(3/4 桃花劫 Peach Flower Catastrophe)
他们俩回到大堂时,人们都在等他们呢!桃花女问常公:“你看由谁来宣读遗嘱?”
祝管家自告奋勇地说:“如果大伙儿都信任我,我愿意代表刘公发布遗嘱。” 人们都认为祝管家确实是代表刘老东家的合适人选,就由他来宣读遗嘱。
When the two of them returned to the hall,
people were waiting for them! Peach Flower Girl asked Constant Fair, "Who
do you think will read the will?"
Butler Zhu volunteered, “If the people trust
me, I am willing to issue the will on behalf of Publican Liu." The people
all agreed that the old butler was indeed the right person to represent the old
proprietor Liu, so he read out the will.
根据遗嘱,刘老东家的全部财产都由常公继承;桃花女和常公在刘老东家的墓前举办裸体婚礼。当祝管家把遗嘱交给族里人进行核对时,人们发现遗嘱上写的和祝管家读的不一样,问祝管家是怎么回事?
According to the will, all the property of
Publican Liu is inherited by Constant Fair, and Peach Flower Girl and Constant
Fair hold a nude wedding in front of Publican Liu's grave. When Butler Zhu
handed over the will to the clan for checking, people find that what is written
in the will is different from what Butler Zhu read, so they asked the old
butler, “what is going on?”
桃花女听得清楚,看得明白:祝管家并没有按自己写的读,他是背诵了刘老东家的遗嘱。羞愧难当;一切都和爸爸说的一样,自己身边连一个值得信任的人都没有。“你活着有什么意思!还不如死了呢!” 桃花女想着父亲说的话,真的就拔出了那支金刚降魔杵,要自杀。
Peach Flower Girl heard and saw clearly: butler
did not read it as she had written it; he had recited the will of Publican Liu.
Shame on her; everything was just as Papa had said, and she didn't even have
one trustworthy person by her side. "What's the point of you living! It's
better to die!" Thinking about what her father had said, the Peach Flower
Girl literally pulled out the Philosopher-Stone Pestle, wanted to kill herself.
常公早有防备,一把就把匕首夺了过去。桃花女一愣,怒从心头起。正在这时,人们听“噗通”一声!原来是祝管家一边跪下,一边放声嚎叫:“老东家!我对不起你呀!大小姐!我对不起你呀!”
大伙一看,急忙问是怎么回事?祝管家爬到桃花女面前,抱住她的腿,一边哭一边说:“大小姐呀!都是老奴对不住你!”
桃花女惊奇地问:“祝管家!你这是干什么!有话站起来,慢慢说。”
Constant Fair was prepared and snatched the
dagger with one hand. Peach Flower Girl was stunned, and her anger rose from
her heart. At this moment, people heard a "plop" sound! It turned out
to be Butler Zhu kneeling while howling loudly: "Old master! I'm sorry!
Lady! I'm sorry!"
People were shocked and hurriedly asked what
was going on. The old butler crawled to Peach Flower Girl and hugged her legs,
crying as he said, "My lady! It's all because of me, the old family slave
that I'm all faults!"
Peach Flower Girl asked in surprise, "Old
Uncle! What are you doing! Stand up if you have something to say and speak
slowly."
祝管家说:“你不原谅我,答应我你不自杀了,我就跪死在这儿。大小姐死了,我也不想活了!可是我又不能死,我没脸去见老东家!”
人们劝桃花女,你快说呀!祝管家这么大岁数了,这样跪着,成何体统!俩人僵持了一会儿。桃花女过了气头,还有了个台阶,答应原谅祝管家,不自杀了。
Butler Zhu said, “If you don't forgive me and
promise me you won't kill yourself anymore, I'll die here on my knees. If Missy
is dead, I don't want to live anymore! But I can't die, I don't have the face
to see the old master!”
People advised Peach Flower Girl, “Speak up!
Butler Zhu is so old, it's not decent for him to kneel like this!” The two of
them were at a standstill for a while. Peach Flower Girl was over it and had a
step to take. She promised to forgive Butler Zhu and not to kill herself.
人们问祝管家:“到底是咋回事儿?你不说也没人明白呀!”
祝管家说:“我怕大小姐看了真遗嘱,自杀,我就写了份假遗嘱,把真遗嘱交给大掌柜的们保管了。”
大伙儿就问大掌柜的们:“真遗嘱在哪呢?快拿出来吧!”
People asked Butler Zhu, "What on earth is
going on? No one understands if you don't tell them!"
Butler Zhu said, “I was afraid that Missy would
read the real will and commit suicide, so I wrote a fake will and gave the real
one to those shop managers for safekeeping.”
People then asked those shop managers, “Where's
the real will? Take it out quickly!”
2.6-2
族人核对遗嘱,确认那是刘老东家的手迹。常公提议:“把这份假遗嘱烧了吧,别让祝管家为难了。”
掌柜的们问桃花女:“大当家的!这事该咋办?”
The clan checked the will and confirmed that it
was Publican Liu's handwriting. Constant Fair suggested, “Burn this fake will,
don't make things difficult for Butler Zhu.”
Those shop managers asked Peach Flower Girl,
“Big Boss! What should we do about this?”
