JOURNEY NO 27 - 23rd April 1977
Touring the Prison of Poisonous Bees
JiGong: The life of a devout ascetic practitioner requires great self-denial and self-sacrifice. If one is in earnest surely one will succeed. There are numerous temples, shrines and places of worship throughout the length and breadth of the land with signboards centrally displayed. These places of worship exhort human beings to do good deeds and anyone entering them should feel as if entering earthly paradise. But, nowadays, many people use the names of Deities, Sages and religious personages for their own material gains, e.g.; some make statues of Sages, etc, to sell to tourists. Others use the good name of temples, shrines and places of worship to hoodwink well-intentioned women. These malpractices damage and abuse the propriety of the Sages and such people, by indirectly deceiving the innocent ones, have committed great sins. The laws of Hades are very strict and severe punishment will be imposed on such evil doers. Today I will bring Yang Sheng to tour Hades so that he can, through his observation there, return and write the Book to tell human beings to walk the right path. Yang Sheng; get ready to climb up to the lotus flower platform.
Yang Sheng: I obey your orders, dear Master; I am safely seated on the lotus flower platform. I don’t know what part of Hades we are going this time.
JiGong: We are going to visit the Prison of Poisonous Bees. Close your eyes quickly and be prepared for the trip.
Yang Sheng: I have closed my eyes. Dear Master, we can start now.
JiGong: We have arrived; get out.
Yang Sheng: oh, the Prison of Poisonous Bees is right in front of us. The soldiers of Hades are directing plenty of souls to the Prison and the soldiers are hammering the souls and they are crying loudly. Hearing these loud crying cause a feeling of sadness inside me. I don’t know why they are being brought here.
JiGong: Everyone of these souls had made use of good name of the Sages and Deities for their own material gains on Earth. They made a lot of money and enjoyed themselves very much when they were living, but now that they are dead, they have to undergo punishment in Hades. To understand the situation better, we have to enter the Prison itself to observe. Go and pay your respects quickly.
Yang Sheng: Officer and General, I am Yang Sheng a medium of Sheng Xian Tang. I have received an Order to accompany JiGong to tour Hades so that on returning to Earth we can write a Book on what we have seen, for human beings to read. Would you kindly help us in our mission?
Officer: That’s right; don’t stand on ceremony. This place is called “Prison of Poisonous Bees” and is under the charge of the Fourth Tribunal and is somewhat a practically new institution to deal with sinful souls and to punish them. Please follow me to see what goes on inside.
Yang Sheng: Thank you very much. Ah! Dear Master, I am afraid to enter because of the great number of bees, everyone of them is as big as the beetle, black with big heads. They sting on the souls thus causing them to cry, shriek and groan in pain. There is totally no way to avoid the bees or to escape – all crowding to the corners of the walls. A few bees are flying towards us; I am very much afraid, let us run away. These tiger-head bees are very poisonous and will certainly cause death.
JiGong: Why all this fuss? Why are you so fearful? Each and everyone of these bees has spirituality – they do not sting as and when they feel like stinging but they sting only those who are sinful, exactly the same as flies and mosquitoes do not invade places which are clean but only those places which are dirty and filthy. The reason why some of these poisonous bees fly towards us is because they want to welcome us.
Yang Sheng: This is rather odd. It’s like firing big crackers to welcome us in a way.
Officer: Yes, please do not be afraid. If indeed these poisonous bees choose to sting us, all of us would have run away by now. These bees have divine spirit and they will punish only those who used the good name of the Deities and Saints, etc, to get quick money and those who prey on women’s simplicity for a living. If any sinful soul in this Prison tries to escape, all these bees will go after him and sting him the more. Just see for yourself, everyone of the souls has scars on the body, and the head is swollen. When the poison sting takes effect, tears drip from the eyes and the souls become restless, jumping about all the time.
Yang Sheng: This punishment is so very cruel and all the souls rushing about within this small Prison which has no extra doors to escape. Can I ask Officer for what sins are they sent here to be punished?
Officer: I will summon a couple of the souls for them to tell you their story.
JiGong: Very well; in fact most Officers in Hades know that we are here to write the Book and they had been most co-operative. Will you, therefore, also assist us by affording us the necessary facilities?
Officer: Don’t say that; it is our duty to assist as best we can. I will now release a couple of sinful souls so that Yang Sheng can have first hand information.
Yang Sheng: Can I ask this Mister for what sins you committed on Earth that caused your soul to be sent here to suffer this type of punishment?
