Today Bernice, Karen, Leonard, RuiMin, Marcus, Nelson and Me went to Haw par villa, Below is the explanation of what is going to happen when you go to hell if you are evil.
First court of hell - Yama: King QinGuang
In the First Court of Hell, King QinGuang conducts preliminary trials and each prisoner is judged according to his deeds in his past life. The "good" are distinguished from the "evil" and the King recommends appropriate reward or punishment. Punishment is then carried out in the various Courts.
Those with Virtuous conduct in their past life will be led over the "Golden Bridge" to reach paradise.
Those whose past good deeds outweigh crimes committed will be sent to the "Silver Bridge" to reach paradise.
Those who were evil doers in their past life will be sent to repent before the "Mirror of Retribution" and then taken to a subsequent Court of Hell to be punished.

In the Tenth Court, there is the "Wheel of Reincarnation" and the Pavilion of Forgetfulness"("Men-Po" Pavilion).
After serving their sentences, prisoners arrive at the Tenth Court where King Zhuanglun passes final judgement. The prisoners are then brought to the "Pavilion of Forgetfulness" where an old lady "Men Po" Hands them a cup of magic tea which on drinking, makes them forget their past lives.
They will then go throught the "Wheel of Reincarnation". Depending on the prisoner's past life, he would either be reborn either as a human or an animal. Some would be reborn into a life of ease and comfort while others into sorrow and suffering.
