She had been searching for the truth of life and wondered where she would go to after death. After many years, she had a dream one night. In her dream, she went to hell, which looked like a very grand palace to her. She was able to tell that it was hell as she saw the different hell characters as seen in some Chinese movies (no further details given).
She was amazed and also bewildered, and began looking around for information about next life. She then saw a huge book titled "Book of Life and Death". Instinctively she opened it to search for her name. She found her name and also that of her nephew. Then she woke up.
She was rather troubled by that dream as she realised that her name was in the Book. Days passed as she pondered over it. One day, she was talking to her mother and found out that her brother, who used to have undesirable habits and considered 'bad', was now a changed person and treated his family and mother very well.
This woman was very puzzled, and went to visit her brother to find out what had happened. He told her that he had found the answer to death, and that was The Way (Tao) as taught by Buddha, in a temple in Singapore. She was amazed, decided to pay the temple a visit. On her first visit, she knelt at the altar to ask for directions about life and death. Suddenly she felt like she was struck by a bolt of lightning, and a voice told her that her name had been transferred from hell to heaven. After that experience, she told her nephew to go to that temple as she saw his name in hell.
My Thoughts
Well, as usual, there is no proof. And I ask the same questions like,
- Why is not everyone given a chance to visit hell?
- Why is hell like ancient China?
- Why can't everyone be taught the truth? etc.