Soul: To talk about it, I feel very ashamed. When I was living in Western Taiwan, I was a medium of a certain temple. I was one of the handlers of the planchette board for a number of years. Later, I was promoted to be the number two of the temple. At one time, through planchette writing, my temple published a Book telling people that they should do good deeds, for free distribution. I was very energetic and went around collecting money from well-wishers throughout the land for the purpose of printing and distributing the book. Because of my “gift of the gap” within just over two months, I was able to collect $300,000 for the book. It so happened that at that time, I was in financial difficulties – my creditors were pressing for early settlement. I did not know what to do. The collection of $300,000 was still with me, so what could I do with so much money staring at me in the face? I had to do something to save myself. I paid $200,000 to the temple to publish the book and kept the balance of $102,456 for myself. After settling with my creditors, there was still some balance which I retained for my personal use. All these “below the counter” transactions were not known to others. In due course, my conscience pricked me and I felt much ashamed, although at the numerous planchette sessions the Deities never mentioned anything about my shameful actions. Three years ago, I suffered from a serious stomach disease and subsequently died. The Ox-head-horse-faced soldiers of Hades brought my soul to Hades.
The Deities scolded me loudly, “Although you had led a sinful life when you were living, now that you are dead, you still have not awakened to realize your past wrong-doings. I did not disclose to you (and others) your secret actions about your financial manipulations during the various planchette sessions because we Deities, through the medium of planchette writing, will only always teach human beings the correct path of doing good and will never bring out any wrong-doing of a person. I did not want to bring out your specific bad behavior but it was my intention that everybody through the planchette writing teachings will realize and turn to doing good. You, yourself had read so many good books and tracts and yet you did not follow the advices given, in them. Therefore you must now suffer the punishment that is proper to you”.
The soldiers of Hades then brought me before the Magic Mirror which reflected every deed and action I made when I was alive, including my mishandling of the temple’s collections money – not a bit was left out. When I saw this, it pained my heart terribly and caused my gall to jump. Then I was handed over to the Fourth Tribunal for Wu Guan Wang to sentence me. I was sentenced to this Prison of Poisonous Bees for a period of 28 years. After serving this term, I will be sent to the Fifth Tribunal for another sentence. Now, everyday, I am being stung by the Bees all over my body which is very painful and causing swelling. When these poisonous bees see me, they come directly for me but in this Prison there is no place to escape to. I repent very much but too late. When I was living, I was a benefactor of people while I was attached to the temple but unfortunately I did not heed the warnings of the Deities. Because I made one silly mistake, on account of money, I have now to undergo this punishment. I sincerely hope that all temple mediums will carry out their duties very properly and will not make a single mistake or wrong-doing. One can bluff the eyes of others but not the eyes of Heaven. I greatly repent for my past actions and I now wish to apologise to the Deities and my friends in the temple. I am very much ashamed for my past misdeeds.
Officer: When you alive, you were more or less a disciple of the Deities and Sages when performing temple work but you failed to follow their good teachings although you knew very well what was good and what was bad. You therefore had offended the Deities in Heaven as well as the many people who trusted you and contributed generously towards the expenses for publishing the book. Those who make offerings either in kind or in money, out of the sincerity of their hearts to temples, etc, will reap the benefits, although some priests and others who receive the offerings may use such well-meaning offerings for other purposes. Therefore, if an offering is given whole heartedly the benefits will always go to the giver, those who worship money will constantly have evil thoughts which will follow and shadow them always. Those who are involved in collecting money for religious purpose must account for every cent collected. I hope that human beings will take heed of this.
JiGong: People who spoil the good name of temples and places of worship have committed grave sins and the soldiers of Hades will never forgive them. I want to let human beings know that ascetic practitioners must follow the right rules of ascetic practice in every detail. Otherwise, when they die, they will have to undergo great sufferings in the various Prisons of Hades; also they will have to pass through the four types of reincarnations viz; 1] worm, 2] fish, 3] fowl, and 4] animal. Therefore do not be a hypocrite. Time is running short Yang Sheng, prepare to return. Thank you, Officer.
Yang Sheng: Thank you, Officer and General, for giving me so much assistance. Because we have limited time, we have to return now.
Officer: All Generals, line up and escort our honor guests out. Next time, do come again; you are always welcome.
Yang Sheng: I am safely seated; dear Master, we can start.
JiGong: We have arrived at Sheng Xian Tang. Yang Sheng, get down. Soul, return to your body.

