I am layman Buddhist/pagan.
The summary is based on what I perceive is 'important' in the book.
If there is contradiction of meaning convey, the book prevails.
There are times I might questioning parts of the points inside the book doesn't mean I don't believe it. I need enlightenment on the doubts that I raise.
This trip is about touring of "Registration Office" in the underworld.
Ying Yang World
- souls come here to account for their actions on Earth
- sorting out place of Ying and Yang where the souls of all dead human beings must come to report their arrival
- Soul's earthly record of actions and deeds is transferred to the Underworld Registration Office for immediate inspection
- If a Soul do more good deeds than evil deeds, his soul would be sent to Officer-in-charge of the good souls department to tour Heaven
- If a Soul do more evil deeds than good deeds, his soul would be sent to Officer-in-charge of the evil soul department to undergo appropriate punishment
Burn silver joss paper, light oil lamps
- silver joss paper - "buy" his way
- lamps - soul's path maybe brightened
- No need to do such, if the soul do good deeds, will sent to Heaven, if the soul do bad deeds, will sent to Hell
Paper houses, motor cars, TV etc
- No need
- The Soul do not have licence to drive motor car in Underworld
- Roads are narrow and rugged and not safe for driving
- No petrol and gas station in Underworld
- Platforms and wooden bunks are provided in Underworld
- The Soul should not expect comfortable and enjoyable
- Can't use such things when undergo punishments in Hell
Xintou Shan/Mountain
- Xintou Shan/Mountain = Ying Yang Jie/World
- The souls who leave the World/Earth, are in dirty condition, eyes are dazed by the brightness of the top of Xintou Shan, the soul will falls to the foot of Xintou Shan where there is dark and bottomless cave which is called Wu Di Dong that connected to the road to Ying Yang Jie.
- If good soul arrives at Xintou Shan, the top mountain changes into big road and there are guardian angels waiting to receive him.
- If the person is average person and had done fair amount of good deeds, a guardian spirit will lead his soul to Ying Yang Jie by means of a 20 foot road at the side of mountain, and report to Ming Wang/King.
- Ming Wang (King) will inspect the records of the soul's good deeds as well as bad deeds.
Ming Wang/King
After the records have been inspected and been weighed, Ming Wang (King) will issue either the following:-
- If the soul was generally a good person, Ming Wang (King) will direct a heavenly spirit to conduct the soul to Ju Shan Shuo (literally translated to "Good deeds hangout place") where the soul is left to train himself for perfection.
- If the soul was average, neither too good nor too evil, the soul will be placed under charge of Heavenly Spirit to undergo further training and improvement.
