HAPPY HEART POND.
清心池

REGISTRATION OFFICE.
交薄厅/ 阴阳界


A book of Life & Birth record contains your name and your lifespan on earth. If your lifespan is not due, you will be returned to the mortal world. This is why some people have ‘after life’ experiences (and can remember those brilliant colors not seen on earth).

Registration Office (Ying Yang Jie) is sorting out place of Ying and Yang where the souls of all dead human beings must come first to report their arrival. When a human being dies his earthly record of actions and deeds is transferred to the Under-world Registration Office for immediate inspection. If, during his lifetime on Earth he did more good deeds than evil deeds his soul would be sent to an Officer-in-charge of the good souls department to tour Heaven, but if he did more evil deeds than good deeds his soul would be taken care of by an Officer-in-charge of the evil souls department to undergo appropriate punishment at Hell’s First Stage.

1st Tribunal : Qin Guan Wang
第一殿 : 秦广王叙谈

When a human passed over, his/her soul is first sent to Ying Yang Jie to report. The soldiers of Hell then bring his soul to this Tribunal with his/her record file to be placed in the cabinet for me to investigate if he had done more good deeds or more bad deeds, his soul will be conducted to visit the other Tribunals, or be brought to more heavenly places for ascetic practices. But if it is found that he had committed more evil deeds the soldiers of Hell will bring him/her soul to the Second Tribunal to be tried. If he had done many evil deeds he will be brought to “Nie Jing Tai”, (a reflecting mirror which shows all the evil deeds that one had done on Earth – as a valid proof to him, of his evil deeds).

Magic Mirror: 其原形

When people were alive, they did many evil deeds and had no morality. Now that they are dead, their souls have to report to the First Tribunal; then they are brought here to this Magic Mirror Pavilion. What each and everyone did on Earth will be reflected on the Magic Mirror for the soul to see for himself what evil deeds he had committed. The soul will then realize that he had broken the Law of Hades by having done evil. All the souls on seeing the Magic Mirror will be much terrified and ashamed.

2nd Tribunal : Chu Jiang Wang
第二殿 : 楚江王

This Second Tribunal is in fact the real Tribunal for punishing souls. In the First Tribunal the merits and de-merits of the souls have already been assessed but some souls prevaricated (lied) and would not admit their sins. So they are brought here and their records are again shown to them. Chu Jiang Wang have the authority to send such souls either to the 16th Division in Hades or to any other new Division to be punished for their sins on Earth. Like on Earth, new inventions have been discovered, so likewise in Hades, new Divisions for punishing sinful souls.




The Frozen Pond:

3rd Tribunal : Song Di Wang
第三殿 : 宋帝王

This is the meeting place of the souls of dead righteous human beings who, when living, had done good deeds and ascetic practices and therefore when they died, their souls come here to drink tea, discuss general matters etc, not like the souls of the sinners who have to undergo sufferings in the various prisons of Hades. Souls here move about as they like, no restrictions or hindrances whatsoever. Therefore human beings must understand that if they do not do good deeds and carry out ascetic practices they will not be accepted here and will not be allowed freedom of movement but will be sent to the various prisons of Hades to undergo punishment for their past misdeeds and sins. Further, the souls of sinners will have to undergo punishment in the prison of Hades, their hands and legs being bound by iron chains, necks being locked by stocks and pillories and bodies being whipped and poked by forks.

THE PRISON OF SCOOPED EYES : 挖眼小地狱
Well, when a sinful soul comes here, he is first of all strapped to a wooden post; then both eyes are scooped out one after the other, thus making the soul scream loudly and subsequently faint. The scooping process is carried out three times daily on each soul. After the first scooping, the eyeballs are retrieved and fitted back into the eye-sockets, then washed with magic water; this will have the effect of reviving the soul from fainting. Sometime later in the day, the second process of scooping and reviving is gone through and then the third process. This punishment is to make the soul realize the extent of bitter suffering.