JOURNEY NO 28 - 6th May 1977
Second Tour of Prison of Poisonous Bees
JiGong: When Deities visit Earth their intention is to recruit suitable disciples for the furtherance of ascetic practices so as to cultivate the divine element within oneself to revert to the original condition at the beginning of time, so that eventually, human beings can attain future bliss towards becoming a Deity, Saint or Sage. Ascetic practitioners should consider themselves very lucky to be able to receive the divine instructions from Deities and must put what they have learnt into practice; but there are quite a number of them who, instead of following the right path to Paradise use the good name of the Deities to swindle and bluff innocent and God-fearing women. Such people have committed great sins. It does not matter what religion an ascetic practitioner embraces but he must diligently follow the instructions dictated by his chosen religion. Yang Sheng, today we will tour Hades again. So, step on the lotus flower platform quickly.
Yang Sheng: I am securely seated, which part of Hades are we visiting today?
JiGong: We will re-visit the Prison of Poisonous Bees. Quickly close your eyes… We have arrived, get out.
Officer: Welcome to both of you, JiGong and Yang Sheng; we are very pleased to see you again.
JiGong: Nowadays there are many people who use the good name of Deities to get money, especially from ignorant women, thus spoiling the splendid and solemn respect due to Deities. Therefore, we have come again to this place to investigate further other aspects of the pretence so that we can include factual stories in our Book.
Officer: Very well; please follow me inside and I will summon a few sinful souls to tell Yang Sheng their stories.
Yang Sheng: Thank you very much Officer. There are so many poisonous bees flying about as if the sky is covered black by them and stinging on the sinful souls until the bodies become swollen and the eyes seem to be swimming in their sockets on the head.
Officer: Not only the bodies get swollen and the heads go swimming but the sinful souls will feel feverishly hot and will fear the cold because of the poison produced by the bees. General, quickly summon a couple of sinful souls so that they can tell their stories.
General: Yes, Sir… I have brought three sinful souls.
Officer: Here, sinful souls, listen very carefully. This is JiGong Huofo and this is Yang Sheng, who had received the Order to write the Book, Diyu Youji (Journeys to the Underworld) for human beings to read and learn thereby. I want all of you to tell your stories as to why you are sent here to be punished – remember to be truthful and don’t hide any facts.
Yang Sheng: Can I ask this Mister why you are suffering in this Prison?
1st Soul: I should not have committed the sin for which I am now being punished. When I was alive, I was one of the Elders of my village. When there was a proposal to build a temple in our village, I undertook to collect money from the villagers for the good cause. I was not very careful about the accounts and so I put aside a certain portion of the contributions for my own use. Not until I was dead, did I know that making use of part of the religious contributions for my own personal purpose was a very big sin for which I am now sentenced to this Prison to be punished. These poisonous bees have no pity for us and in my case, they sting me until my body is swollen. I would, therefore, advise human beings on Earth that they cannot play about with monetary contributions which are intended for religious purposes. They must be honest and straightforward in such dealings. Now that I am stung by these poisonous bees, this is truly my recompensation. I think in my lifetime I had not committed any other sin except this one only.
Officer: As a village Elder, it was your duty to help the villagers as best as you could but you helped them to help yourself. The erection of the temple was to provide a place for the villagers to worship the Deities but you took the opportunity to make money out of the good purpose. Really your sins cannot be forgiven. Second Soul, come up and tell your story quickly.
Yang Sheng: Can I ask you, holy man, why being of the religious order, instead of going to the Western Paradise, you are now thrust into this Prison?
2nd Soul: Amitabha! Sinful, Sinful. I was ordained as a priest at the age of 15 after having received the necessary Buddhist teachings and instructions but I had no respect or regard for the Buddhist culture. When pious people contributed money to the temple, I stole some which I privately set aside for my personal use – some money I used for the temple and some I used for myself. When I was employed to say prayers for the souls of the dead to get rid of the calamities, I did so anyhow, not following the prayer books in detail. The length of the prayers often depended upon the amount of money paid – more money, longer the prayers; less money, shorter the prayers. I was not too eager to say prayers for the poor, giving all sorts of excuses like having prior engagements, etc. In the case of wealthy patrons, I was very happy to be of service and worked very hard to recite the prayers. Because of my greed for money when I was living, at death, Buddha did not care for me and so I was sentenced to this Prison. This is why I am suffering greatly here.
Officer: Belonging to the holy order, you should have been as ascetic practitioner and should have improved your morality instead of which your canal thoughts never died, always craving for worldly gains. You worshipped money instead of worshipping Buddha – altogether different methods of worshipping. That is why you are suffering in this Prison.
