This interview was recorded on February 27, 2018, by the chief writer, Shi Facie. It features the spirit of the late Zhao Puchu, who provides a harrowing account of the witnessed within the brain-gouging hell. Through his observations, he reveals the dire consequences faced by those who, in their pursuit of worldly power and status, have abandoned their conscience and morality. He shares these insights to serve as a stern warning to all who walk the path of practice.
Zhao Puchu speaks:
"There is a common saying that the gates of hell are crowded with monks and Taoists. In my past life, I often interpreted this as a mere warning, a cautionary tale intended to encourage practitioners to be more diligent in their spiritual work. I never truly grasped that this phrase describes a literal, terrifying reality. Especially in this current age, where the flow like a torrential river, greed, anger, ignorance, arrogance, and doubt have permeated the hearts of many who call themselves practitioners or seekers of the Way. They are completely unaware that their actions are paving a direct path to the hells. They remain smug, convinced that their conduct is righteous and correct. With so few people willing to point out the genuine problems, this cycle continues, and the hells are overflowing."
The Reality of the Hells
"Every hall, every level of the hells, is packed with those suffering their retribution or waiting in line to receive it. If you observe carefully, you will find that many of these beings share strikingly similar patterns of behavior. Today, President Xi faced these suffering beings directly, interviewing them to understand why they had ended up in the brain-gouging hell and what their identities had been in the human world. Some answered that they were CEOs of major conglomerates, high-ranking government officials, defense ministers, financial experts, scientists, university presidents, or teachers. They came from every walk of life, yet they shared one common characteristic: in their pursuit of power, status, wealth, or prestige, they used their intellect to calculate, scheme, and frame others."
The Price of Power
"Among them, political officials were the most numerous. To attain higher positions of power, they would slander, frame, and stop at nothing to achieve their ends. They failed to realise that such 'enjoyment' lasts only a few short decades, while the retribution they face after death is eternal. It was only through witnessing these scenes and conducting these interviews that the true gravity of the situation became clear. After listening to the stories of all these beings, President Xi remained silent. The power of such a great era requires someone with immense strength to drive change. Different voices must be heard, and I believe that in his heart, he is already quietly calculating how to proceed. ."
