問：2018年12月20日，弟子魂體剛從黑繩地獄返回陽世，下午在家小憩時接到護法菩薩意念，閻王殿有聽審案讓我遊地府一趟。
閻王殿前，鬼差押了兩個罪靈跪在地上，男罪靈是2018年12月10日聽審案中為人好色的師長，女罪靈是2018年12月14日聽審案中犯邪淫打胎的年輕女子。
大閻王爺：『你為人師表理當知曉禮義廉恥，做出如此醜事，實在有辱聖賢教育。XXX，自己說一說在抱柱地獄的刑罰，讓後世之人明白不能隨意淫蕩，與未成年者（不管男女）苟且，地府是記錄為淫亂之罪。成年之人不守道德底線，隨意縱慾傷身，與多人淫亂，將來死後也是要下地獄懲戒。』
Enquiry:
On the 20th of December 2018, after my spirit returned to the living realm from the hell of black ropes that morning, in the afternoon while I was resting, I received a thought message from the Dharma protectors that the court of Yama invites me to go there to observe.
When I arrived, I saw two sinned spirits kneeling on the floor in front of Yama. The male sinned spirit was the lustful teacher who I saw at the hearing on the 10th of December 2018, while the female sinned spirit was the young girl who committed deeds of sexual misconduct and abortion which I saw at the hearing on the 14th of December 2018.
The senior Yama said, “As a teacher, do you have no shame? How could you do such shameless acts? Your behaviour is an embarrassment to the teachings of morals and virtues. Zhang XX, could you provide a testimonial of the punishment you experienced in the hell of embrace? So that people understand that they shouldn’t casually have sexual relationships, especially with underaged juniors (regardless if they’re male or female) and the courts will record every deed of sexual misconduct. If adults do act on one’s ethics and morals and treads over the line and let themselves become depraved and have sexual relationships with many people, when they die, they will receive a punishment in hell.”
『2018年12月10日童子遊地府聽審完後，鬼差就把我押去抱柱地獄。我跟著鬼差走了許久，到了一個山谷高地上，看到下面有很多銅柱，完全不能計算這個地獄有多少罪靈在裡面，男男女女，青年、中年、老年都有。
『山谷高地旁邊有一條羊腸小道是通向這個地獄，押送鬼差把我交給抱柱地獄的鬼差就離開了。我被鬼差強硬地把身上的衣服脫個精光，鬼差身高是我一個半人這麼高大，拖著我走，腳下的泥土是溫熱的，很燙。
“On the 10th of December 2018, after I had given my testimonial in front of our guest, the executioners took me to the hell of embrace. I followed the executioners and walked for a long time until I arrived at the top of a valley. Down below, I saw many iron pillars, and there was a sea of sinned spirits, male and female, young, mature and old.
Beside the tall valley, there was a narrow and winding path that leads to that hell. The escorting executioners passed me to the executioners in charge of the hell of embrace and left. I then had all of my clothing forcefully removed until I was naked. The size of the executioners was almost twice my size. They then dragged me, and as I followed, I could feel that the soil was getting hotter.
『踏入抱柱地獄沒一會兒我就不能控制自己的淫念。腦子不斷浮現自己犯邪淫的場景及對象，就在我起心動念想入非非時，整個人已經被鬼差拉去環抱一根熱得通紅的大銅柱，渾身通體被燙得哭爹喊娘，立即從幻念清醒過來。我的皮膚黏在銅柱上被燙得『嗞嗞』響，忍不住號啕大哭。等我頭腦欲念消失，銅柱立刻變得冰冷，整個人從銅柱上軟癱倒地，淚流不止，後悔莫及，不久就意識昏死過去。第二天，天明亮，魂體恢復成初進地獄時的形態，鬼差見我醒來，又把我拉去抱銅柱，我頭腦又起淫念，渾身通體被燙得叫苦連天。每一天都是這樣關在地獄裡懲戒……』（哭泣聲）
When I stepped into the hell of embrace, sexual thoughts began to be brought forth, and it was something I couldn’t control. My mind was constantly thinking about erotic scenes and images, and moments after I was immersed inside it, I found myself embracing a smouldering hot iron pillar, and the burning sensation and pain coursed throughout my whole body. I immediately came to my senses and cried. My skin was stuck to the iron pillar and was making a sizzling sound, and I couldn’t hold back my tears and my screams. When the sexual thoughts began to subside in my mind, the iron pillar gradually cooled down. My whole body flopped down on to the floor and kept on crying. It’s too late for regrets. Not long after, I became unconscious. Then the next day when dawn broke, my spiritual body recovered back to its original form when I first arrived at the hell of embrace, When the executioners saw me, they woke me up and dragged me back towards the iron pillars. Then my mind soon again thought of erotic scenes and images, and the punishment was repeated, where I was roasted again while embracing the iron pillar. Every day, I was punished the same way over and over again…” (He cried.)
