OPENING (Journeys to the Underworld)
On 15
th
day of 8
th
Moon 1976 (8
th
September 1976), the
Jade Emperor
of Heaven, issued
a
„Jade Edict‟
to allow deity
Ji Gong
to take a medium‟s soul by the name of „Yang Sheng‟ of
the temple „Sheng Xian Tang‟ to visit the Underworld.
After about two years from 9
th
September 1976 to 30
th
July 1978, there were together
62
journeys made to the Underworld.
Each visit was recorded immediately
through
„sand writing‟
to reveal the extreme sufferings and punishments in Hell. It was then
compiled into a book called
„Journeys to the Underworld‟
and this book is not a religious book
in any sense. It does not belittle any religion but indeed it encourages readers to continue
practising religious beliefs of their own choice.
The original version was in the Chinese language and in 1982 Mr Lee Teik Chong started to
translate it into English and it was completed in May 1985 for the benefit of the English reading
people. The editing was done by Mr Tang Eng Teik, lecturer at the Chinese Studies Department,
University of Malaya, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
The book is published for FREE distribution and the journeys are real. It serves as a reminder to
us that never to make any serious mistake in life and how to live a meaningful life. The
descriptions are exactly the same as in the teachings of Tao of Heaven and with due respect to
the people who had contributed to this book, I would like to include it,
journey by journey
in
my website so that the purpose of theJade
Emperor
is further disseminated through the internet
for the modern world.
Master Ji Gong
in the Temple of Tao of Heaven said,
“The ghostly jailers and the spiritual couriers
Of the Underworld
Are running around the four corners of the earth
Here they come
Seizing and arresting ten thousand evils
Here they come
Cutting off ten thousand loves and passions”
Di Zang Wang Pusa, is the Bodhisattva of the Underworld who made the vow to save all
suffering souls in the Underworld before becoming a Buddha.

FOREWORD (Voyages to Hell)
This English translation of Yang Ts‟ien with Buddha Tse Kong in “Voyages to hell” follows
Chinese Mythology. For those readers not familiar with Asia and the Far East, the different
palaces relate to gates of hell representing many levels of torture to the physical body form.
The severity of sins and lack of merit play crucial roles in the number of gates and levels that the
soul must enter to learn lessons through suffering and happiness in order to attain balance. The
mode of transport to each palace or gate is via a lotus flower which represents purity.
”Voyages to Hell” is translated from the original Chinese spiritual document for readers to open
their minds and try to understand many facets of truth.
The revelation of hell serves to awaken many other human beings who don‟t know the law of
cause and effect. Man can avoid going to hell if he adopts the spiritual path toward self-
perfection.
The Taiwanese use of mediums described in this book should not be confused with VoVi. For
further information about the original version of this book, please write to:

Note: These introductory and concluding chapters are obtained from a different translated
version of the book – known as “Voyages to Hell”. They have been placed in this book as
they are nonetheless relevant and insightful.
