TouringWanJiao Gui Zong


8th Moon 26th day(19th September 1976)

Ji-Gong:Today we will again journey to the Under-world;
therefore Yang Sheng quickly climb up to the lotus platform.

Mr.Yang:I obey your instructions.Master..I am now securely
seated on the lotus flower platform and am ready to proceed.

Ji-Gong:Well,we have arrived.Quickly descend from the
platform.

Mr.Yang:I see that before me there is a gate of a fort with
the words Gui Men Glian[]-Gate to Devil's Home.In fact,
Gui Men Guan is here but why is it that the door is shut and
yet I can hear a lot of disorderly voices coming from within.

Ji-Gong:This door is never opened but the souls of the dead
manage to enter into this home..But you see,I will wave my
fan and the door will automatically open.

Mr.Yang:Oh,how wonderful.my respectful Master.You have such
powers that by just waving your fan and the door opens
immediately.But the souls of human beings do not have fans
like yours.How then do they manage to enter?

Ji-Gong:When a human being dies he becomes a ghost.When on
Earth the body can walk about on the roads but after death,
he becomes a devil,and on reaching Gui Men Guan.the gate
automatically opens for his soul to enter.When a person is
alive.the door of Earth is open and when he dies,the door of
Earth is closed and the door of Gui Men Guan is open for his
soul to enter.This is one of the wonders of nature.Now walk
faster.I will take you to another place.

Mr.Yang:As you instruct,but I can still hear a lot of noise
coming from inside Gui Men Guan like a market place.I don't
know what the souls inside there are doing.

Ji-Gong:The souls are waiting to be escorted to the
TEN TRIBUNALS for the various stages of trials for what they
had done whilst on Earth.Now the soldiers of Hell are
bringing them there.Today we are not going to see this.
So follow me quickly.

Mr.Yang:Yes,why is this road so rugged?Actually where are we
going?

Ji-Gong:After walking two miles then you will know.

Mr.Yang:In front of us,I see a soul being led by a soldier
of Hell;where is he going?

Ji-Gong:When this person was alive on Earth,he was a
religious man,staying in a temple but he was not very truly
pious because he often belittled other religions except his
own.Now that he is dead,his soul is being led to Hell to be
tried.

Mr.Yang:In front of us is a pavilion;there are four
characters Wan Jiao Gui Zong[].what is this place?

Ji-Gong:At the present time on Earth,there are many religious
faiths,but the various followers of one faith are always
attacking the religious beliefs of other faiths thus causing
the meaning of true ascetic practices to be lost..These
people are very evil in speech and so when they die,their
souls are brought to Wan Jiao Gui Zong to undergo further
indoctrination and instruction in the correct path.In front
of us is a Master coming.Yang Sheng quickly approach him and
pay your respects.

Mr.Yang:I humbly pay my respects to you,Master.

Master :Welcome.Ji-Gong and Yang Sheng of Sheng Xian Tang who
have arrived here today.Earlier we had received news of your
visit.Arise,Yang Sheng,do not stand on ceremony.

Ji-Gong:Today.I bring Yang Sheng here in the hope that you,
Master will kindly show him this place and explain to him.

Master :Please follow me to the Hall inside.Please be seated.

Mr.Yang:Wan Jiao Gui Zong has a good meaning but its real
function is not known to me.I beg you,Master,to kindly
explain the meaning to me.

Master :Nowadays,there are five main important religions in
the World i.e.1) Taoism.2) Islam,3) Confucianism.4)
Christianity and5) Buddhism.These are the true religions
having the Right Path(Tao) as the source.Originally,there
was only one religion but eventually,Heaven sent down the
various Sages to teach human beings throughout the World the
true religious beliefs.After the death of these Sages,the
followers of one Sage competed with the followers of the
other Sages to claim that one particular religion was and
is better than any other religions.Now you see this soul
being led by the soldiers of Hell.After the death of that
person,his soul is brought here.The Jade Emperor is very
kind-hearted.He does not want to see souls suffer,that is
why the office of Wan Jiao Gui Zong is established so that
the souls of religious people are brought here to undergo
further indoctrination and instruction.

Ji-Gong:Master,what you have said is very true,but Yang Sheng
here does not quite understand.If he is brought and shown
what you have said,it will be better because.hearing is one
thing and seeing is much better and will remain in the memory.

Master :Right,then follow me.

Mr.Yang:Oh,this Hall is so large.It covers so many hundred
mou(Chinese equivalent of an acre) and looks like a very big
classroom with millions of people waiting for their teacher
to come.

Master :Yes,they are like students.Please follow me and we
will occupy some of the seats reserved for distinguished
visitors.

