9-1 下蠱 Implanting Carrion Beetles

太陽石歷內環所示的第九劫是個骷髏頭,代表死亡,講述阿茲特蘭(又名金童,特拉洛克)的心被翠玉女偷走了(如圖3和4所示,即被嚴重創傷了)。被女神創傷了,若不治療,創傷會越來越嚴重,直至死亡,所以阿茲特蘭從此就走向地獄了。但是墨西哥的傳說說,他是被青松石王派去地獄取回人骨的。

The ninth Catastrophe, depicted in the inner ring of the Sunstone calendar, is a skull, representing death. It tells the story of Aztlan’s heart being stolen by Chalchiuhtlicue (as shown in Figure 3 and 4, indicating a severe trauma). Traumatized by the goddess, if left untreated, the trauma would grow worse and worse until death, and so Aztlan was doomed to hell from that day forward. However, Mexican legend says he was sent to Hell by King Turquoise to retrieve human bones.

去地獄(即患了精神病)很危險,青松石王怎麼知道阿茲特蘭到地獄後,能活着回來?如果他死了,這全部的工作就全白費了。阿茲特蘭有四禪天的經歷,所以他才有前文辟支佛的成就;據說這種人即便不幸地墮入了地獄,也可以憑藉自己的力量悟出 “精神病治療原則(參考9.6 治療心病的公理),從地獄裡爬上來。”

Going to hell (i.e., suffering from mental illness) is dangerous. How could King Turquoise know that Aztlan would return alive after going to hell? If he died, all the work would be in vain. Aztlan had experienced the fourth meditation sky, which is why he achieved the Pratyekabuddha (i.e., Exploring-branch Buddha) status mentioned earlier; it is said that even if such a person unfortunately falls into hell, he can still rely on his own power to realize the "principles of curing mental illness (see 9.6 Axioms of Curing Mental Illness)" and climb out of hell.

這種做法會使阿茲特蘭患上胃腸潰瘍,古墨西哥人認為胃腸潰瘍是蠱蟲(如圖9-1右下角)在作怪,就稱呼這種做法為下蠱。下蠱的做法在歐洲被稱為上帝造人,中國東北被稱為琢磨人,東南亞被稱為下降頭。本書中這種做法的案例:7.3 相親;15.5.4.5 自由戀愛;15.5.9.5.2 阪泉之戰

This juristic-making (practice) caused Aztlan to develop gastrointestinal ulcers. Ancient Mexicans believed these ulcers were caused by Carrion Beetles (as shown in the lower right corner of Figure 9-1), hence the name "Implanting Carrion Beetles." In Europe, this practice is called "God creating man," in Northeast China it's called "polishing man," and in Southeast Asia it's called "descending head." Examples of this “making-law” (practice) in this book include: 7.3 Blind Date; 15.5.4.5 Naturally Falling in Love; 15.5.9.5.2 Battle of Ban Fountain

9-2 單身漢聚會 Bachelor's Party

一天,阿茲特蘭聽說龍圖閣將舉辦一次單身漢聚會,幫助單身的學生們找女朋友,解決婚姻問題。隨後他遇見藏寶閣的老闆在找他,老闆問:“你準備去參加聚會嗎?那聚會的飯菜是御膳房做的。”

阿茲特蘭奇怪地問:“今天您怎麼這麼高興?跟我說這個!”

One day, Aztlan heard that Dragon Plan House was going to hold a bachelor party to help single students find girlfriends and solve their marriage problems. Later, he ran into the boss of the museum, who asked, "Are you going to the party? The food is prepared by the royal kitchen." 

Aztlan asked curiously, "Why are you in such a good mood today? And you are telling me this!"

老闆回答:“你們龍圖閣的九叔親自對我說的:龍圖閣舉辦單身漢聚會是為了給公主找男朋友。如果咱們藏寶閣的單身漢缺席,他將向國王報告說我不關心員工的生活!”

阿茲特蘭驚訝地說:“啊!這是重大的政治事件!我去參加,會最後離開聚會。如果餐桌上有剩餘的食品,我會給你帶回來!是哪位公主?翠玉女嗎?自從我到了首都,總能聽到關於她的新聞!”

The boss replied, "Your Ninth Uncle from the Dragon Plan House told me personally: Dragon Plan House is holding this bachelor party to find a boyfriend for the princess. If any of our Museum's bachelors are absent, he will report to King that I don't care about my employees' livelihoods!"