JiGong: To become a follower of Buddha, one has to discard one’s natural-born name; that is why all monks are given the common surname “shi”. This is a very solemn practice. Once a person renounces the world and joins the monkhood, one should think differently, concentrating on ascetic practices and doing good, but in your case, you still had worldly intentions and inclinations, forsaking the Buddhist teachings. I must impress on some holy people that if they still stick fast to worldly pleasures and inclinations, they will have no chance whatsoever of entering the Western Paradise after death. Time is rather limited, Yang Sheng, we have to return and we will come again next time.
Yang Sheng: Thank you, Officer and General, for giving us so much assistance – we now have to return.
Officer: In case we have not entertained you sufficiently well, do please excuse us. Please come again.
JiGong: Yang Sheng, quickly step on the lotus flower platform.
Yang Sheng: I am safely seated, Master, we can proceed now.
JiGong: We have arrived at Sheng Xian Tang. Yang Sheng, get down. Soul, return to your body.
JOURNEY NO 29 - 20th May 1977
Third Tour of the Prison of Poisonous Bees
JiGong: Deities, through the services of mediums and planchette writing, aim at helping and sympathizing with the troubles of human beings; but some mediums outwardly say that they want to cultivate morality by helping people but actually they have some ulterior motive to get money. They do not cultivate morality at all – their misdeeds are regarded as very grave sins. There are some physiognomists who praise themselves by advertising the correctness of their interpretations and, like “iron mouths”- (wolves which bite and yet no bleeding), they fleece their customers of hard earned money thus spoiling the good reputation of the ancient physiognomist “Gui Gu Xian Shi”. When such people die, their souls will be severely punished in Hades after which they will be reborn as birds in lonely valleys chirping away all day through. Today we will tour Hades again. Yang Sheng, get ready and get up on the lotus flower platform.
Yang Sheng: Yes, Sir. The weather here is rather warm, I wonder if in Hades it will be cooler and more pleasant.
JiGong: In Hades the weather is so cold that even the hair on your head will stand up. Step on the lotus flower platform quickly and don’t waste anymore time.
Yang Sheng: Yes, yes, Master, we can start now….
JiGong: We have arrived, you can get down.
Officer: We extend to both of you a warm welcome for visiting us again.
Yang Sheng: We are here again to continue seeing what goes in this Prison of Poisonous Bees.
JiGong: There are many bad characters on Earth who spoil the good name of Saints and Deities; so that is why we come to this Prison again to obtain more stories of sinful souls for our Book.
Officer: Please follow me inside to have some rest first.
Yang Sheng: As we do not have much time, I think it is not necessary for us to rest.
Officer: If that is so, then I would invite JiGong and Yang Sheng to enter the Prison.
Yang Sheng: This Prison is full of Bees but instead of producing honey they inject poison into the bodies of sinful souls.
JiGong: That is what it should be. When on Earth these souls had so many sweet things, they now have to taste some bitterness in Hades.
Yang Sheng: These sinful souls after being stung, run about the whole place trying to escape but there is no place to go to.
JiGong: People generally say, “There are roads leading to Paradise, but they don’t want to take these roads; rather, they prefer to rush towards the Prison gates.”
Officer: Nowadays there are many abbots of temples who make use of the good name of Deities to get money and to entice innocent and ignorant women. Society disapproves of such practices because the names of the Deities are spoiled by such behavior. That is why the number of souls in this Prison is always on the increase. I am much in moan to see this situation. I will summon a few of the souls so that they can tell you the extent of their decadent morality when they were alive.
Yang Sheng: Thank you, Officer for assisting us.
Officer: I am duty bound to help you. Therefore there is no need to stand on ceremony. I have already asked the General to bring forward a couple of souls. Here, you two, this is Sheng Xian Tang’s Yang Sheng who is accompanying JiGong to Hades to get first-hand information for their Book; both of you will have to tell Yang Sheng truthfully why you are here.
1st Soul: When I was alive, I was a medium of “Zhong Tan Yuan Shuai Temple” Taiwan. At first the Deities borrowed my body as a medium and I was very successful in curing a lot of cases which the doctors or physicians could not tackle. These successes were mainly due to the effectiveness of the Deity Zhong Tan Yuan Shuai. At last, seeing that there were so many believers and devotees, even when Zhong Tan Yuan Shuai did not enter my body, I pretended to enter into a trance thereby bluffing the devotees who came to seek help, telling them that the devil had been disturbing them and had to be appeased. The devotees were told to buy much joss paper to burn, and to pay a few thousand dollars to the medium who would act and pray for them. Actually, the Deities did not come, neither did they ask for such things, but because the Deities did not come, I demanded such things instead. I made a lot of money in this way; with the ill-gotten money, I bought some big houses. When I died, my soul was brought by the soldier of Hades to the Fourth Tribunal where Wu Guan Wang scolded me, “You were the medium of Zhong Tan Yuan Shuai and being a medium, you should have regarded it your duty to help those who came to the temple for spiritual help. Instead, you used the good name of the Deity to get money from the poor devotees. That being so, the good work you had done as a medium was over-shadowed by your greed for money – that is why you are here”. When I was medium, I was not afraid of the slashes and wounds inflicted by the sacred sword but now the stings of the Bees cause me great pain and suffering. My repentance is too late now. I hope the existing living mediums will not deceive the Deities and devotees, like the bad example I had made.
