Karma-Court of King Henjō (vom Bearbeiter vergebener Titel)

King Henjō, the Sixth of the Ten (Judge) kings and the others over their own court, receives information about the dead from a demonic dungeon assistant. In the post-death period, common Buddhist notions decide on the place and form of retreat according to the laws of karma. This period is referred to as the “middle darkness” (chūin 中様) and forms the actual realm of the dead, which is governed by Ten (judges) kings (jūō Diese) with their own court of justice (see: Bernhard Scheid, “Das Buddhist Totenreichund sein Ten Könige.” In: Religion-in-Japan: A Web Handbook University of Vienna, since 2001 (as of 11.8.2016).
