Touring the Second Tribunal
Intercalary 8th Moon 26th Day(19th October 1976)

Ji-Gong:Our tour of Hades gives much work to the Deities as
well as to human beings but,nevertheless,it is well worth it
because our purpose is to help human beings as best as we can.
However,there is a saying.Doing good makes one happy.
Therefore,if we have to do good even at midnight,I as a Deity
am greatly influenced by the good intention.Today I am
bringing Yang Sheng again to visit Hades so that he can
eventually disclose the happenings there to people on Earth.
Yang Sheng,quickly prepare for the trip...

Mr.Yang:I am ready Master.

Ji-Gong:We will visit the Second Tribunal today.so please
look smart.

Mr.Yang:Very good.if I have been lacking in courtesy and have
not conducted myself properly,I beseech you,dear Master.to
give me appropriate instructions.

Ji-Gong:There is nothing to worry.Please step on the lotus
flower platform and we will proceed..We have arrived.so get
out.

Mr.Yang:What place is this? There are so many people.I see
that the soldiers of Hades have horns on their heads and have
faces of horses; they are herding the souls about.

Ji-Gong:This is the Second Tribunal; let us proceed quickly.
Go and pay your respects to "Chu Jiang Wang"[]who is the
Chief of the Second Tribunal.

Mr.Yang:There is a group of souls headed by a big-sized
person wearing glittering old fashioned robes like those
worn by temple idols.He looks awe-inspiring; on either side
of him are body guards who look like Generals.

Ji-Gong:He is Chu Jiang Wang.the Chief of the Second Tribunal;
quickly kneel down and pay your respects.

Mr.Yang:I humbly pay my respects to you
Chu Jiang Wang and Officers.

C.J.W. :Do not stand on ceremony-arise.I am very happy to see
you Ji-Gong and Yang Sheng here today in my Tribunal.We in
this Second Tribunal have already received notification of
your coming.We understand that you in Sheng Xian Tang will
visit Hades and then write a Book about what you have seen.
Just now I received a letter from Ji-Gong about your coming
here today,I would invite both of you to follow me inside.

Ji-Gong:Thank you very much Chu Jiang Wang,for welcoming us.
Yang Sheng,let us follow Chu Jiang Wang inside.

C.J.W. :Please be seated in the Reception Room.General,please
bring tea.

Mr.Yang:Thank you very much.Please excuse Ji-Gong and myself
for troubling you.I request Chu Jiang Wang to kindly explain
to me what happens in this Second Tribunal.

C.J.W. :This Second Tribunal is in fact the real Tribunal for
punishing souls.In the First Tribunal the merits and
de-merits of the souls have already been assessed but some
souls prevaricated(lied)and would not admit their sins.
So they are brought here and their records are again shown
to them.I have the authority to send such souls either to
the 16th Division in Hades or to any other new Division to
be punished for their sins on Earth.Like on Earth,new
inventions have been discovered,so likewise in Hades,we have
set up new Divisions for punishing sinful souls.

Ji-Gong:Whatever inventions or innovations take place on
Earth,such occurrences are reflected immediately on to
Heavenly mirrors which automatically inflect same to Hades.
Therefore,what happens on Earth is simultaneously known in
Heaven and in Hades.You must not think that modern day
science is very much advanced so much so that people on Earth
tend to think that there are no such things as spirits and
devils.How do you know that it is not the power of the
spirits that control modern science and inventions? Saints
and spirits actually have the latent power to control
inventions and science while human beings have only the
passive power.

Mr.Yang:Oh,is it like this? Human beings say that there is
no such a place called Hades but I have come to Hades and
have seen what is happening here.It is so very mysterious and
yet so terrible to look at; as if I am in another world.

C.J.W. :I am sorry to say that as I have some important
matters to attend to,I will have to instruct my assistant to
conduct Yang Sheng to see other parts of this place.

General:Yes,Sir.

Mr.Yang:In front of this Tribunal,I saw a soul with a wooden
pillory round his neck and his hands bound by chains-more
badly treated than any human being on Earth.I also observe
that Chu Jiang Wang,while trying one of the souls,banged on
the table and shouted,like people in the villages shouting
to cattle.

General:Time is running out.I am afraid we will have to make
a move.

Ji-Gong:Well,let us go.It is not good to see any more of what
is happening here.

Mr.Yang:In this new place,although there are so many people
about,it is so very quiet.why?

General:In every Tribunal,a special pulpit is set aside by
Di Zang Wang[]-(God of Earth) so that souls who have repented
for their past sins can be admitted,one by one.to listen to
the discourses on morality,piety.ascetic practices,that is
why this place is so quiet.

Mr.Yang:Oh,even in Hades there are such lectures being given
to the souls.Indeed,the Saints and Buddhas are very merciful.
They do not differentiate; because on Earth they preach and
in Hades they also preach.

Ji-Gong:Let us enter.

Mr.Yang:Very well.On the top of the door it reads
Second Tribunal Preaching Hall.I see that after passing
through this door,every soul has to go to a small side office
to show a pass before being allowed to enter the Hall proper.

