Touring the Prison of Forced Drinking of Medicine
1st Moon 19th Day(8th March 1977)

Ji-Gong:There are many human beings who are very unscrupulous,
their main aim in life is to get money and wealth no matter
by what means.Such people have no morality,like the quack
doctor and those who make imitation medicine to sell.They
regard human life like grass.In spite of the existing strict
laws,they are not a bit afraid and they persist in their evil
undertakings.When these people die,then only will their souls
realise,very much too late,what great sins they had committed
against their fellow beings.If you don't believe,I will bring
Yang Sheng to that portion of Hades and he can see for
himself and thus speak out or write to prove the correctness
of what I had just said.Yang Sheng,get ready to tour Hades;
Step on the lotus flower platform quickly.

Mr.Yang:In which direction are we going today?

Ji-Gong:We will now go to the Fourth Tribunal.

Mr.Yang:I am securely seated,dear Master;you can start...

Ji-Gong:We have arrived;get down.

Mr.Yang:Why is it that in the Prison in front,I can hear
vomitting and moaning? On the top of the Prison are the words
Prison of Forced Drinking Medicine.The Ox-head-horse-faced
Generals are forcing one male and one female soul into the
Prison.Oh,the Officer and General have come out.I think they
know we are coming to visit them.

Ji-Gong:Yes,The Officer and General have come to welcome us.
Yang Sheng,quickly go and pay your respects.

Officer:Welcome to you Ji-Gong and
Sheng Xian Tang's Yang Sheng.to our place.I have received an
Order from Wu Guan Wang that both of you are coming here to
visit us to enable you to write the Book Journeys to the
Under-World for human beings to read and to assure them that
the Prisons in Hades are real and do exist.Please follow me
to have a look.

Mr.Yang:Thank you,Officer,for entertaining us so well.
Both sides of this Prison gate are so full of ail kinds of
medicines,the labels are in many languages,viz.Chinese,
English,Japanese etc.The packing is very good too.Can I ask
Officer if you sell these medicines in the Prison? If not,
why then do you stock so many kinds of medicine.On Earth the
dispensaries do not have so many types of medicine for sale.

Officer:Far from it,we do not sell medicines in this Prison.
The medicines you see are imitations and were made by
unscrupulous human beings.As soon as an imitation medicine
is manufactured and put on sale by human beings,we in Hades
get to know about this imitation and have same in stock.The
stock we have here is the exact reproduction of the imitation
medicine made by the imitators.I would advise human beings
not to undertake such discreditable imitations stealthily and
in the dark rooms and places.Remember that in the dark places
there are saints as well as devils to oversee you and your
discreditable actions.

*The Book,Tai Shang Gan Ying Plan[]says-There is no way to
make a person lucky or unlucky;it all depends upon oneself;
good is recompensed by good and evil by evil.This
recompensation is like one's shadow following him wherever
he goes.-This is the meaning of what has already been said
earlier.

Ji-Gong:Human beings do not believe in the doctrine of cause
and effect.You must understand that the recompensation of
good and evil which is like your shadow will follow you
always;you can see this shadow under a light but in a dark
room or dark place no shadow can be seen.In such a place or
situation,whatever thing you do no one sees or knows about
except yourself but you do not realise that in a dark room
or place there are many saints and devils and whatever
sinful things or actions you do.these saints and devils will
definitely know.

Officer:I would invite both of you to come quickly inside to
see what is going on.

Mr.Yang:This Prison is surrounded by wire fencing but we can
see and hear the souls there crying.The soldiers of Hades are
carrying pails of dark liquid and forcing the liquid down the
throats of the souls who are struggling against drinking the
dark liquid.

Ji-Gong:I think it is better that,instead of remaining here,
I bring you to the place we visited the last time to see what
punishment is being given to that soul.

Officer:Very well,I will bring you there.

Mr.Yang:It is really very pitiful.The other day this soul
had good colour on his face but now just after three days of
our last visit.his face has turned very pale.All over his
face,eyes,ears,nose and mouth are smeared with black liquid
and I don't know what it is.

Officer:When this soul was alive;he made imitation medicines
and now that he is dead,he is brought here and the black
liquid medicine is forced into his mouth for him to drink.
The black liquid is very bitter and contains poison-very
difficult to swallow.When the liquid enters the stomach,the
intestines will be twisted and because of the pain,the soul
will have a feeling of nausea.This is recompensation for
making imitation medicine.

Mr.Yang:His western style dress is very dirty being smeared
with the black liquid medicine and his eyes are not lively
at all.

