I went to the “Black Jungle” in the netherworld and sojourned in a ghost family’s dwelling.
This ghost family is continually disturbed by the demons.

I asked the Netherworld Official:
“This family is from the ghost group as well, wherefore the disturbance?” I wondered.

The Netherworld Official replied:
“In this world, there is a group of humans, whose heart and thoughts are adulterated, however they haven’t conducted massive evil deeds. They, after their demise, shall fall into the ‘Black Jungle’ Hell, and be disturbed by the demons consequently.”

I wondered:
“Only by having adulterated thoughts, they got disturbed. This is very bizarre!”

The official said:
“When the heart and mind are devious, the demons will come to possess. That is always the case.”

I inquired further:
“Where do the demons come from? The hell?”

The official said:
“The demons come from one’s own heart. It is one’s own heart that invites the demons from the Black Jungle to come.”

That very night, I tarried in the Black Jungle.
The demons didn’t show up that night.
The host was very curious as the demons always show up every night to disturb. Now that a guest sojourned in the house, the demon didn’t appear.

They asked the Netherworld Official:
“Why don’t the demons show up when there is a guest sojourning in?”

The official replied:
“That guest isn’t an ordinary visitant. Demons won’t dare to come near!

The ghost asked:
“What guest then?”

“The Netherworld Denizens and Yin Realm Overseer Elite Emissary Most Secret Tathagata.”

The ghost was flabbergasted:
“The tathagata stayed in my home?”

When I sojourned in his house, the demons didn’t dare to come.
By the time I left, the demons came again.

Finally, the ghost implored me to write a word to be affixed in his house.
I thought for a moment.
So I wrote “Seeing This Talisman Is Tantamount to Seeing the Real Person”.
Hereby signing: “The Netherworld Denizens and Yin Realm Overseer Elite Emissary Most Secret Tathagata.”

Immediately no demon dares to disturb again.

All ghost families in the Black Jungle heard about this event, therefore came and beseeched me to write talismans for them.

I wrote one by one for them.

The Netherworld Official said:
“All demons, all maras appear as a result of humans having deviating heart. It is opening the way for them to possess and disturb. Suppose a person behaves virtuously, is upright, pure and radiant, the divinities would surely protect one, that no evil demon dares to come and disturb. This is called ‘The heretics cannot beat the righteous ones’, thus when they see the talismans from Grandmaster Lu here, all flee consequently.”

I conducted a session of Dharma Ceremony in the Black Jungle.

I taught the ghosts the sadhana of Nine-Cycle Buddha Breathing:

1. The Nine-Cycle Buddha Breathing is the foundation of Tantrayana practice which possesses a very significant meaning.
2. Focusing the thoughts on the breathing, left nostril, right nostril, both nostrils, the breathing in nine steps.
3. Inhaling the white good karma, exhaling the black bad karma.
4. After going through the nine levels/steps of Exchange, it shall result in the practitioner focusing on Tu Na [Tu: exhale; Na: inhale] and halting evil and mean/unwholesome thoughts/mindset.
5. All Vital Energy are completely focused as One.
6. In reality, With One thought one fragments all unwholesome/undesirable ones.
7. Therefore enabling one to achieve/enter into serene/quiet meditation.
8. Thus establishing the root foundation of Zen Meditation.

I taught all ghosts in the Black Jungle to practise the Nine-Cycle Buddha Breathing. By practising the sadhana for only half a year to a full year, all deviating and evil thoughts have disappeared completely, thus the ghosts no longer fear the demons of the Black Jungle.

Apparently it is said that:
The ghosts had been able to escape the hell. Long live. Long live.
