it was interesting to see the acrobatic Japanese actors of the Tenjosajiki company in Shuji Terayama’s Directions to servants. The title and some of the text were taken from Swift’s satire, but the main inspiration seemed to come from Genet’s Les bonnes. Multiplying the maids into a large cast of servants, male and female, who take it in turns to imitate the master, Tereyama has physicalized and partly mechanized the action. Domination is imposed partly through machines—we see a man submitting to an imperious voice on a tape recorder, lowering his trousers and climbing inside a sadistic machine that beats his bare buttocks. 　　The ingenuity, the sadism and the offbeat humour are all characteristic of the production. The main cruelty to the audience was in the over-amplification of J.A. Seazer’s music. I sat with my hands over my ears for a lot of the time. The visual assault was almost equally strong, and some of the theatrical imagery was quite unlike anything that had been seen in this country. In one meticulously choreographed sequence the servant playing at being master throws a bone to a succession of servants who play at being dogs. In another, a servant trying to steal food from a cupboard is terrified to find that it is like a puzzle: each panel conceals a face that sings at him accusingly, and he can silence it only by sliding a panel that reveals another singing face.

大家对“命中注定”这个词都耳熟能详了，也许有人要问：是不是真有“命运”这回事呢？如果有，我们能不能改变既定的命运呢？答案是肯定的——有，而且可以通过我们的努力去改变！ 　　《了凡四训》这本书是中国明朝袁了凡先生所作的家训，以此来教戒他的儿子袁天启，认识命运的真相，明辨善恶的标准，改过迁善。并且以他自己改造命运的经验来“现身说法”：在早期验证了命数的准确性，到后来进一步通晓了命数的由来，说明了人们完全可以掌握和改造自己的命运、自求多福的道理。 　　人类文明到了高度发展的今天，我们已经掌握了丰富的历史资料和宇宙知识，人们都在探求宇宙人生的真相，以解决生命的问题，亦既生死方面的问题。佛法，这一博大精深的宝藏，可以提供和满足这方面的需求。而《了凡四训》阐明了佛法中的许多根本道理，所以它也是佛法的基础和修行学佛的基础。 　　2001年，陈晓旭以中国世邦文化发展有限公司的名义，根据明代袁了凡先生的真实传奇故事改编，邀请导演黄蜀芹的儿子郑大圣执导，专门投资拍摄了一部“中华传统道德教典———《了凡四训》”的电视剧。 　　该剧共四集：《第一篇 立命之学》、《第二篇 改过之法《第三篇 积善之方》、《第四篇 谦德之效》，片长165分钟。出品单位就是陈晓旭的中国世邦文化发展有限公司，拍摄总顾问是净空老法师。 　　《了凡四训》展现了袁了凡对儿子的教诲，教他如何做人处事、如何消除灾难、如何修善积福。 　　该片导演是导演黄蜀芹的儿子郑大圣，他导演的纪实电视电影《一个农民的导演生涯》曾在奥地利的第32届易本希国际电影节上荣获过银奖。
