Disclaimer:
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 touring of First Tribunal.
Head of First Tribunal is Qin Guang Wang (King Qin Guang)
When a human being dies, his soul sent to Ying Yang Jie (World of Ying Yang) to report. The Hell warden would then bring his soul to First Tribunal with the soul's record file for investigation on number of good deeds and bad deeds.
If the soul had done more good deeds, his soul will be conducted to visit other Tribunals, or be brought to more heavenly places for ascetic practices.
If the soul commit more evil deeds, the Hell warden will bring him to Second Tribunal to be tried.
If the soul done many evil deeds be will be brought to Nie Jing Tai (Magic Mirror Pavilion) (a reflecting mirror which shows all the evil deeds that one had done on Earth).
Souls crying, why?
When the soul is in Earth, the souls never thought of doing good, they never believed in punishment for wrong deeds, they never believed in retribution after death. They thought everything would be forgotten as soon as they died.
The souls now realise and regret that they have to be punished for their past evil deeds on Earth
Another reason is because they realise they have left their beloved ones and family behind.
Another reason is they cannot bring worldly properties with them. They come here empty handed.
Hell warden is very cruel, why?
Use spears to poke the souls, use whips to thrash the souls.
The hell warden have no pity to those souls that do sinful deeds on Earth.
The hell warden will show great respect to those souls that perform good deeds.
Casual relations
If human being does evil on Earth, his evil deeds will cause more sufferings to his dead forebears in Hades. If he/she do good on Earth, his dead relatives in Hades will benefit, if he/she does evil, his dead relatives will suffer.
My question: About casual relations, I thought one deeds, oneself bore the deeds, not others to bear, no?
