I am layman Buddhist/pagan.
The summary is based on what I perceive is 'important' in the book.
Conversation in between Deity JiGong, Yang Sheng and Prison Guard/Officer.
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.
TOURING THE SMALL PRISON FOR AMPUTATING LIMBS
Narrates by JiGong
If a person revives after his supposed death, the revival can be said to be 'life after death', but if a living person dies, then his death is a true death. Something gained is usually at the expense of something lost. This is result of transmigration. When two small children grow up together they tend to be good natured and angel like, but nowadays, grown ups or those who attain maturity with numerous sins they encounter and commit, will lead them ultimately to undergo 6 transmigration of souls. Therefore, spiritual people or ascetic practitioners will have to preserve their chastity, vigour and vitality and not associate with opposite sex, otherwise, with such association they will have to repay dearly for their carnal sins. How long is one's life span? Then why commit sins?
Prison of limbs amputation
Big field. Wailing voice. Sinful souls tied up and kneeling on the ground.
The guards chop off the left and right arms near the shoulders. The sinful souls shriek and fall down sprawling on the ground.
Then the guards chop off two legs - the ground covered with blood.
Offences committed
Harm and kill people.
Unfilial, disloyal, pirates and use their hands to kill others, use the pen to harm others, or use their leg to harm others.
Stealing - name, honor, property, opposite sex, life not through righteous means.
Short cuts to attain what they want.
