Deities and Faith
If I tell Lord Bao I have been wronged, will he automatically punish the other person?
English translation draft · Based on the Chinese article. This is not a word-for-word translation approved by Master Shengyuan.
No. You can explain your grievance and desired resolution to Lord Bao, but right and wrong still require investigation. The first person claiming injustice does not automatically determine how matters will be handled.
Someone asked what happens if a complainant lies. I said Lord Bao investigates. Receiving a complaint means knowing what you have raised; investigation, handling, and judgment still follow through their process. If treated unfairly, explain and request assistance, but your statement alone cannot establish all right and wrong.
This differs from seeking revenge. With resentment or grievances, I prefer people visit an upright temple, explain to the deities what help they hope for, and request proper assistance rather than seek harmful talismans or curses. In our religious experience, one curse is countered and another cast, keeping people entangled in recurring grievances. I encourage seeking justice without cultivating revenge.