桃花女多聪明啊!一看一听,全明白了,说:“那就全权交给掌柜的们看着办吧!” 她站起来,回后院儿了。
掌柜的们一商量,这事儿性命攸关!该来的都已经在这里了,立刻举行婚礼!
How smart Peach Flower Girl is! After looked
and listened, she understood everything and said, “Then leave it all to you
managers!" She stood up and went back to the backyard.
Those shop mangers discussed, this is a matter
of life and death! Everyone who should be here is already here. The wedding
should take place immediately!
That day, everyone went up the mountain.
Constant fair and Peach Flower Girl publicly married naked before the grave (as
shown in Figure 2.6-38). When they bowed before the wordless tombstone of Liu
Publican, people saw turquoise smoke billowing upward from his grave (as in
Illustration 35). The crowd cheered jubilantly: Auspicious! Auspicious!
Auspicious! What is auspiciousness? Auspiciousness is another name for God (as
in Figure 36) and Nirvana (as in Figure 2).
那火是什么?把那俩人烧成那样了(如图37至40)!火是他们俩各自三岁之前的记忆,中华文化中称作福,大力神。福在佛教中称作儒童(梵语摩纳婆)和人身果(即神身天,如图8所示),印度教中作婆罗门,基督教、伊斯兰教、和古埃及文化中称作亚伯,日耳曼文化中作马格尼,墨西哥文化称为灵龙。
What was that fire? It burned those two like that (as shown in Figures 37 to 40)! The fire was their memories from before the age of three—known in Chinese culture as “Fortune” and “Big Strength God”. The Fortunate is known as “Genius Kid (Manava) and "human body fruit" (i.e. "godly body sky", see figure 8) in Buddhism, Brahman in Hinduism, Abel in Christianity Islam and Ancient Egyptian culture, Magni in Germanic culture, and Quetzalcoatl in Mexican culture.
福的力量强大,尘世间无有能敌,是他们俩之间斩不断的联系,所以古人说他们俩熔合了(如图40)。图37是说这俩人重生成为了一对儿桃花佛,成为了大真人(相当于佛教中的十地菩萨)。而且桃花女以常公的自传为主体框架,创作了现代15亿中国人人人皆知的桃花节故事。
The power of Fortune is formidable, unmatched
in this mortal world. It is the unbreakable bond between them, hence the
ancients said they were fused together (as shown in Figure 40). Figure 37
depicts these two individuals reborn as a pair of Peach Flower Buddhas, became
two Great Real Humans (equivalent to the Tenth Land Bodhisattvas in Buddhism).
Moreover, Peach Flower Girl, using Constant Fair's autobiography as the main
framework, created the Peach Flower Catastrophe story, now known to every one
of 1.5 billion Chinese people.
2.6-3
可能有读者会问:全世界八十亿人都知道欢喜佛(即图38),肯定不会是乍现异相,引人注目;欢喜佛的图或雕像的意义何在?
Some readers may wonder: With eight billion
people worldwide familiar with the Consummation Buddha (as depicted in Figure
38), it certainly wouldn't be a sudden, extraordinary manifestation that draws
attention. What, then, is the significance of images or statues of the
Consummation Buddha?
刘员外在遗嘱里说了:“我要让常公和桃花女当众裸体跪拜我的坟,让在场的观众和未来《桃花劫》的读者代替我来笑话这对儿不孝的子女。” 这是为了治疗常公的精神病,同时也起到了宣传桃花劫故事的作用。此裸体结婚是把刘员外、桃花女、和常公之间的纠纷解决方案变现了。而产生精神病的矛盾在无意识(古做神识)里,无意识只接收现量。现量就是现实的身体和语言行为;思想行为里现量很少。所以,这个裸体婚礼就治愈了常公的精神病。
In his will, Publican Liu declared: “I demand
that Constant Fair and Peach Flower Girl kneel naked before my grave in public,
so that the spectators present and future readers of the Peach Flower Catastrophe
may mock these unfilial children in my stead.” This served both to cure
Constant Fair's mental illness and to promote the tale of the Peach Flower
Catastrophe. This naked wedding manifested the resolution of the dispute
between Publican Liu, Peach Flower Girl, and Constant Fair. The conflict that
led to mental illness resided in the unconscious (called "God-sense"
in ancient times), which only receives Present Quantity. Present Quantity
refers to actual physical and verbal behavior; it is rare in mental behaviors. Therefore,
this naked wedding cured Constant Fair's mental illness.
这个治疗心理疾病的原理是佛的六种主要觉悟之一。读者当知,据目前北美的说法,人的一生中,80%的人会遇到心理疾病的困扰,占人口总数20%的人的心理疾病严重到了需要看心理医生。
本书中还有日耳曼文化中的欢喜佛和墨西哥文化中的欢喜佛。
This principle of healing mental illness is one
of the six primary Buddha’s enlightenments Readers should be aware that, according to current
North American estimates, 80% of people will experience mental illness in their
lifetime, and 20% of the population suffer mental illness severe enough to
require consultation with a psychiatrist.
This book also includes the Consummation Buddha of Germanic culture and the Consummation Buddha of Mexican culture.