Aztlan exclaimed in surprise, “Ah! This is a major political event! I will attend and be the last to leave the party. If there is any leftover food on the table, I will bring it back for you! Which princess is it? Chalchiuhtlicue? Ever since I arrived in the capital, I have been hearing news about her!”

老闆回答:“是翠玉女!她找男朋友的事已經鬧了這些年了,就是不成婚姻。這到現在,她找男朋友的範圍已經擴大到普通人了!”

插圖2顯示青松石王正在主持奧林運動會,淘汰不合格的金童候選人。

圖3顯示了翠玉女的宿命任務,她要在和金童相親過程中,偷走(創傷)對方的心。

The boss replied, "It's Chalchiuhtlicue! They've been making a fuss about finding her boyfriend for years, but she just can't get married."

Illustration 2 shows King Turquoise presiding over the Ollin Movement, eliminating unqualified candidates for the Golden Boy.

Figure 3 depicts Chalchiuhtlicue's destined mission: to steal (or wound) the heart of the Golden Boy during their blind date.

圖4顯示,青松石王和寇特鷚鵂想盡一切辦法幫翠玉女吃掉(創傷)對方的心。

圖6表示玉女苦尤姬(Coyolxauhqui)給青松石王出謀劃策,積極向他獻殷勤,卻想着背刺青松石王。圖7顯示苦尤姬偷走了被淘汰的金童的名單。

Figure 4 shows that King Turquoise and Coatlicue are doing everything in their power to help Chalchiuhtlicue devour (traumatize) the other’s heart.

Figure 6 depicts Coyolxauhqui advising King Turquoise, actively courting his favor while plotting to betray him. Figure 7 shows Coyolxauhqui stealing the list of the rejected Golden Boys.

9-3 阿茲特蘭約會翠玉女 Aztlan Dates with Chalchiuhtlicue

圖1記錄了阿茲特蘭和翠玉女相親過程中辯論的焦點。圖左面的人穿着獅子皮,表示他是阿茲特蘭(又名金童,特拉洛克)。他的下面畫出了他的出發點是偷取青松石王和寇特鷚鵂的靈丹。很顯然在他和翠玉女的談話中,他偷到了很多靈丹。

Figure 1 depicts the focus of the debate during Aztlan and Chalchiuhtlicue's courtship. The man on the left, dressed in a lion's skin, is Aztlan (also known as the Golden Boy or Tlaloc). Below him is drawn his motive: to steal Spiritual-catholicans (elixirs) of King Turquoise and Coatlicue. Clearly, during his conversation with Chalchiuhtlicue, he stole many of the elixirs.

圖1右側的女人是翠玉女。她的後面的臉是黑色的,表示她懷有黑暗的目的,要挖出阿茲特蘭的心。她的下面畫出了她的出發點。給阿茲特蘭下蠱,送他去地獄。當阿茲特蘭從地獄回來後,她主編墨西哥法典。

The woman on the right in Figure 1 is Chalchiuhtlicue. The black color of her face behind her signifies her dark motives: to rip out Aztlan's heart. Below her is drawn her starting point: to implant Carrion Beetles into Aztlan and send him to hell. When Aztlan returns from hell, she compiles the Mexican Codex.

圖1的中上部是二人的主話題:等起智。注,集諦是邪惡真如,但當覺悟後,它就變成了神佛的智慧,等起智。那隻上帝之眼偏向了阿茲特蘭,表示他在辯論中占了上風。翠玉女就發現創傷他的機會了,說話陰腔怪氣地諷刺阿茲特蘭:“你問我問題,結果你理解得比我好,你這是整我!?咱倆第一次見面,你整我幹什麼?” 

The upper middle part of Figure 1 depicts the main topic of their discussion: Equality-Arousal Intelligence. Note that Aggregate Arousal (see chapter 13) is the evil true suchness, but upon enlightenment, it transforms into the intelligence of gods and Buddhas, Equality-Arousal-Intelligence. The Eye of God is biased towards Aztlan, indicating that he has the upper hand in the debate. Chalchiuhtlicue sees an opportunity to wound him, speaking sarcastically to Aztlan: "You asked me a question, and you understand it better than I do. Are you messing with me?! We've only just met, why are you messing with me?"

阿茲特蘭冒犯女神了,遭殃了。幸福快樂的玉女是福;悲傷哭泣的玉女是殃。

圖1中翠玉女抓住了兔子,表明她心裡在想:“小兔崽子(即阿茲特蘭),我終於抓住你了!” 她就以此為藉口,和阿茲特蘭打起來了。

阿茲特蘭和女神打架,就是違反了自然法,就去地獄了。

Aztlan offended the goddess and encountered a Misfortune. A happy and joyful Jade Girl is a Fortune; a sorrowful and weeping Jade Girl is a Misfortune.

