75 歲種稻的阿伯說
種田對他來說,是一種修行
風吹、日曬……有時候颱風來襲
農人是無法抵抗的
禪--就是不讓你反抗
你甘心忍受
農人都是如此忍受
像和尚修禪……靜靜的坐、靜靜的修
農人的勞動就是默默地修禪
一季望過一季
好壞冬望著好壞冬
靜待收成的到來
就像以前的人抓魚
這池子沒抓到魚,就換別的池子
總是有會抓到幾隻大魚如此期待著
農人是如此期待著……
無米樂、無米樂
心情放輕鬆,不要煩惱太多
這叫做……無米樂啦
台灣錢淹腳目,是用來形容臺灣的富裕;我們很想發明一個新的片語--臺灣米淹腳目,來讚譽臺灣農業技術的成熟。
臺灣這個小島,山多平原少,但是人口密度卻居世界第一,如何滿足這兩千多萬張嘴呢?可能很少人想過這個問題。做為主要糧食的稻米,臺灣不僅自給自足,而且供過於求,有誰想過這是多麼了不起的成就呢?這一切都要感謝臺灣這一群任勞任怨,精耕細作的稻農。
無米樂,紀錄臺灣的大米倉之一,臺南縣後壁鄉三個老稻農的勞動與生活。一顆顆晶瑩剔透的汗珠和著一粒粒的稻米,陪他們走過了大半個世紀,透過他們的勞動 與生活,我們可以領略到生活的智慧,也可以意會到人與人、人與動物、人與神、人與天、人與土地,是如何微妙地共生共存著,在浩瀚的天地之間,在人世的悲喜 之間,他們終將成就了自身的圓滿。
WTO --這隻看不見的巨獸張著牙、舞著爪,就像烏雲密佈的惡魔天空,而這群老農民就像手無寸鐵的孤兒……主流社會關心他們嗎?政府在意他們嗎?捫心自問,我們 自己曾經想過他們的存在嗎……我們是不是有時候愛吃不吃的,隨便扒了兩口飯,就把一千五百顆的米粒遺棄在孤獨的碗裡呢……即便如此,我們仍舊相信他們終將 存活下去,只因為他們懂得如何糊口……。
陽光下,老農頭頂斗笠、光著腳丫子走在田埂 上,這條路,是他日復一日、年復一年不斷行走的羊腸小徑,他一邊踏著泥土一邊拔著雜草,一滴滴的汗從他的臉頰緩緩落下,濕濡了他的汗衫、溶入他昨日才施肥 的泥土中。面對逐漸西下的夕陽,他的雙眼映滿綠油油的稻禾,點點陽光閃爍著剛剛出頭的金黃稻穗,老農佈滿皺紋的臉期待的神色……這樣的景象,也許在我們不 經意轉身後,就再也看不見……。

The 75 years old rice grower said
Working the fields is ascetic to him
The gusty wind, the scorching sun ......Sometimes, thethundering storm
Farmers have no way to resist
Zen - teaches you how not to resist
You accept it willingly
Farmers always accept it so
Sitting silently, meditating silently ...... Like a
Buddhist monk practicing
ZenThe labor of the farmers is practicing Zen silently
Season to season
Winter to winter, good or bad
Expecting for the harvest to come
Just like those who catches fishes in the past
If there is no catch in this pond, then change to another pond
There is always a chance for a big catch
Expecting so
Farmers are expecting so ......
Let it be, let it be
Relax your heart, not too much worries
And we say ......Let it be
In Taiwan, we have a saying, "Money is flooding up to the ankles of Taiwan", which is to tell of how rich Taiwan is. We want to invented a new saying, "Rice is flooding up to the ankles of Taiwan" to celebrate the maturity of the agricultural technology of Taiwan.
In this mountainous island of Taiwan without many plains, the population density ranked first around the world, how are these 2,000,000 mouths to be fed? Maybe not many people have thought of this question. Rice is the main food provision in Taiwan. Not only just produced enough for its own demands, Taiwan actually supplied more then its demand, did anyone appreciate such an extraordinary achievement? We should thank the dedicated rice farmers who always work industriously.
Let it be, documented the hard work and livings ofthree old rice farmers at the Houbi Village of TainanCounty which is one of the largest rice growing regionof Taiwan. Sparkling drops of sweats and grains ofrice have been with them for decades. Through theirhard work and livings, we could appreciate the wisdomof life. Also, we come to understand how subte it isbetween, human and human, human and animals, human andgods, human and heaven, human and earth, to share thisworld, between heaven and earth, between sadness andhappiness. Eventually, they shall be accomplished.
WTO - this invisible giant monster is showing itsteeth; waving its claws, just like the time when thesky was overcastted by the dark clouds of the evil,and these old farmers are just like defenselessorphans ...... Would the mainstream society cares aboutthem? Is the government aware of them? Let us askourselves, have we ever thought of their existence...... Have we or have we not sometimes filled our ricebowl with more then we would have needed, have acouple of scoops, and then left 1,500 rice grains towaste in that lonely rice bowl ...... Even so, I stillbelieve that the farmers shall survive, simply becausethey know how to feed......
Under the sun, with the straw hat on his head, the oldfarmer is walking on the dyke with his bare feet. This path, this is the path he has been trekking, dayafter day, year after year. Pulling the weeds whilestepping on mud, drops of sweat are flowing down hischin, through his body and finally melted into theearth that he has just fertilized yesterday. Lookingat the setting sun, his eyes were filled by theluscious green of the stem and the sparkling gold ofthe budding grains in the glory of the sun, and thewinkled face of the old farmer is expecting ...... Sucha scene, maybe if we turn around carelessly, willnever be seen again ......