JiGong: By selecting mediums to go into trance, the Deities want to help human beings and this is the tradition of Taoism. The fact that the Deities through mediums can cure sicknesses which doctors cannot cure, is due to the magnanimity of the Deities in Heaven. Those mediums who make money through bluffing the people are going against the wishes of Heaven. Using one’s life to become a medium is very meritorious and it is quite in order if the devotees choose to give donations out of their own free will but, to use the good offices and name of Deities to get money from believers is very unpardonable. According to the laws of the Earth, this is too bad, but in the eyes of the laws of Hades, it is even much worse.
Officer: 2nd Soul, it is now your turn to tell your sinful story to Yang Sheng.
2nd Soul: When I was alive, I practiced physiognomy and I was an adept in issuing amulets. In the evenings, I set up stall at the road side to cater for the wants of customers. Once when business was not too good, a young man came up and asked me to “read his face”. I saw my opportunity to make easy money and got very free with my tongue, telling him that from the look of his face, his fate was rather gloomy and to counteract, he had to spend money to get rid of the bad fate and I was able to assist by drawing an amulet for him for the purpose. This young man had absolute faith in my powers and after preparing the amulet, I demanded $1,500 for my services. Henceforth, I used this ruse to get money from trusting customers when an opportunity presented itself. When I died, Wu Guan Wang scolded me and said that although I had the ability to “read faces,” I had no morality and used my skill to get money from trusting people; he sentenced me to this Prison for 12 years. I am already here 3 years and have many more years of suffering to go through. My body being stung by the Bees, is swollen and painful. I now repent but it is already too late.
JiGong: When you were on Earth, you were very smart and also had the gift of the gap; was like the Bees which hurt more people but never did any good for them. Therefore, being sent to this Prison is good retribution. I wish to warn all physiognomists to walk the correct path and avoid the wrong path. Instead of looking at and studying the faces of the customers, those who look at the customers’ pockets will eventually have to be sent to this Prison to be punished. As time is running short, we will now have to return.
Yang Sheng: Can I ask Officer if it is a fact that those who damage the good name of Deities, when they die, their souls will have to be sent to this Prison.
Officer: It depends. Those who purposely entice, and some other special cases are sent to other Prisons. This Prison caters for one particular type of sin.
Yang Sheng: It is now time to return and so I must thank Officer and General for assisting us. We will have to say goodbye.
Officer: All of you, escort JiGong and Yang Sheng out.
JiGong: Thank you, Officer, we are leaving. Yang Sheng. Get ready to board the lotus flower platform quickly.
Yang Sheng: I am safely seated, dear Master, we can start…
JiGong: We have arrived at Sheng Xian Tang, get down. Soul, return to your body.

When these poisonous bees see me, they come directly for me but in this Prison there is no place to escape to. I repent very much but too late. When I was living, I was a benefactor of people while I was attached to the temple but unfortunately I did not heed the warnings of the Deities. Because I made one silly mistake, on account of money, I have now to undergo this punishment. I sincerely hope that all temple mediums will carry out their duties very properly and will not make a single mistake or wrong-doing. One can bluff the eyes of others but not the eyes of Heaven. I greatly repent for my past actions and I now wish to apologise to the Deities and my friends in the temple. I am very much ashamed for my past misdeeds.
Officer: When you alive, you were more or less a disciple of the Deities and Sages when performing temple work but you failed to follow their good teachings although you knew very well what was good and what was bad. You therefore had offended the Deities in Heaven as well as the many people who trusted you and contributed generously towards the expenses for publishing the book. Those who make offerings either in kind or in money, out of the sincerity of their hearts to temples, etc, will reap the benefits, although some priests and others who receive the offerings may use such well-meaning offerings for other purposes. Therefore, if an offering is given whole heartedly the benefits will always go to the giver, those who worship money will constantly have evil thoughts which will follow and shadow them always. Those who are involved in collecting money for religious purpose must account for every cent collected. I hope that human beings will take heed of this.
