compared to the agitation when I recall about worldly concerns such as, "Why didn't he do well", "Why can't he understand", which actually doesn't bring any fruit, although it was out of concern.
It makes my mind more dull, more corrupted, more deluded, whereas when the teachings arises, it makes my mind calm to the extend I can see it now, which I don't, just sometime ago, when I was at my first sentence.
When I'm mindful of what I wanted to say, and measure it's benefits, many are ought to be ommited. When the condition doesn't ripe, there is nothing you can do about it.
How does the condition ripes? From constantly practising Dana, Sila and Bhavana.
No attainment can arise without merit, including Buddhahood. (From Nidhi Khanda Sutta)
Now I see the way. I just need to encourage people to practise Dana, Sila and Bhavana with myself, with the Sangha, when they doesn't understand the Doctrinal side of the Dhamma. It all starts from Dana, Sila and Bhavana, and the first explaination made should be it.