1. Soul:Please save me! Will this Buddhist monk and human
being please rescue me because I am suffering terribly.If
you can rescue me I promise that on my next rebirth I will
not mind being an ox or a dog to repay you for your help.I
still have plenty of money and property on Earth and I will
ask my children to give money to you.

Officer:You are talking rubbish.This is Ji-Gong you are
talking to,not an earthly monk;what is the good of giving
money to himl Quickly disclose to this human being here what
sins you had committed when you were alive.This human being
is Guan Di Gong's disciple Yang Sheng who is touring Hades
in order to write a Book exhorting human beings to do good
deeds.Will you,therefore relate frankly so that your sins
can be extenuated.

1.Soul :Thank you,Your excellency.Talking about it I feel
very ashamed and my descendants too will be shameful.

*When I was alive,I opened a western type of drug store
selling Western and Chinese medicines and pills.After being
in this business for a number of years,I acquired sufficient
knowledge of making various kinds of patented medicines and
pills.Consequently,I bought a set of medicine-making
machinery and using flour as a base plus colouring matter,
I began to imitate the more popular types of medicines and
pills and copied their trademarks.I manufactured a lot for
distribution to other medicine shops as well as selling them
in my own drug store.In this way,I made huge profits...

*Early this year.I was unlucky to fall sick and subsequently
died at the age of 52 years.After my death,my soul was
brought by the Ox-head-horse-faced General to the
Magic Mirror which reproduced that when was alive.I made
imitation medicines and sold them for people to eat.The true
reproduction gave me no chance to defend myself.Three days
earlier.I was brought to the Fourth Tribunal for Wu Guan Wang
to sentence me to undergo punishment in this
Prison of Forced Drinking of Medicine for a period of 30
years.At the time sentence was pronounced,I was stunned out
of my wits because right in front of me were all the original
packings of the various imitation medicines I had made.

*The Legal Officer of Hades is very smart because what have
I got to say in defence of my past misdeeds when all evidence
against me is herel For the last three days it was real
torture because if I did not drink the black fluid the
soldiers would beat me up;If I forced myself to drink,this
fluid made my intestines twist and turn causing me to feel
nausea.It is already too late for me to repent for my sins.
I hope that human beings will take heed and not follow my
bad example.

Officer:You beast;you still have a string of other sins to
disclose;do not deceive or try to hide.If you refuse to
disclose,your punishment will be more severe.

2. Soul:Very well,I will tell everything.When I operated the
drug store,my main aim was to make and amass as much money
as I could.Earlier,I manufactured drugs and sold them to
young men and women to take and they became drug addicts-I
really deserved to die.

*In another instance a friend of mine gave me a religious
book which exhorted people to do good deeds.I flicked
through a few pages which dwelt on ascetic practices and also
on religious poems.I did not believe a word of what I had
read because,this being the space world or space age,one
should not believe in saints and holy things,so I chucked
the book away at the same time scolding the saints,thinking
that only superstitious people would blindly believe in
saints and devils.

*How was to know that after death I was to
be sentenced by Wu Guan Wang to an additional 5 years for two
more sins,viz:scolding the saints and secondly.for
throwing-the religious book away?I admit I had blundered and
so I beg Ji-Gong and Yang Sheng to help me out.

Mr.Yang:From what he had said,I would think that this soul is
quite sincere so I would recommend that part of his sentence
be remitted.

Ji-Gong:When he was alive,he did not believe in the existence
of saints and devils.He said he was living in the space age.
That was why he did not believe in such things;now that he
has died.he has repented but unfortunately.he is in Hades and
therefore too late.

*Although he appears quite sincere in his disclosures,I think
that he will be rewarded when this Book.Journeys to the
Under-World is published and distributed to human beings to
read,but the reward will be small,something in the region of
one upon ten thousand.

Officer:You well deserve this punishment therefore there is
no need to ask others to appeal for you.Although by making
imitation medicines and pills you did not directly cause the
death of people,you did,indirectly,cause their death,so
Wu Guan Wang had no choice but to sentence you to that heavy
punishment.

Ji-Gong:We do not have much time to spend here.We will come
again some other day.

Mr.Yang:Thank you,Officer and General,for the kind assistance
given;we will have to return to Sheng Xian Tang and so I say
goodbye.

Ji-Gong:Quickly step on the lotus flower platform to return
to Sheng Xian Tang.

Mr.Yang:I am safely seated,dear Master,we can start...

Ji-Gong:We have arrived at Sheng Xian Tang.Yang Sheng,
get down.Soul.return to your body.
