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 PRISON OF SPLASHING BOILING OIL
A distressing spectacle is displayed: in the temples and churches, the atmosphere is cheerless and dim. Artificial flowers with depressed outlooks, and the smell of alcohol, meat, and passionate desires have taken place a long time ago to slowly lead man to the marsh of crimes. This explains why hell is being overcrowded with damned souls. I hope that men will awaken themselves quickly.
Under Ninth Tribunal.
Crying. Great number of cauldrons lying about containing boiling oil very much like boiling oil for boiling twisted dough fritters or doughnuts. Underneath each cauldron, fierce fire can be seen. Guards from underworld busy pouring oil into cauldrons and also feeding the fires below.
Sinful souls are tied to poles as near as possible surrounding each cauldron. When the oil gets boiling hot, the guards from underworld throw cold water into the cauldrons thus making hot boiling oil splash on the naked bodies of sinful souls causing blisters to be formed on the skins. The sinful souls emit such painful shrieks.
A case of a writer
Intention to write decent books but not command good sale. Therefore, resort to 'yellow literature'/obscene books which tend to corrupt the minds of readers.
These books cause readers to have negative thinking thus making readers indulge in degradation to patronise in red light district, or to rape and murder.
A case of operating photo studio
Specialise in obscene photos which resulted in enormous sales thus making plenty of money.
Conclusion: Writers of obscene literature and books, photographers of obscene photos, manufacturers of aphrodisiacs, printers and publishers of obscene books and literature, book sellers and others dealing directly or indirectly with these merchandise, their sins are of equal magnitude and when their souls arrive to the Underworld after death, their punishment will be severe.
Of all vices, lewdness is the number one. The sinners cause much 'dirtiness' to the spirit of human beings; therefore their sins are very great warranting equally severe punishment.
