the netherworld is also called 'yin jian' in Chinese. It is a place, that has 36 divisions all governed by 36 Lords of the Soil. Hell, or rather the place for sufferings are within the netherworld. The 10 courts also fall in the netherworld.
Other then that, the netherworld is a place for souls to residue, those ghosts or those haven reincarnate yet.
the actions done in the 10 courts, has NO against the law of cause and effect. In fact, it is a kind of 'Action After Review' done by the divines (10 kings of Yama). A summary of what human had done. No matter what we become, we will be 'brief' by the 10 courts.
The overall in charge of the 10 courts, are Lord Fengdu and Lord Taishan of Dongyue. There is NO bribery or wat so ever rubbish in hell, contary to superstious belief.
Those hell notes, offerings are an act to display filial peity from the living and also thru rituals, it can ease some sufferings from the soul and accumulate merits. It may sound funny that hell is so 'improvise'...using planes, handphones etc..whether or not they use it is not impt, what impt is it can accumulate merits for the souls and ease the sufferings comfort the spirits.
Thru rituals, it is a form of merits.
hmmm......Well said.... Well done
