Intarcalary 8th Moon 6th Day(29th September 1976)

Ji-Gong:The time has now come for us to tour the Under-world
again.Yang Sheng.please be prepared to go.

Mr.Yang:Yes,Master,I am ready;let us proceed...

Ji-Gong:We have now arrived;quickly get down of the lotus
flower platform.

Mr.Yang:Where is this place that we have arrived? I see such
a big crowd here.The soldiers of Hell hold so many people in
custody,ushering them to the pavilion.

Ji-Gong:This place is called the Magic Mirror Pavilion.When
these 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 realise 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.Let us follow and see the
Magic Mirror.

Mr.Yang:Very well,we will go and see for ourselves.

General:Welcome Ji-Gong and Yang Sheng of Sheng Xian Tang
for coming here to visit us.

Ji-Gong:Thank you.We have received the Order from the
Jade Emperor[] to visit Hades so that we can write a book
about our visits to the Under-world for human beings to read
so that they can do good deeds.We have therefore come here
today and I would request you,respected General,to kindly
show Yang Sheng here,about the Pavilion.

Mr.Yang:Dear Master,you must accompany me because I am afraid
to,go alone in this place.

Ji-Gong:Very well,we will follow the General to the Pavilion
...Stand aside and see for yourself.

Mr.Yang:Oh! I see an old man being brought in front of the
Magic Mirror.On the Mirror appears a young man climbing up a
wall of a house and opening a window,jump into a room where
a middle-aged man and a woman are sleeping.The young man
opens a trunk and cupboard searching for something.The man
wakes up and shouts.The young man draws a knife and stabs
the man who cries "ahyoh" and blood flows out.I am afraid to
continue seeing this incident.

General:Do not be afraid.This is the mystery of the
Magic Mirror.This old man you see in front of the Mirror,
when he was alive and young,went to a house to steal
something,but when discovered by the owner,the young man
stabbed the owner.Now that the old man is dead his soul is
brought here for the Magic Mirror to reflect each and
everyone of his evil deeds on Earth.

Mr.Yang:This is very wonderful.How does the Magic Mirror work
so mysteriously?

Ji-Gong:This Magic Mirror has the combined supernatural
powers of Heaven and Earth and can reproduce every deed a
person had done when alive on Earth.In fact it is not the
mysterious working of the Magic Mirror but the recordings of
the individual's inner soul.

*A human being,from birth to death,knows through his inner
soul every good or evil deed he does because he has his own
intelligence and this is like a camera whose lens have
snapped up everything he has done.This is called the
Heart Mirror.Although many persons quietly do a lot of evil
deeds without the knowledge of others,they themselves are
aware of what they have done.The movements of hands and feet
and all other actions are directed by the heart.All deeds,
whether good or evil are recorded mere and everyone has a
guardian angel called San Shi Shen[] who is in charge of
these recordings..When a person dies,and his soul is brought
in front of me Magic Mirror.there is a communicating effect
between the heart(inner soul) and the Magic Mirror by meas of
the supernatural power generated by Heaven and Earth.The
effect is reflected by the Magic Mirror and every deed done
by the person when alive is shown.

Mr.Yang:Oh,and so the Magic Mirror serves on purpose when
the soul of a good person is brought here?

General:There is no need for the soul of a good person to
come here.Look at the board which lists those souls which
appear before the Magic Mirror are people who had done evil
during their lifetime.If a good person dies,his supernatural
inner soul is very bright and when his soul appears before
the Magic Mirror there is no reflection at all because the
heart is very pure and so will not cast any shadow whatsoever.
Such a person is considered virtuous and the soul is either
conducted to Heaven or directed to the various Tribunals to
assess his merits or demerits.It is not necessary for him to
come here.

Mr.Yang:I see that the soldiers of Hell are trying to bring
the soul of a young woman before the Magic Mirror but she
cries and refuses to follow.What a pity.The soldiers of Hell
do not seem to have any pity for this young woman.They use
iron fork to force her to go before the Magic Mirror...Oh!
Now I see so many men moving about in a house with red lantern
and green lights like a brothel we have on Earth.

General:This is in fact a replica of an Earthly brothel.
You will soon see.

Mr.Yang:Inside every room I can hear the voices of women
talking and singing and making merry.Dear Master,I don't want
to see such things.Let us return.

Ji-Gong:You see this and you have a feeling of shame.You
still have sense of propriety,morality.modesty and a sense
of shame.No wonder you are a devout disciple of Guan En Zhu[]
an ascetic/sage.The women inside were prostitutes.They were
indecent and vulgar in speech and subsequently by nature of
their occupation,contacted veneral diseases and eventually
died.Their souls are sent here for punishment.I would
therefore advise women of the Earth to have self-respect and
do not do shameful things.They should not allow their two
arms to be used as pillows by thousands of men,such a woman
is not worth a cent.To be a prostitute is to commit boundless
and unforgivable sins.In the case of men,frequenting
prostitutes is a sin just as great.I hope that men and women
will not indulge in prostitution.Yang Sheng,we must prepare
to return.

General:Don't you gentlemen want to see some more?

Mr.Yang:I am afraid to see some more.I am still a human being
of the Earth and I cannot bear to see more of these
sufferings.Now let us return home.

Ji-Gong:Thank you very much.General for conducting us round.
We will now return to Earth.Next time we will visit
Bu Jing Sue[]Yang Sheng,prepare to return.Quickly get up on
the lotus platform.

Mr.Yang:Wa! I am very frightened.

Ji-Gong:What is there to be afraid;if you are a good person
you need not have to come here and suffer.Sheng Xian Tang is
here,quickly get down.Yang Sheng,your soul will return to
your body.