In Figure 1, Chalchiuhtlicue catches a rabbit, indicating that she is thinking, "You little rascal (Aztlan), I've finally caught you!" She uses this as an excuse to fight with Aztlan. 

Aztlan's fight with the goddess violates the laws of nature, and thus he goes to Hell.

當然,這時這倆人都已經是成年人了,不會在第一次約會中就真的爭吵起來;但總體來說這次約會的氣氛很不友好。就這樣,在第一次約會中,阿茲特蘭就冒犯了女神,他的一隻腳受傷了,需要輪子(如圖1)。腳受傷表示阿茲特蘭的喜根受傷了。喜是四無量心(慈悲喜舍)之一,是一隻神足。

Of course, by this time both were adults and wouldn't actually argue on their first date; but overall, the atmosphere was quite unfriendly. Thus, on their first date, Aztlan offended the goddess, injuring one of his feet and needing a wheel (as shown in Figure 1). The injured foot signifies that Aztlan's *delight* root was injured. *Delight* is one of the four infinite hearts (Mercy, Sorrow, Delight, Renunciation) and is a God-Foot.

9-4 女神的外貌是無記性的 Goddess's Appearance is Menmoryless

隨後,媒人來問阿茲特蘭和公主約會的感覺怎麼樣。

讀者當知,阿茲特蘭因為幼年的創傷,是個愚鈍的人,愣仔。這種人從小到大,學什麼都慢。他只是在心理學,哲學和科學研究方面有長處。他在和翠玉女的約會當中,表現得很幼稚。這些事阿茲特蘭自己都知道。阿茲特蘭想了想後,反問:“什麼感覺?”

Later, the matchmaker came to ask Aztlan how he felt about his date with the princess.

Readers should know that Aztlan, due to childhood trauma, is dull, dumb. From childhood on, such people are slow to learn anything. He excelled only in psychology, philosophy, and scientific research. His behavior during his date with Chalchiuhtlicue was childish. Aztlan was aware of all this. After a moment's reflection, he asked, "What did it feel?"

媒人回答:“第一次見面,你感覺她的模樣怎麼樣?辦事有沒有策略,說話有沒有邏輯什麼的。”

阿茲特蘭回答:“她看問題有門道,說話出口成章。她長得怎麼樣?我沒看見,沒感覺!”

媒人回答:“哎呀!你第一次去約會,怎麼能不看人家呢?”

The matchmaker replied, "When you first met her, what did you think of her appearance? Did she have a strategy? Did she speak logically? What about her?"

Aztlan replied, "She has a way of seeing things and speaks eloquently. What did she look like? I haven't seen her, so I have no feeling!"

The matchmaker replied, "Oh, how could you not look at her on your first date?"

注,女神的外貌是無記性的。當你面對女神,你看見對方了,面容親切;可是,離開她後,就回憶不出她的容貌,所以沒感覺(如圖5所示)。

阿茲特蘭繼續認真地想了想後,回答:“我不記得了,什麼感覺也沒有!”

Note: Goddess’ appearance is unmemorable. When you face the goddess, you see her, and her face is familiar. However, after you leave her, you cannot recall her appearance, therefore have no feelings (as shown in Figure 5).

Aztlan thought about it carefully and replied, "I don't remember. I don't feel anything!"

9-5 阿茲特蘭病了 Aztlan is sick

隨後,阿茲特蘭又和翠玉女見了兩次,他偷到了很多靈丹。翠玉女每次辯論輸了就會生氣(注,變成殃),就這樣她達成了對阿茲特蘭下蠱的任務。

阿茲特蘭每次想起翠玉女就感覺全身難受,覺得翠玉女對未來丈夫的期望很高,自己沒能力滿足她的願望,這段戀情成功的概率很低,就決定放棄了。

Aztlan then met with Chalchiuhtlicue twice more, during which time he stole many elixirs. Every time Chalchiuhtlicue lost a debate, she would get angry (note, she would become a MISFORTUNE), and that's how she accomplished her mission of Implanting Carrion Beetles into Aztlan.

Aztlan felt uneasy every time he thought of Chalchiuhtlicue, believing she had high expectations of her future husband and that he was incapable of fulfilling her wishes. He felt the chances of their relationship succeeding were slim and decided to give up.