JiGong: People who spoil the good name of temples and places of worship have committed grave sins and the soldiers of Hades will never forgive them. I want to let human beings know that ascetic practitioners must follow the right rules of ascetic practice in every detail. Otherwise, when they die, they will have to undergo great sufferings in the various Prisons of Hades; also they will have to pass through the four types of reincarnations viz; 1] worm, 2] fish, 3] fowl, and 4] animal. Therefore do not be a hypocrite. Time is running short Yang Sheng, prepare to return. Thank you, Officer.
Yang Sheng: Thank you, Officer and General, for giving me so much assistance. Because we have limited time, we have to return now.
Officer: All Generals, line up and escort our honor guests out. Next time, do come again; you are always welcome.
Yang Sheng: I am safely seated; dear Master, we can start.
JiGong: We have arrived at Sheng Xian Tang. Yang Sheng, get down. Soul, return to your body.

JOURNEY NO 28 - 6th May 1977
Second Tour of Prison of Poisonous Bees
JiGong: When Deities visit Earth their intention is to recruit suitable disciples for the furtherance of ascetic practices so as to cultivate the divine element within oneself to revert to the original condition at the beginning of time, so that eventually, human beings can attain future bliss towards becoming a Deity, Saint or Sage. Ascetic practitioners should consider themselves very lucky to be able to receive the divine instructions from Deities and must put what they have learnt into practice; but there are quite a number of them who, instead of following the right path to Paradise use the good name of the Deities to swindle and bluff innocent and God-fearing women. Such people have committed great sins. It does not matter what religion an ascetic practitioner embraces but he must diligently follow the instructions dictated by his chosen religion. Yang Sheng, today we will tour Hades again. So, step on the lotus flower platform quickly.
Yang Sheng: I am securely seated, which part of Hades are we visiting today?
JiGong: We will re-visit the Prison of Poisonous Bees. Quickly close your eyes… We have arrived, get out.
Officer: Welcome to both of you, JiGong and Yang Sheng; we are very pleased to see you again.
JiGong: Nowadays there are many people who use the good name of Deities to get money, especially from ignorant women, thus spoiling the splendid and solemn respect due to Deities. Therefore, we have come again to this place to investigate further other aspects of the pretence so that we can include factual stories in our Book.
Officer: Very well; please follow me inside and I will summon a few sinful souls to tell Yang Sheng their stories.
Yang Sheng: Thank you very much Officer. There are so many poisonous bees flying about as if the sky is covered black by them and stinging on the sinful souls until the bodies become swollen and the eyes seem to be swimming in their sockets on the head.
Officer: Not only the bodies get swollen and the heads go swimming but the sinful souls will feel feverishly hot and will fear the cold because of the poison produced by the bees. General, quickly summon a couple of sinful souls so that they can tell their stories.
General: Yes, Sir… I have brought three sinful souls.
Officer: Here, sinful souls, listen very carefully. This is JiGong Huofo and this is Yang Sheng, who had received the Order to write the Book, Diyu Youji (Journeys to the Underworld) for human beings to read and learn thereby. I want all of you to tell your stories as to why you are sent here to be punished – remember to be truthful and don’t hide any facts.
Yang Sheng: Can I ask this Mister why you are suffering in this Prison?
1st Soul: I should not have committed the sin for which I am now being punished. When I was alive, I was one of the Elders of my village. When there was a proposal to build a temple in our village, I undertook to collect money from the villagers for the good cause. I was not very careful about the accounts and so I put aside a certain portion of the contributions for my own use. Not until I was dead, did I know that making use of part of the religious contributions for my own personal purpose was a very big sin for which I am now sentenced to this Prison to be punished. These poisonous bees have no pity for us and in my case, they sting me until my body is swollen. I would, therefore, advise human beings on Earth that they cannot play about with monetary contributions which are intended for religious purposes. They must be honest and straightforward in such dealings. Now that I am stung by these poisonous bees, this is truly my recompensation. I think in my lifetime I had not committed any other sin except this one only.
Officer: As a village Elder, it was your duty to help the villagers as best as you could but you helped them to help yourself. The erection of the temple was to provide a place for the villagers to worship the Deities but you took the opportunity to make money out of the good purpose. Really your sins cannot be forgiven. Second Soul, come up and tell your story quickly.
Yang Sheng: Can I ask you, holy man, why being of the religious order, instead of going to the Western Paradise, you are now thrust into this Prison?