Mr.Yang:The stage is so big that we have never seen one like
this on Earth.In front of us there is a blackboard which
reads Wan Jiao Gui Zong.I see a lecturer getting up on to
the stage.He looks like a Buddha or holy man.All the
students stand up to show their respect.

Lecture:Today we have a visitor from Earth named
Yang Shan Sheng(Yang Sheng for short) of Sheng Xian Tang,
Taiwan,China.Let us all clap hands as a sign of welcome.

Mr.Yang:Master,how can all of these students understand the
Lecturer who speaks in Chinese?

Ji-Gong:The world is so large that there are so many races
with so many faiths but when human beings die their souls
become enlightened and they can understand any language-like
when one sees Iightning flashing it is sure to be followed by
thunder.Therefore,when they hear the Lecturer speak,all of
them know the meaning of what he is saying.Please do not ask
so many questions.Let us concentrate on the Lecturer's speech.

Lecture:There are many kinds of human beings but their hearts
are the same.They are born in various parts of the Earth but
when they eventually die all of them will gather in one place
-- the Under-world.There are human beings of various colours
and races.When hungry all want to eat,and when tired all will
want to sleep or rest.Above our heads,there is the sky and
under our feet there is the Earth.The Sun and the Moon shine
on everthing everywhere;human beings,animals and plants all
enjoy the effects and benefits of the Sun and the Moon.In t
he world there are many religions,each one attacking the
other saying that only their followers will go to Heaven
while the followers of other religions will go to Hell.
Religious people who belittle other religions hope to go to
Heaven when they die.but instead they will be suspended
half-way,neither in Heaven nor in Hell-like a caged bird
being hung up half-way.These people think they are already
in Heaven but in fact they are in Hell.

*They are sinful and cannot save themselves but must depend
on others to save them.When all of you were alive on Earth,
each and everyone of you expected to go to Heaven after death,
but actually all of you have now fallen into Hell.When on
Earth,all your bodies were of various colours,black,white,
brown,red,yellow,etc but after death,only your souls come
here.After death,the bodies with various colours do not come
here to Hell -- the bodies of various colours are left behind
but the heart or souls of only one colour come here.When
living you attacked each other and had no love for each other.
Therefore where is this meaning of universal love and mercy?

*From the beginning of time up to now,the Sun and the Moon
have been shining on all human beings,both good and evil.
They will continue to shine on everyone so that their
blessings will be on this and future generations irrespective
of whether they are good or evil.Therefore,ladies and
gentlemen,all your souls here must be aroused and must have
only one heart to work as one body and must not attack each
other.

*Now you must spread the teaching of Wan Jiao Gui Zong.
Gui Zong means one heart-all hearts must become one heart
and must work towards mutual help and love for each other.
All religions have doors wide open to admit those who believe
in any particular religion;although the founders are
different,the ultimate aim is the same-to teach all to do
good.I hope all human beings will follow this "true path" so
that the troubled world can become happy and peaceful.All the
founders of the main religions want to rave the souls of
human beings but not their bodies.If all of you can first
discover your own inner-most hearts and avoid evil doings
only then can you attain happiness,leading eventually,to the
creation of a united and happy world.Everybody can then
become sage-like and attain wisdom.Otherwise they will fall
into Hell to undergo another transmigration of soul ...

Ji-Gong:Time's up.Yang Sheng,say goodbye to Master.We will
come on another visit when there is an opportunity.Yang Sheng
please pay your respects.

Mr.Yang:Master,I am very sorry,time is limited and we have
to return to Sheng Xian Tang although the lecture is not
finished.Please excuse me for this lack of courtesy.

Master :Never mind,we will escort you out.

Ji-Gong:Yang Sheng,climb up the lotus flower platform.Having
heard the lecture today,what are your impressions?

Mr.Yang:There is profound meaning in the lecture.On Earth
every religion is attacking each other,like the melon seller
claiming that only his melon is sweet.The best thing is for
the customer to taste the fruit himself to find out.It is
also like a person who drinks water;he alone only knows
whether the water is hot or cold on drinking.It is best left
to the customer to decide what is good or what is bad for him.
Then only it is fair.

Ji-Gong:Human beings always hold fast to their own wrong
beliefs and will not listen to persuasion,therefore they
cannot go to Heaven.Fairies and sages are the mouth-pieces
of Heaven and therefore they are very fair.In future if you
are reborn in another country and believe in the religion of
that country.do not think that I.Ji-Gong,will not come to
your assistance when required.Then only will others know that
I am a Sage.This means that I'm not selfish.I hope that human
beings will discard their selfishness and cultivate
public-spiritedness,otherwise their Heaven is only five feet
wide-how many people can such a five-foot wide Heaven
contain?
*O.K.we have now arrived at Sheng Xian Tang.Yang Sheng.
get down from the lotus flower platform.
Your soul will return to your body.