4th Tribunal : WU GUAN WANG
第四殿 : 五官王

There are further 16 small prisons in the 4th Tribunal. Because human beings on Earth commit new types of sins, therefore in Hades, new types of prisons are created to handle them. When sinful human beings die, their souls are sent to Hades where they have to pass through Gui Men Guan after which they have to appear before the Magic Mirror to prove their sins to decide which Tribunal they have to sent to be sentenced accordingly to what kind of sin they had committed.




Punishment in the 4th Tribunal:

5th Tribunal : Yang Lo Wang
第五殿 : 森罗王

All souls who come to the Fifth Tribunal, must first go to Wang Xiang Tai to see what their families on Earth are doing because they still have a blind love for their families and naturally want to know how they are getting on. Therefore, all souls irrespective of Whether sinful or not, want to see for themselves what it is going on at home after they have died.



The Fire Pillar:

6th Tribunal : BIAN CHENG WANG
游第六殿 : 卞城王

Sixth Tribunal which is also called ‘Loud Shrieking Prison’ because the suffering of the souls who are sent here are very much worse than the suffering of those who are sent to the Fifth Tribunal, thus earning the name ‘Loud Shrieking Prison’. Inside this main Prison are 16 smaller prisons and so the souls of those human beings who committed grave sins and lack morality are sent here where they have to undergo much suffering and punishment

7th Tribunal : Tai San Wang
第七殿 : 泰山王

The most important Prison here is the Prison of Red Hot Bricks and there are also 16 small Prisons. When sinful souls are sent here, they’ll be judged with impartiality – there is no question of gratitude or pity.
These Prison is specially for punishing the following types of sinners: -
1. Those who over-aspire for fame and gain, with the sole aim of enriching themselves
2. Those who are more inclined towards the opposite sex but are more heartless and unhelpful to those of their own sex.
3. Those who exploit or take undue advantage of the misfortune of others
4. Those who are hot-tempered and often curse Heaven and Earth.
5. Opportunists who use stealthily means for their own selfish ends and benefits.

8th Tribunal : Dou Shi Wang
第八殿 : 都市王

This Tribunals judge the leftover sins of souls not dealt with by the 1st up to the 7th Tribunals. Inside this Tribunal is a large Prison which is very hot and is known as the Hot Prison and, in addition, there are 16 smaller Prisons. Human beings are advised to reform their duties diligently and maintain self-restraint. The principles of human conduct and the ways of Heaven will make one understand the true source of birth and subsequent destination after death, the awareness of which prevents one’s soul from being sent to this Tribunal for punishment and eternal suffering, because of the various transmigration’s of the soul.

9th Tribunal : Ping Deng Wang
第九殿 : 平等王

All souls (sinful souls) receive punishment starting from the 1st Tribunal right up to the 8th Tribunal according to the nature and severity of their sins but there are others whose sins are much greater – such more sinful souls are sent to this tribunal to be judged with impartiality. If, after due consideration, and if the sin is not too great or serious, the soul will be sent to the 10th Tribunal to await rebirth. This Tribunal king deal with sinful souls impartially, that is why he is named Ping Deng Wang.

This Tribunal has a distinctive place, namely, “ A-Bi Diyu”, which have 16 other
small Prisons. There are 18 levels descending to A-Bi Diyu which is in the centre of Hell. The darkness is so intense that the out-stretched fingers of the hand cannot be seen.

Meng Po Ting / 孟婆亭

This place ‘Meng Po Ting’ is under the charge of deity Meng Po duly authorized by Yu Di. Any soul who is due to be reborn, must first come to this place to drink the tea “Ou Wang Tang”. If he does not drink this Ou Wang Tang and is reborn, he will be able to remember the happenings of his previous life and association with other people still living and can cause trouble and embarrassment to others thereby upsetting the peace. This tea Ou Wang Tang tastes sweet, sour, acrid, bitter and saltish, which after being drunk, makes a soul forget north, south, east, west and becomes muddled, making him walk aimlessly towards Zhuan Lun Tai.