General:Inside the small office is a General whose duty is to
control any soul entering or leaving.Only souls having the
required pass are allowed to enter the Hall proper.Please
wait outside while I inform the General inside so that you
can enter..I have reported and so both of you can enter.
Please sit in front and wait for the Saintly Preacher to come.

Ji-Gong:I can see Guan Shi Yin(Goddess of Mercy)[] coming.
Yang Sheng,kneel down to receive her.

Mr.Yang:I will obey your command.Guan Shi Yin is getting up
to the pulpit to give a speech.In the room,there are about
2000 seats like a school hall.The souls appear to be happy
and are smiling.Guan Shi Yin is dressed in pure white robe;
with a willow twig she is sprinkling holy water on the
audience.Dear Master,what is the purpose of sprinkling the
holy water?

Ji-Gong:The holy water is like the sweet dew in the morning
and when sprinkled on anyone has the effect of salvation for
human beings.To those having affinity and to those who
realise their past wrong-doings and truly and sincerely
repent they will be saved and put on board a Buddha Barge on
its journey to everlasting happiness.By thus,sprinkling holy
water is Guan Shi Yin's main ambition to save humanity?
Please do not ask anymore questions but just pay attention
to what Guan Shi Yin is going to say.

G.S.Y.:I am very happy to see Yang Sheng of Sheng Xian Tang
and Ji-Gong here today to be with us in this discussion.
I hope that when Yang Sheng returns to Earth he will do his
utmost to persuade human beings to do meritorious and good
deeds.The aim of Sheng Xian Tang is to help people and your
members work very hard in this direction; they will
eventually go to Paradise.I expect them to continue to work
harder still.

Ji-Gong:Yang Sheng,quickly kneel down and thank Guan Shi Yin
because she praises you and teaches you in the right
direction.

Mr.Yang:I thank you Guan Shi Yin for encouraging me.
When I return toEarth.I will certainly tell the people what
you have taught me.

C.J.W. :Very well,now let us start our discourse.From the
beginning of Time,there has been endless series of births,
deaths,and re-births but although the body decays.the spirit
is never destroved.Although you are here you still do not
understand that even if the body is dead and decayed.your
original spirit still exists.On Earth there are such things
as love,hatred,jealousy,ill-feeling etc all like a dream.
This dreaming will continue forever.following the theory of
cause and effect and unless it is stopped,it will stupefy
human beings and the result will be continuous transmigration
of souls -a series of deaths and re-births in various forms.

*Now the world is undergoing changes.You will observe that
nowadays,a newborn child is more enlightened.intelligent and
active than one born many decades ago.This is the secret of
Nature but this is like the flame of a candle when blown by
the wind-anytime the flame can be extinguished.Therefore
because of assumed Smartness of people at present,their
spiritual nature is self-exhausted and they do not stand to any reason at all,thus
causing so much suffering and misunderstanding everywhere
resulting in so much social disorder.Because of all these
misdeeds on Earth.

*your sins follow your souls to Hades here.You must
understand that if there is a body there mud be a shadow.
Do not be under the wrong impression that if there is no
light there is no shadow,but when it concerns your actions,
the shadow is there whether there is light or not.However,
if one has a sinful thought.the sin is already recorded
irrespective of whether it is actually committed or not.
Now that your souls are here in the Second Tribunal.it means
that all of you still have some conscience left and have a
desire for penance.I hope that you will understandingly
accept any punishment that will be imposed so that your sins
can be atoned for.You must suffer in patience but I will be
your saviour.(Guan Shi Yin has finished speaking)

Ji-Gong:Yang Sheng,quickly escort Guan Shi Yin to the door.

Mr.Yang:I obey you.Master.I thank Guan Shi Yin for her
precious words of advice.(All souls kneel down.Many souls
who were greatly influenced by the speech broke down and
wept openly.)

Ji-Gong:By speaking and explaining to the souls in such a
kind and persuasive manner,Guan Shi Yin shows that she has
a very kind and tender heart and love for the suffering.
I therefore entreat all human beings to understand that
while they are still alive they must do good deeds and
perform ascetic practices otherwise their souls will be sent
here to Hades to undergo punishment and suffering in the
Second Tribunal and to atone for their sins.It is much better
to do good when still alive than for the soul to come here
and suffer,it will be too late then.It is now time to return,
as it is getting too late.Yang Sheng please prepare to return.

General:In case I have not entertained you sufficiently well,
I request Ji-Gong and Yang Sheng to forgive me.

Mr.Yang:How can you ask me to forgive you? I am just a human
being of the Earth and how can I forgive you.I would like to
ask dear Master,why is there a special pulpit in every
Tribunal,when can the soul attain spiritual perfection?

Ji-Gong:In every Tribunal there is a special pulpit for
preaching and discourse to the souls to rehabilitate them.
These souls are then tested and if found that they have
assimilated and profited through the preaching and discourse,
they are promoted to a higher level for ascetic practices.
Time is running out therefore stop asking anymore questions
and prepare to return.We have now to thank General for
entertaining us.We have now arrived at Sheng Xian Tang.
Yang Sheng get out of the lotus flower platform,and soul
return to Yang Sheng's body.