大閻王爺：『XXX（女罪靈），妳未學佛前和多名男子淫亂，學佛後又在佛前許願不犯邪淫，清修。奈何妳遇到今世緣分，克制不住自己情感犯淫慾戒律，又打胎害命，所以本王判妳入寒冰地獄（邪淫）及鐵山地獄（打胎）懲戒。妳現在陰間現身說法讓陽世眾生知道邪淫及打胎果報，以警世人莫犯邪淫。萬惡淫為首。不管妳相不相信，地獄是真實存在的。』
Then the senior Yama said, “XXX (the female sinned spirit) before you learned Buddhism, you were promiscuous and had affairs with many men. After you learned Buddhism, you made a vow of celibacy and will never commit deeds of sexual misconduct. But then when you encountered your affinities of the present life, you couldn’t control your feelings and committed deeds of sexual misconduct and violated your vow and precepts. Additionally, you aborted and ruined a life. That’s why I sentenced you to be punished in the hell of biting cold for your sexual misconduct, and the hell of iron mountains for your abortion. Now in the realm of the dead, you may share your testimonial so that the sentient beings of the living realm will know about the consequences of committing deeds of sexual misconduct and abortion to warn others to abstain from it. Lust is the worst of all sins. Regardless of whether you believe it or not, hell truly exists.”
女罪靈：『我也是童子2018年12月14日聽審案後被鬼差先帶去寒冰地獄。我不記得是怎麼走到雪山入口處，只知道走了很久。在要進雪山前，衣服被鬼差強硬脫下來交給旁邊的女鬼差掌管，讓我將來出地獄穿回。我跟隨鬼差進入雪山地獄，這個地獄好像喜馬拉雅山脈這麼大。空氣冰冷刺骨，是接近零下三十多度。這裡什麼國家的罪靈都有，黃皮膚的亞裔人、金髮碧眼的外國人、膚色黯黑的黑種人……男男女女，有年輕人、中年人、少數老者。我和其他罪靈被拷上鐵鍊，前頭一個鬼差領著我們（鬼差有穿衣服）在雪山走。以為死後什麼感覺都沒有，原來和在世一樣會覺得寒冷。
The sinned spirit said, “I am also one of the people who after I had given my testimonial in front of our guest on the 14th of December 2018, the executioners took me to the hell of biting cold. I can’t recall how I travelled to the entrance of the snow mountains; all I remember was that I walked for a long time. Just before I entered the snow mountain, I was stripped naked forcefully, and my clothes were handed over to a female executioner to safe keep who will return it when I was released from that hell. I followed the executioners and entered into the hell of snow mountains. That hell was probably as big as the Himalaya mountains. The air was blistering cold, and it felt like minus 30 degrees Celsius. There were many sinned spirits from different nationalities in that hell; there were Asians, blonde westerners and black people. There were both men and women, the young, adults and a minority of elderly people. I and all the other sinned spirits were cuffed in iron chains, and we were led by an executioner (who wore clothes) in the front up the snow mountains. I thought that after death, I would lose all my senses. But I would still feel cold as if I was still alive.
