JADE EDICT

Yu Huang Da Tian Zhun has instructed that this Directive is about to be issue. He has commanded the God of City to travel 5miles to wait, and the God of Luck to travel 10miles also wait for his arrival. All of you must line up quietly for his arrival.
   
Jin Que Nei Xiang decends from Heaven.
"Tonight I will read the Directive to all of you.
All Saints and Human Beings must pay respect."

Yu Huang Da Tien Zhun's Directive states :
               
I, in Heaven, have the intention of helping and saving human beings; and from my place in Heaven,
looking towards Earth, the space appears to be filled with yellow dust. The moral obligations of
human beings have been lost or thrown away - males do not possess the sense of loyalty and filial
peity, while female have lost integrity, chastity and purity. All seem to think and say that there are            
no Buddhas and Saints. They do not believe in the existence of spirits and devils. That is why,
nowadays moral of society have eroded; so human sympathy and justice have been ruined.
Looking at the prevailing decadance of humanity, I am greatly distressed, and seeing that the
souls of the most eager to give whatever assistance I can to save human being. My investigations
reveals that the organization, Sheng Xian Tang is very active in trying to save human beings.
It devotes a great deal effort to be of service to human beings. This organization has published
a magazine known as "Sheng Xian Zazhi" (Sheng Xian Magazine) which has helped many readers
heart to follow the correct path. Its planchette writing sessions have progressed immensely.
All these actions and intentions have helped very much in the furtherance of the sacred doctrine
which  have now gained great brillance. This is why I have chosen to give Edict to Sheng Xian
Tang to write the book entitled "DiYu YouJi" (Journeys to the underworld) by commissioning
JiGong to guide Yang Sheng to tour the Ten Tribunals Hades in order to observe and gather
the happenings there so as to disclose to human beings through the Book so that they can
realise the extent of punishment and sufferings of sinful souls in Hades. These should make
those living to endeavour to lead a better and meaningful life. The Book will be most unusual
kind of book ; and believing that Shen Xian Tang and its members are very sincere in their
attempt towards human salvation. I have already directed the Heads of the Ten Tribunals
that when Jigong and Yang Sheng come to thier respective Tribunals, the gates must be opened
for them and they should be given every facilities and assistance. Should any Tribunal disobey
or refuse to cooperate, I will not hesitate to punish, much less to forgive, the offending Tribunal.
The moment I issue this Edict, your planchette sessions will commence and will stop only when
all worked hard for Heaven, and after the book has been completed, published, distributed
and circulated, I will assess the results and then dish out the awards and rewards. All of you
must follow my instructions and must in no way deviate from them.
