THIRD VISIT TO THE PRISON OF HEART-WRENCHING
Narrated by JiGong: At the beginning of 7th Moon, the Gates of Hades are opened wide for the souls of departed to visit Earth to enjoy themselves. This is why 7th month is often called "ghost month". It is advisable human should be more careful going outside the house, especially at night time.
Narrated by Yang Sheng: Many souls are rushing to get out through the open door (side door), their faces are so cheerful and happy to breathe the fresh air outside.
Narrated by JiGong: Only the souls of "common people" allowed to set free. "Common people" - when they alive, they were more or less average, not earn merit nor sinful.
Prison Guard: Sinful souls not allowed to go out and still undergo punishments.
Case of a widow
Middle-age. Wife died and begin of thinking to marry again. Saw a young girl and rape the girl.
Case of a taxi driver

Life span cut short by 10 years. After this prison, will be sent to Avicii prison (forever).

SECOND VISIT TO THE PRISON OF HEART-WRENCHING
Narrated by JiGong: In this world there are people who are not capable of achieving any meritorious deeds or attaining any success in anything, yet they see others progress or achieve fame, they become jealous. To hide their own weakness of failure, they criticizing and finding fault on others' achievement. They also like to run down religious beliefs of others. When such people die, their souls will be sent to the Prison of Heart-Wrenching, to extract their dirty hearts for being jealous and bad mouthing religious of success of others, for purification.
Narrated by Prison Guard: The heart of a person is under direct control of oneself. The gouging heart punishment is so terrible that there is no other suffering to compare with. The injured heart can cause fright to the six roots (ear, nose, eyes, body, tongue, mouth).
Case of government officer
Had become jealous when seeing fellow government officers earn promotion where he didn't. He feels immediate superior treated him unfairly. He begin revenge by telling untrue stories about his colleagues.
JiGong advise: Human beings must understand they should never have jealous heart. Being jealous heart had destroyed close relationship of society where one acted in a way detrimental to public welfare.
Case of ardent believer of Buddhism
Had read a lot of literature of Buddhism. Had look upon people of other religions as heretics and despised them. Other religions was of lower order, far beneath of Buddhism and after that, they had no chance of going to Paradise.
King Sen Luo had scolded him for not have a heart for others and yet belittle other religions. Not understand laws of Buddhism stand for the equality of all religions. If any religion teaches morality and discourages evil deeds, then that is a true and proper religion. Laws of buddhism are boundless, so are other religions.
Case of planchette handler of certain temple
When temple management did not give me due respect and consideration, he began to question of his sincerity. He told management that planchette writing was fake and directly under control of handlers, therefore they should not believe in deities. The management then stop then lost faith and stop frequenting the temple.
JiGong: Planchette writing represent deities' communication and nothing bad should be spoken about it. The main and most important purpose of planchette writing is to teach people to do good and lead an ascetic life. Therefore, to belittle planchette writing is insulting to the deities and is great sin.

VISIT TO THE PRISON OF HEART-WRENCHING
Prologue: The Chinese culture and its traditional morality were originally the result of the synthesis of the vital force of heaven and earth. From thence, they always remain new and exist indefinitely through the ages. Nowadays, people are more inclined to materialism. They adore nothing but material welfare. They deny the intrinsic value of their own culture and totally submit to the material civilization of the Occident. Their excessive veneration with regard to foreigners renders them ungrateful to the extent they forget their ancestors and their race. They weaken themselves and bring shame to the next generation. Still worse, with the rapid progress of science and technology, these people pride themselves for having daunted nature and outdone God himself. They never realize that a single tidal wave suffices to eliminate every living creature with their inventions. Even if he is well-equipped with his science and technique, man is simply a small boat drifting on the immensity of an ocean. His pretention to excel God and destroy the great nature with his science and technology will necessarily lead him some day to bear the terrific catastrophes of heaven. The man who considers himself free from the laws of nature often behaves immorally. It is therefore desirable that every person of generous and virtuous character considers carefully before making any commitment.
Gouging Heart Prison (Heart Wrenching Prison)
Cries of great grief. Sorrowful screaming of the souls. The guards are splitting open the chests of the souls and gouging out the hearts, exactly like animal slaughter house where they cut open the stomach of pigs and extract the hearts and intestines.
The hearts of such souls had become so evil that the guards have no alternative but to gouge out these evil hearts and cure/cleanse them.
A case of a learned man
Had read lots of books, went to university, had interested in current events and influenced by foreign civilization and culture. A Christian. Despise parents who continue worship idols, old fashioned and were behind time whom pray to wooden figures and were superstitious. Had try to converting parents and told the parents to stop worshipping to wooden figures but fail. Thus, become angry and threw ancestral tablets to the ground.
Narrated King Sen Luo (for that soul):
It is not an offence to believe in any religion and to be converted; but in your case, you threw away ancestral tablets which action is totally unpardonable. In addition, when you went preaching, did you think about 'drinking the water and giving a thought to the fountain which supplied the water?' Your preacher told you not to worship wooden figures but you never understand the truth. The wooden cross, the bible and the preacher are all like wooden figures; why did you worship them? People say 'clear off wooden figures' - this means you should look through the mask of humanity and must not be greedy for the pleasures of the flesh but must aim at the filing of empty spiritual life with worthwhile undertakings and actions. "Clearing off wooden figures' also means respect spiritual faith for eternal life. You misunderstood the true meaning and thereby destroyed the ancestral tablets thus destroying the morality of your ancestors. I ask you; where did your body come from and what was your surname? All these were given by your ancestors. Heaven is 'great God' and ancestors are "small God". You forgot your origin and cheated your ancestors thereby going against Maker's heart, that's why God did not bring you to Heaven and therefore you dropped into this Prison.
Narrated by JiGong.
Religious faith teaches man the way to regenerate. By no means should he accuse or criticize the faith of other people, pretending his is true and unique. That’s the law of God. By pretending that one’s religion is authentic whereas the others’ are false, one sows discord. Once the feelings of mercy and fraternity are lost, people deviate from the straight path. If it is possible that such lopsided people manage to obtain success in the Way, the deities themselves will be in disharmony, at odds, in dispute, and paradise will become a battlefield instead of a kingdom of felicity.

Everywhere one can see deceit being the order of the day. Restaurants, barber shops, night clubs all make use of girls to induce men to patronise them. Officers from Hades constantly visit Earth to record instances of breach of morality and there is no end of such records. Also, there are places where people visit to satisfy their carnal desires e.g. dance halls, houses of pleasure etc, where joy will be followed by sorrow. Human beings advised not to resort to earn money through prostitution otherwise the sins are so great that they cannot be repaid even in 3 generations.