『雪山太大，時不時會颳風，風迎面撲來是冰冷刺疼，像刀割在臉上。腳下的積雪很厚，我們這些罪靈走得很緩慢，很痛苦，皮膚慢慢被凍傷，裂開口子，嘴唇也一樣。就這樣一直走，一直走，精神疲乏，可是鬼差根本不讓我們休息。
The snow mountains were enormous. The wind gusts frequently, and because of the biting coldness of it, it felt like icy blades slicing through my face. The snow beneath our feet was very thick, so we walked very slowly as each step was very painful. My skin gradually split due to the coldness, as well as my lips. Just like that, we kept on walking and walking. We were mentally exhausted, but the executioners didn’t give us any rest at all.
『我不懂走了多長時間，是幾天幾夜還是一個星期，又回到入口處。鬼差點名，我雪山地獄刑罰已滿，可以出去了。有女鬼差把衣服拿回給我穿上，過後又被帶去鐵山地獄。和雪山地獄不一樣，鐵山地獄是陰暗的地底高山，空氣悶熱潮濕。這裡也是來自世界各地不同人種的男女罪靈一起聚集懲戒。我們被鬼差呼喝趕上鐵山，腳下是一根根從地底冒出的尖刺。很多被打胎、血淋淋的嬰靈在周圍號哭，怨氣十足看著我們。他們（嬰靈）知道我們都是在陽世犯打胎罪的父母親。我很害怕，害怕被自己打胎的孩子找到，全身發抖，忍著腳下被刺得鮮血淋漓的痛楚，一步步走上鐵山。
I lost track of time. I didn’t know whether it had been a few days or a week, but I once again arrived at the entrance. The executioner called out my name and said that I had completed my sentence at the hell of snow mountains, and I was permitted to leave. A female executioner returned my clothes to me to wear. Afterwards, I was taken to the hell of iron mountains. Unlike the hell of snow mountains, the hell of iron mountains was a dark and great underground mountain. The air was hot and humid. Here, there were also many sinned spirits from different countries who gathered here to be punished. The executioners yelled at us to hurry up the mountain, but the ground had many sharp spikes protruding out of it. There were many bloodied infants (who were aborted) floating around in the sky and crying. They stared at us filled with resentment, and they knew that we were sinned parents who aborted before. I was afraid, I was afraid of being discovered by the child who I aborted, and I trembled all over. I endured the sharp pain in my feet as I slowly walked up the mountain with every bloody step.
『有罪靈跌倒在地，在四周遊蕩的嬰靈會趁機撲咬我們，發洩他們在世時被殺掉的怨氣，他們（嬰靈）根本不管誰是他們的親生父母親。鬼差也不理這些嬰靈，我們就這樣一步步爬上山，到了山頂又被鬼差呼喝叫我們下鐵山。苦不堪言啊，地獄。不要打胎啊！不要邪淫啊！看看我的果報，你們還不相信地獄的存在嗎？』（女罪靈大聲號哭）
When a sinned spirit tripped on to the floor, the floating babies that surrounded us would take the opportunity to bite the person to vent out some of the resentment of being killed. The infants didn’t care who was their parents anymore, and the executioners ignored the infants. Just like that, we slowly went up the mountain. Then when we got to the top, the executioners would order us to go back down. Hell is an unspeakably miserable place. Don’t abort! Don’t commit deeds of sexual misconduct! Look at my karmic retribution, do you still not believe that hell exists?” Then the female sinned spirit cried loudly.
大閻王爺：『念妳學佛後確實改過，只是遇到前世緣分克制不住，被男子誘騙造下打胎害命之惡果，在地獄被懲戒時又有悔改之意，妳現在可出獄投人了。在人道會有佛菩薩再次點化妳入佛門修行。妳隨鬼差去吧。』
感恩師父。
弟子 2018-12-21
The senior Yama said, “I’m mindful that you did reform yourself after learning Buddhism, and it’s because you encountered an affinity from your past life and couldn’t control yourself and was persuaded by the man to commit the unwholesome act of abortion. And during your sentence in hell, you were regretful. Thus you are now free from hell and permitted to reincarnate as a human. In the human realm, there will be Buddhas and Bodhisattvas who will guide you back on the path of Buddhist cultivation. Follow the executioners; you may leave now.”
I’m grateful Master.
