(Praises of King Yama and His Followers -5)  

They are like people who in confusion, lost their way home and took a bad road by mistake. On that treacherous road were many Yakshas, tigers, wolves, lions, serpents, and vipers. Those confused people were sure to be harmed in an instant on that dangerous path. But then they met a knowledgeable guide, skilled in neutralizing all harm, including the toxins of the Yakshas and others. The mentor began to guide the travelers off that road and told them, 'Beware, everyone! What business brought you onto this road? What kinds of special skills do you have to avoid all that harm?' Hearing that, the confused travelers realized they were on a dangerous path and turned back, attempting to escape. "The kind guide then told them to join hands, led them off the dangerous path, and helped them avoid the deadly peril. When they reached a safe path, the travelers grew happy and at peace.

(閻羅王眾讚歎品 - 5)  

譬如有人迷失本家，誤入險道，其險道中，多諸夜叉、及虎狼獅子、蚖蛇蝮蠍。如是迷人，在險道中，須臾之間，即遭諸毒。有一知識，多解大術，善禁是毒，乃及夜叉諸惡毒等。忽逢迷人欲進險道，而語之言：咄哉男子，為何事故而入此路，有何異術，能制諸毒。是迷路人忽聞是語，方知險道，即便退步，求出此路。是善知識，提攜接手，引出險道，免諸惡毒。至於好道，令得安樂。

(The Bodhisattava Kishitigarbha Vow Sutra)     

(Praises of King Yama and His Followers -4)   

The Buddha told Lord Yama, "The beings of Jambudvipa have stubborn and obstinate natures, difficult to tame, difficult to subdue. This Great Bodhisattva continually rescues such beings throughout hundreds of thousands of eons and causes them to obtain liberation quickly. For those beings undergoing retributions even in the worst destinies, the Bodhisattva applies the strength of expedients to extricate them from their own basic karmic conditions and lead them to understand the events of their past lives. But because beings of Jambudvipa are so bound by their own heavy bad habits, they keep revolving in and out of the various paths over and over as this Bodhisattva labors throughout many long eons to entirely effect their rescue and release.   

(地藏菩薩本願經)     

(閻羅王眾讚歎品 - 4) 

佛告閻羅天子：南閻浮提眾生，其性剛強，難調難伏。是大菩薩，於百千劫，頭頭救拔如是眾生，早令解脫。是罪報人乃至墮大惡趣，菩薩以方便力，拔出根本業緣，而遣悟宿世之事。自是閻浮提眾生結惡習重，旋出旋入，勞斯菩薩久經劫數而作度脫。

(Praises of King Yama and His Followers -3)  

At that time Lord Yama looked respectfully at the World Honored One, made obeisance, turned his head to acknowledge Earth Store Bodhisattva, and then said to the Buddha, "World Honored One, I observe that Earth Store Bodhisattva uses hundreds of thousands of expedient means to take across beings who are suffering for their offenses within the Six Paths of rebirth. I see that he does so unstintingly, without the least fatigue. Although this Great Bodhisattva uses his inconceivable spiritual penetrations to do such deeds, it doesn't take long for the beings whom he has helped in gaining release from retributions to fall again into the bad paths. "World Honored One, since Earth Store Bodhisattva has such great inconceivable spiritual power, why are beings not able to rely on it, to stay in the good paths, and to be freed once and for all? Please, World Honored One, explain that for us."  

(地藏菩薩本願經)     
(閻羅王眾讚歎品 - 3) 

是時閻羅天子瞻禮世尊，及迴視地藏菩薩，而白佛言：世尊，我觀地藏菩薩在六道中，百千方便而度罪苦眾生，不辭疲倦，是大菩薩有如是不可思議神通之事。然諸眾生獲脫罪報，未久之間，又墮惡道。世尊，是地藏菩薩既有如是不可思議神力，云何眾生而不依止善道，永取解脫？唯願世尊為我解說。

Then Lord Yama knelt down, placed his palms together, and said to the Buddha, "World Honored One, aided by the Buddha's awesome spiritual strength and the power of Earth Store Bodhisattva, I have been able to come to this great assembly in the Trayastrimsha Heaven, with all these ghost kings and, to our benefit, join in together. There is now a small doubt that I should like to express, and we hope the World Honored One will be compassionate and resolve it." 
The Buddha told Lord Yama, "I will answer whatever you want to ask."

At that time from within the Iron Ring Mountain, Lord Yama and his following of infinite ghost kings came before the Buddha in the Trayastrimsha Heaven. They were the Ghost King Evil Poison, the Ghost King Many Evils, the Ghost King Great Argument, the Ghost King White Tiger, the Ghost King Blood Tiger, the Ghost King Crimson Tiger, the Ghost King Spreading Disaster, the Ghost King Flying Body, the Ghost King Lightning Flash, the Ghost King Wolf Tooth, the Ghost King Thousand Eyes, the Ghost King Animal Eater, the Ghost King Rock Bearer, the Ghost King Lord of Bad News, the Ghost King Lord of Calamities, the Ghost King Lord of Food, the Ghost King Lord of Wealth, the Ghost King Lord of Domestic Animals, the Ghost King Lord of Birds, the Ghost King Lord of Beasts, the Ghost King Lord of Mountain Sprites, the Ghost King Lord of Birth, the Ghost King Lord of Life, the Ghost King Lord of Sickness, the Ghost King Lord of Danger, the Ghost King Three Eyes, the Ghost King Four Eyes, the Ghost King Five Eyes, the Ch'i Li Shih King, the Great Ch'i Li Shih King, the Ch'i Li Ch'a King, the Great Ch'i Li Ch'a King, the No Ch'a King, the Great No Ch'a King, and other such great ghost kings.

Moreover, Elder, when beings who have committed karmic offenses die, their relatives may prepare vegetarian offerings to aid them on their karmic paths. In the process of preparing the vegetarian meal and before it has been eaten, rice-washing water and vegetable leaves should not be thrown on the ground. Before the food is offered to the Buddhas and Sangha no one should eat it. If there is laxness or transgression in this matter, then the deceased will receive no strength from it. If purity is vigorously maintained in making the offering to the Buddhas and Sangha, the deceased will receive one-seventh of the merit. Therefore, Elder, by performing vegetarian offerings on behalf of deceased fathers, mothers, and other relatives while making earnest supplication on their behalf, beings of Jambudvipa benefit both the living and the dead."
