Tenth Court of Hell - Yama: King Zhuanlun

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 through 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.
