Third Tour of the Prison of Poisonous Bees


4th Moon 3rd Day(20th May 1977)

Ji-Gong Deities,through the services of mediums and
planchette writing.aim at helping and sympathising with the
troubles of human beings; but some mediums outwardly say that
they want to cultivate morality by helping people but
actually they have some ulterior motive to get money.

*They do not cultivate morality at all-their misdeeds are
regarded as very grave sins.There are some physiognomists who
praise themselves by advertising the correctness of their
interpretations and,like Iron-mouths -(wolves which bite and
yet no bleeding).they fleece their customers of hard earned
money thus spoiling the good reputation of the the ancient
physiognomist Gui Gu Xian Shi [].

*When such people die.their souls will be severely punished
in Hades after which they will be reborn as birds in lonely
valleys chirpping away all day through.Today we will tour
Hades again.

*Yang Sheng.get ready and get up on the lotus flower
platform.

Mr.Yang:Yes,Sir.The weather here is rather warm.I wonder if
in Hades it will be cooler and more pleasant.

Ji-Gong:In Hades the weather is so cold that even the hair
on your head will stand up.Step on the lotus flower platform
quickly and don't waste anymore time.

Mr.Yang:Yes,yes.Master,we can now start...

Ji-Gong:We have arrived,you can get down.

Officer:We extend to both of you a warm welcome for visiting
us again.

Mr.Yang:We are here again to continue seeing what goes in
this Prison of Poisonous Bees.

Ji-Gong:There are many bad characters on Earth who spoil the
good name of Saints and Deities; so that is why we come to
this Prison again to obtain more stories of sinful souls for
our Book.

Officer:Please follow me inside to have some rest first.

Mr.Yang:As we do not have much time.I think it is not
necessary for us to rest.

Officer:If that is so,then I would invite Ji-Gong and
Yang Sheng to enter the Prison.

Mr.Yang:This Prison is so full of Bees but instead of
producing honey they inject poison into the bodies of sinful
souls.

Ji-Gong:That is what it should be.When on Earth these souls
had so many sweet things,they now have to taste some
bitterness in Hades.

Mr.Yang:These sinful souls after being stung,run about the
whole place trying to escape but there is no place to go to.

Ji-Gong:People generally say.There are roads leading to
Paradise,but they don't want to take these roads; rather,
they prefer to rush towards the Prison gates.

Officer:Nowadays there are many abbots of temples who make
use of the good name of Deities to get money and to entice
innocent and ignorant women.Society disapproves of such
practices because the name of the Deities are spoilt by such
behaviour.That is why the number of souls in this Prison is
always on the increase.

*I am much moanful to see this situation.I will summon a few
of the souls so that they can tell you the extent of their
decadent morality when they were alive.

Mr.Yang:Thank you,Officer for assisting us.

Officer:I am duty bound to help you.Therefore there is no
need to stand on ceremony.I have already asked the General
to bring forward a couple of souls.Here,you two,this is
Sheng Xian Tang's Yang Sheng who is accompanying Ji-Gong to
Hades to get firsthand information for their Book; both of
you will have to tell Yang Sheng truthfully why you are here.

1 Soul :When I was alive.I was a medium of
Zhong Tan Yuan Shuai Temple of Tai Zhong,Taiwan.At first the
Deities borrowed my body as a medium and I was very
successful in curing a lot of cases which the doctors or
physicians could not tackle.These successes were mainly due
to the effectiveness of the Deity Zhong Tan Yuan Shuai.

*At last,seeing that there were so many believers and
devotees,even when Zhong Tan Yuan Shuai did not enter my
body,I pretended to enter into a trance thereby bluffing the
devotees who came to seek help.telling them that the devil
had been disturbing them and had to be appeased.

*The devotees were told to buy much joss paper to burn,and
to pay a few thousand dollars to the medium who would act and
pray for them.Actually.the Deities did not come,neither did
they ask for such things.but because the Deities did not come.
I demanded such things instead.I made a lot of money in this
way; with the ill-gotten money,I bought some big houses.

*When I died.my soul was brought by the soldiers of Hades to
the Fourth Tribunal where Wu Guan Wang scolded me.You were
the medium of Zhong Tan Yuan Shuai and being a medium.you
should have regarded it your duty to help those who came to
the temple for spiritual help.Instead,you used the good name
of the Deity to get money from the poor devotees.That being
so,the good work you had done as a medium was over-shadowed
by your greed for money- that is why you are here.

*When I was a medium.I was not afraid of the slashes and
wounds inflicted by the sacred sword but now the stings of
the Bees cause me great pain and suffering.My repentance is
too late now.

*I hope the existing living medium will not deceive the
Deities and devotees,like the bad example I had made.

Ji-Gong:By selecting mediums to go into a trance,the Deities
want to help human beings and this is the tradition of Taoism.
The fact that the Deities through mediums can cure sicknesses
which doctors cannot cure,is due to the magnanimity of the
Deities in Heaven.

*Those mediums who make money through bluffing the people are
going against the wishes of Heaven.Using one's life to become
a medium is very meritorious and it is quite in order if the
devotees choose to give donations out of their own free will
but,to use the good offices and name of Deities to get money
from believers is very unpardonable.

*According to the laws of the Earth,this is too bad,but in
the eyes of the laws of Hades.it is even much worse.

Officer:2nd Soul,it is now your turn to tell your sinful
story to Yang Sheng.

2 Soul :When I was alive.I practiced physiognomy and I was
an adept in issuing amulets.In the evenings.I set up stall
in the road side to cater for the wants of customers.Once
when business was not too good,a young man came up and asked
me to Read-his-face.

*I saw my opportunity to make easy money and got very free
with my tongue.telling him that from the look of his face.
his fate was rather gloomy and to counteract,he had to spend
money to get rid of the bad fate and I was able to assist by
drawing an amulet for him for the purpose.

*This young man had absolute faith in my powers and after
preparing the amulet,I demanded $1,500 for my services.
Henceforth,I used this ruse to get money from trusting
customers when an opportunity presented itself.

*When I died,Wu Guan Wang scolded me and said that although
I had the ability to Read-faces,I had no morality and used
my skill to get money from trusting people; he sentenced me
to this Prison for 12 years.I am already here 3 years and
have many more years of suffering to go through.My body being
stung by the Bees,is swollen and painful.

*I now repent but it is already too late.

Ji-Gong:When you were on Earth,you were very smart and also
had the gift of the gap; was like the Bees which hurt more
people but never did any good for them.Therefore,being sent
to this Prison is good retribution.

*I wish to warn all physiognomists to walk the correct path
and avoid the wrong path.Instead of looking at and studying
the faces of the customers.those who look at the customers'
Pockets will eventually have to be sent to this Prison to be
punished.As time is running short,we will now have to return.

Mr.Yang:Can I ask Officer if it is a fact that those who
damage the good name of Deities,when they die,their souls
will have to be sent to this Prison.

Officer:It depends.Those who purposely entice.and some other
special cases are sent to other Prisons.This Prison caters
for one particular type of sin.

Mr.Yang:It is now time to return and so I must thank Officer
and General for assisting us.We will have to say goodbye.

Officer:All of you,escort Ji-Gong and Yang Sheng out.

Ji-Gong:Thank you,Officer,we are leaving.Yang Sheng.Get ready
to board the lotus flower platform quickly.

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.
