VISIT TO THE 2ND PALACE (2ND TRIBUNAL) - INTERVIEW WITH THE KING VISIT TO THE CONFERENCE HALL
Buffalo-headed and horse-faced guards escorting the souls.
As a rule, the souls of the dead, after being carefully judged by the 1st Palace as to their merits and their sins, are handed over to the 2nd Palace.
Those souls that not admit their sins in First Tribunal then been shown their merits and demerits here again here.
The Judge here have authority to send the souls to any prison/division in hell or any new prison/division of hell.
Like in Earth, new inventions have been discovered, so new divisions been set up to cater to punishing new souls. Meaning whatever inventions or innovations take place on Earth, such occurrences reflected immediately (simultaneously known) on Heavenly mirrors which automatically inflect the same in Hell.
In each Tribunal/Palace, special conference been set up by Boddhisattva of Underworld, for the souls that repented for their past sin and admitted here to listen to the discourse of morality etc. The souls are tested and if found that they have assimilated and profited through preaching and discourse, they will be promoted to higher level for ascetic practices.
Kuan Yin, the Supreme Goddess, is seen sitting on her dais of lotus, clad in a white silk robe, with a twig of willow in hand that she dips in an urn of holy water and mimics the gesture of sprinkling it over the audience. What does her gesture mean?
The water has effect of salvation for human beings or those having affinity and realise their past doings and repent. They will be saved and put on board to everlasting happiness.
Kuan Yin's sermon
- since the beginning of time, there has been endless series of births, deaths, and re-births
- although the body decays, the spirit never destroyed
- On Earth, there is love, hatred, jealousy, ill-feeling etc and this will continue forever, following the theory of cause and effect, continuously transmigration of souls, a series of deaths and re-births in various forms.
- Nowadays, newborn child is more enlightened, intelligent and active. This is like a flame of a candle when blown by the wind - anytime the flame can be extinguished. Because of assume smartness of people at present, their spiritual nature is self exhausted and causing so much suffering and misunderstanding everywhere and result in much social disorder.
- Because of misdeeds in Earth, the sins follow the souls here in Hell
- If one has a sinful thought, the sin is already recorded irrespective of whether it is actually committed or not.
- Though sinking in the world of darkness, you still can preserve a minimum of your conscience which is not yet darkened. You must repent of your past misdeeds. I advise you to understand the Truth and endure the mortification of strenuous punishment, so that your past crimes can be eliminated. Suffer the pains stoically, and shake off all ill will. I shall come again to bring you my blessings.

SECOND VISIT TO THE CITADEL OF PREMATURE DEATH
Visiting citadel of death at east as both Tse Kong and Yang Sheng possess Four Virtues of Buddhism.
In each of these two rooms separated by a partition, young people of both sexes packed together. They have dishevelled hair, and their looks are deplorable.
These young people, when in life, loved each other passionately. But something negative happened to them. They were deeply affected, they mourned their lost love. Then they took their lives. Thus, their souls are brought here.
In that far jail, there are many people with mutilated arms and legs, cracked heads, and their bodies covered with blood. Their wails, groans and cries are heart-breaking.
They are the victims of traffic accidents in the world. Since they have not yet come to the age determined by their destinies, they rank in the category of premature death. Their souls, when arriving in hell, are temporarily detained here, until they attain the limit of their longevity. Then their souls will sent to the Tribunals for trial.
Is this fair? The person is victim of accident, his/her soul suffered and been sent here for detention somemore.
It’s not necessary that every person killed in a traffic accident come here. Those people who have attained their predestined age and are killed in an accident because of the karma of their previous life, don’t come here. They should know that their conduct in the former life affects only seven tenths of their present destiny, while the other three tenths is influenced by their moral conduct in this life. This axiom is justified: “Destiny is hard to modify, but luck may deter its course”.
Poignant screams
They are the victims of assassination or of mutual slaughter.
Why sent here? They die due to karma anyway.
Another category of men who in this life refuse squarely to improve morally, or to acquire new virtues. They are the root of every quarrel and disorder that impairs the celestial cause. It is because of them that the motives for premature death are created. “One should get rid of a vendetta rather than nurture it”. If someone owes you money but he cannot repay it, when you don’t force the payment, you will benefit infinite grace from God. If in the human world one doesn’t nurture in one’s heart a selfish craving but lives fraternally with all fellowmen, just as heaven and earth don’t protect any particular individual, hell will exist no longer. The theory of causality will fall into disuse.
If a man inconsiderately loves every flower (implying the fair sex), telling himself that a given flower owed him a debt of love in her former life, and that in this life he is entitled to claim his due, he commits a heavy error. His actions are in no way justified by the principle of causality, nor are they included in the law of retaliation and account settlement. The cause created by his former life can only be justified when his encounter with the girl is sudden and spontaneous.
Wrong to assume the persons with angelic and buddhistic essence are the only ones to attain enlightenment and reach nirvana. More erroneous are the idle remarks of those men who pretend to be exempt from any type of work, once they own a fortune worth tens of thousands of dollars.
In the beginning, the souls are good and saintly but through process of transmigration of souls, become involved in earthly sins. That is why present day human beings cannot return to original state of their souls. Humans should do good with expectation to be reborn into better life, otherwise they undergo 6 stages of transmigration of souls. Saints and ghosts are product of human being's thinking, not destined by heaven.