2nd Soul: Amitabha! Sinful, Sinful. I was ordained as a priest at the age of 15 after having received the necessary Buddhist teachings and instructions but I had no respect or regard for the Buddhist culture. When pious people contributed money to the temple, I stole some which I privately set aside for my personal use – some money I used for the temple and some I used for myself. When I was employed to say prayers for the souls of the dead to get rid of the calamities, I did so anyhow, not following the prayer books in detail. The length of the prayers often depended upon the amount of money paid – more money, longer the prayers; less money, shorter the prayers. I was not too eager to say prayers for the poor, giving all sorts of excuses like having prior engagements, etc. In the case of wealthy patrons, I was very happy to be of service and worked very hard to recite the prayers. Because of my greed for money when I was living, at death, Buddha did not care for me and so I was sentenced to this Prison. This is why I am suffering greatly here.
Officer: Belonging to the holy order, you should have been as ascetic practitioner and should have improved your morality instead of which your canal thoughts never died, always craving for worldly gains. You worshipped money instead of worshipping Buddha – altogether different methods of worshipping. That is why you are suffering in this Prison.
JiGong: To become a follower of Buddha, one has to discard one’s natural-born name; that is why all monks are given the common surname “shi”. This is a very solemn practice. Once a person renounces the world and joins the monkhood, one should think differently, concentrating on ascetic practices and doing good, but in your case, you still had worldly intentions and inclinations, forsaking the Buddhist teachings. I must impress on some holy people that if they still stick fast to worldly pleasures and inclinations, they will have no chance whatsoever of entering the Western Paradise after death. Time is rather limited, Yang Sheng, we have to return and we will come again next time.
Yang Sheng: Thank you, Officer and General, for giving us so much assistance – we now have to return.
Officer: In case we have not entertained you sufficiently well, do please excuse us. Please come again.
JiGong: Yang Sheng, quickly step on the lotus flower platform.
Yang Sheng: I am safely seated, Master, we can proceed now.
JiGong: We have arrived at Sheng Xian Tang. Yang Sheng, get down. Soul, return to your body.
JOURNEY NO 29 - 20th May 1977
Third Tour of the Prison of Poisonous Bees
JiGong: Deities, through the services of mediums and planchette writing, aim at helping and sympathizing with the troubles of human beings; but some mediums outwardly say that they want to cultivate morality by helping people but actually they have some ulterior motive to get money. They do not cultivate morality at all – their misdeeds are regarded as very grave sins. There are some physiognomists who praise themselves by advertising the correctness of their interpretations and, like “iron mouths”- (wolves which bite and yet no bleeding), they fleece their customers of hard earned money thus spoiling the good reputation of the ancient physiognomist “Gui Gu Xian Shi”. When such people die, their souls will be severely punished in Hades after which they will be reborn as birds in lonely valleys chirping away all day through. Today we will tour Hades again. Yang Sheng, get ready and get up on the lotus flower platform.
Yang Sheng: Yes, Sir. The weather here is rather warm, I wonder if in Hades it will be cooler and more pleasant.
JiGong: In Hades the weather is so cold that even the hair on your head will stand up. Step on the lotus flower platform quickly and don’t waste anymore time.
Yang Sheng: Yes, yes, Master, we can start now….
JiGong: We have arrived, you can get down.
Officer: We extend to both of you a warm welcome for visiting us again.
Yang Sheng: We are here again to continue seeing what goes in this Prison of Poisonous Bees.
JiGong: There are many bad characters on Earth who spoil the good name of Saints and Deities; so that is why we come to this Prison again to obtain more stories of sinful souls for our Book.
Officer: Please follow me inside to have some rest first.
Yang Sheng: As we do not have much time, I think it is not necessary for us to rest.
Officer: If that is so, then I would invite JiGong and Yang Sheng to enter the Prison.
Yang Sheng: This Prison is full of Bees but instead of producing honey they inject poison into the bodies of sinful souls.
JiGong: That is what it should be. When on Earth these souls had so many sweet things, they now have to taste some bitterness in Hades.
Yang Sheng: These sinful souls after being stung, run about the whole place trying to escape but there is no place to go to.
JiGong: People generally say, “There are roads leading to Paradise, but they don’t want to take these roads; rather, they prefer to rush towards the Prison gates.”
Officer: Nowadays there are many abbots of temples who make use of the good name of Deities to get money and to entice innocent and ignorant women. Society disapproves of such practices because the names of the Deities are spoiled by such behavior. That is why the number of souls in this Prison is always on the increase. I am much in moan to see this situation. I will summon a few of the souls so that they can tell you the extent of their decadent morality when they were alive.
