Pls stroll down for the English abstract.
早前寫的《做一年》的行為藝術,提及謝偉俊身穿超人裝束抗議,以及長毛抬棺材又算不算的問題,(現在或可加上"黃毓文擲蕉")見下:

但我下面舉的例子,其性質或許可說是完全不同於以上三位尊貴的議員。這位被譽為超凡入聖的母親,有下面這樣"五十年不變"的生活方式,我引述譯者徐梵澄先生的簡介原文如下:
五十年間,這位母親,每日早晨六時一刻,必在其寓所二層臨街的涼台上與大眾相見。院友或路人時已靜立街上仰望她,她向每人看一看,便退去了。晦陰晴雨皆如此,未嘗間間斷過一日,每日未嘗或遲或早一分鐘。其餘每日上午每天授花一朵不論。其他工作更不必說。
這位被印度信徒尊稱為"母親"的本是法國貴族,生於1878年,署名Mira,中譯密那,曾旅居日本,人稱"美良",密那氏曾希望遠赴中國,但因北洋軍閥混戰未果;自1914年定居印度凡六十年,1973年逝世,享年96歲。
我買入此書,僅僅因為譯者是學通中印的徐梵澄先生。裡面大多是類似的話:
1. 勇猛是心靈高貴之表相。但勇猛必須沉靜,能自克,寬大,仁慈。
2. 清醒從來未嘗有害於任何人。
3. 和平當浩大,寂靜當深沉,寧定當不可動搖,對"神明"的信托當只加增上。
4. 所當達的共同目標,是一進展底宇宙和諧之來臨。
5. 有兩件事你永不當忘記:室利阿羅頻多的大慈,和"母親"的大愛,以此二者,你方進行戰鬥,沉定地,耐心地,直到仇敵皆確已擊敗,而"勝利"永遠決定了。
外則勇猛,內則平靜,對"神聖恩慈"有堅定不搖底信賴。
一定是我悟性太差,我讀的時候常常想起中學時看的中靈雞湯以及一些傳統修身格言,無法與這些話的智慧產生共鳴。更重要的是,如果視為宗教類的書,它無法安慰和撫平我的心靈。
但有一樣我可以肯定的是:這位母親過的是一種藝術化的人生。就她以一生成就的造詣/境界而言,她的一生就是偉大的行為藝術作品。
I wrote a blog article on performance art in July, you may refer to :

This time I like to share with you a legend of one holy woman, named Mira, who was regarded as " The Holy Mother" in India. She was an French aristocrat who settled in India since 1914 until she died in 1973, at the age of 96.
The following is one example to let us know her artistic life:
For over 50 years, every morning she waked up at 0615 and then met people who came to greet and worship her. She glanced them and then left. She had been doing this 'thing' exactly the same for over 50 years, every morning, without any disturbance nor any change.And, she had been doing other things exactly the same for over 50 years as well.
I regard it as a truly masterpiece of performance art. She takes her own life as The Work.
