TOURING FIFTH TRIBUNAL, SEEING WANG XIANG TAI AND PAYING RESPECTS TO KING YEN LUO

This time Deity JiGong is absent, Deity Yang Jian accompany Yang Sheng. Travelling with Black Dog instead of lotus.

Wang Xiang Tai - Platform for Vision of Native Place
For the souls to look back at Earth, to see what their families are doing after their deaths.

A case of a soul, cried after Wang Xiang Tai, as his family does not feel any sorrow for his death as he loved his family very much when alive.

One when alive never thought of ascetic practices and when dead, can't expect family members to offer prayers to release suffering. This is very high expectation because present day families do not believe in prayers and redemption of souls.

One should thought of ascetic practices for future redemption when alive.

A case of another soul, smiling after Wang Xiang Tai, as he saw his family praying to his tablet. He was kind hearted but not successful ascetic practitioner and realised if there is life there must be death. No regrets.

Third eye of Deity Yang Jian
A combination of heaven, earth and self. Great Power. Catch evil spirits on Earth.

THIRD TOUR OF PRISON OF POISONOUS BEES

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 have ulterior motive to get money. They do not cultivate morality and their misdeeds are regarded as grave sins.

There are some physiognomists who praise themselves by advertising the correctness of their interpretations, they fleece their customers of hard earned money. When such people die, their souls will be severely punished in Hades and reborn as birds in lonely valleys.

The bees instead of producing honey, they inject poison into the bodies of sinful souls. When on earth these souls had so many sweet things, they now have to taste some bitterness in Hades. When stung, run about the whole place trying to escape but there is no place to go.

A case of a medium of a temple

At first deities borrowed the body as a medium and successful in curing a lot of cases which doctors cannot solve.

Some cases when deity not enter into the body, the Medium pretended to enter into a trance and bluffing the devotees that devil had disturbing them and had to be appeased. The devotees told to buy joss paper and pay few thousand dollars for Medium to pray. With this practices, able to buy big houses.

A case of a physiognomy

Issuing amulets. Set up stall in the road side to cater the needs of customers.

Make easy money from a customer by telling the customer his fate is gloomy and to spend money to counter it. The physio able to assist by drawing an amulet for him.

Repeat this when opportunity arise.

SECOND TOUR OF PRISON OF POISONOUS BEES

When deities/gods visit Earth their intention is to recruit suitable disciples for continuance of ascetic practices and cultivate divine element within oneself to revert to original condition at beginning of time so that human beings can attain future bliss towards becoming Deity/Gods.

However, there are quite number of them who use good name of Deity/God to swindle and bluff innocent and God-fearing woman. Such people commit great sins. It doesn't matter what religion one practice/embrace but must diligently follow the instruction dictated by one chosen religion.

Attacked by bees
Bodies swollen, heads go swimming, feel feverishly hot and fear of cold due to poison by bees.

A case of Elder of the village
Proposal of building temple, had undertook money from villagers, however, put aside a portion of money for own use. Therefore, advice cannot play about with monetary contributions which are intended for religious purpose.

A case of Buddhist priest

Had ordained priesthood at the age of 15 but no respect or regard for the Buddhist culture. Had stole some of the money contributed by worshipers for personal use. Furthermore, perform different length of prayers according to money paid. Less money, shorter the prayers.

Not too eager to say prayers for the poor, giving all sorts of excuses like having prior engagements. In case of wealthy patrons, happy to service and work hard to recite prayers.

Advice:

1) should improve morality, eliminate carnal thoughts, discard craving for worldly gains, do not worship money
2) One when join monkhood, renounce the world and think differently, concentrating on ascetic practices and doing good.