Yang Sheng: Thank you, Officer for assisting us.
Officer: I am duty bound to help you. Therefore there is no need to stand on ceremony. I have already asked the General to bring forward a couple of souls. Here, you two, this is Sheng Xian Tang’s Yang Sheng who is accompanying JiGong to Hades to get first-hand information for their Book; both of you will have to tell Yang Sheng truthfully why you are here.
1st Soul: When I was alive, I was a medium of “Zhong Tan Yuan Shuai Temple” Taiwan. At first the Deities borrowed my body as a medium and I was very successful in curing a lot of cases which the doctors or physicians could not tackle. These successes were mainly due to the effectiveness of the Deity Zhong Tan Yuan Shuai. At last, seeing that there were so many believers and devotees, even when Zhong Tan Yuan Shuai did not enter my body, I pretended to enter into a trance thereby bluffing the devotees who came to seek help, telling them that the devil had been disturbing them and had to be appeased. The devotees were told to buy much joss paper to burn, and to pay a few thousand dollars to the medium who would act and pray for them. Actually, the Deities did not come, neither did they ask for such things, but because the Deities did not come, I demanded such things instead. I made a lot of money in this way; with the ill-gotten money, I bought some big houses. When I died, my soul was brought by the soldier of Hades to the Fourth Tribunal where Wu Guan Wang scolded me, “You were the medium of Zhong Tan Yuan Shuai and being a medium, you should have regarded it your duty to help those who came to the temple for spiritual help. Instead, you used the good name of the Deity to get money from the poor devotees. That being so, the good work you had done as a medium was over-shadowed by your greed for money – that is why you are here”. When I was medium, I was not afraid of the slashes and wounds inflicted by the sacred sword but now the stings of the Bees cause me great pain and suffering. My repentance is too late now. I hope the existing living mediums will not deceive the Deities and devotees, like the bad example I had made.
JiGong: By selecting mediums to go into trance, the Deities want to help human beings and this is the tradition of Taoism. The fact that the Deities through mediums can cure sicknesses which doctors cannot cure, is due to the magnanimity of the Deities in Heaven. Those mediums who make money through bluffing the people are going against the wishes of Heaven. Using one’s life to become a medium is very meritorious and it is quite in order if the devotees choose to give donations out of their own free will but, to use the good offices and name of Deities to get money from believers is very unpardonable. According to the laws of the Earth, this is too bad, but in the eyes of the laws of Hades, it is even much worse.
Officer: 2nd Soul, it is now your turn to tell your sinful story to Yang Sheng.
2nd Soul: When I was alive, I practiced physiognomy and I was an adept in issuing amulets. In the evenings, I set up stall at the road side to cater for the wants of customers. Once when business was not too good, a young man came up and asked me to “read his face”. I saw my opportunity to make easy money and got very free with my tongue, telling him that from the look of his face, his fate was rather gloomy and to counteract, he had to spend money to get rid of the bad fate and I was able to assist by drawing an amulet for him for the purpose. This young man had absolute faith in my powers and after preparing the amulet, I demanded $1,500 for my services. Henceforth, I used this ruse to get money from trusting customers when an opportunity presented itself. When I died, Wu Guan Wang scolded me and said that although I had the ability to “read faces,” I had no morality and used my skill to get money from trusting people; he sentenced me to this Prison for 12 years. I am already here 3 years and have many more years of suffering to go through. My body being stung by the Bees, is swollen and painful. I now repent but it is already too late.
JiGong: When you were on Earth, you were very smart and also had the gift of the gap; was like the Bees which hurt more people but never did any good for them. Therefore, being sent to this Prison is good retribution. I wish to warn all physiognomists to walk the correct path and avoid the wrong path. Instead of looking at and studying the faces of the customers, those who look at the customers’ pockets will eventually have to be sent to this Prison to be punished. As time is running short, we will now have to return.
Yang Sheng: Can I ask Officer if it is a fact that those who damage the good name of Deities, when they die, their souls will have to be sent to this Prison.
Officer: It depends. Those who purposely entice, and some other special cases are sent to other Prisons. This Prison caters for one particular type of sin.
Yang Sheng: It is now time to return and so I must thank Officer and General for assisting us. We will have to say goodbye.
Officer: All of you, escort JiGong and Yang Sheng out.
JiGong: Thank you, Officer, we are leaving. Yang Sheng. Get ready to board the lotus flower platform quickly.
Yang Sheng: I am safely seated, dear Master, we can start…
JiGong: We have arrived at Sheng Xian Tang, get down. Soul, return to your body.
