Hell is the translation of Sanskrit Naraka (Naraka), which refers to the great prison in the underworld. It is also translated as "unhappy", "despair", "trick instrument", "trick instrument", etc., but it is not as vivid as the image translated as "hell".

Hell is the worst of the so-called " Ten Realms " in Buddhism. The ten realms are in turn: Buddha, Bodhisattva, Pratyekabuddha , Shravaka, Heaven, Human, Asura , Animals, Hungry Ghosts, and Hell. The first four are called " Four Saints ", and the second six are called "Six Ordinary" and " Six Paths ". The Four Saints are the "saints" who have escaped the suffering of life and death and transcend the mortal saints. The Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, Pratyekabuddhas ( Pratyekabuddhas), and the Shravakas (Arhats) are free and far away in various "Pure Land Paradises" and enjoy forever; while the six realms are reincarnated in the "filthy land", endlessly. The last three of the six realms are animals, hungry ghosts, and hell, also known as the "three evil realms" or "three evil realms", while hell is the most evil realms.

Buddhism is not a single hell. Its number, its complexity, and its cruel punishments are far beyond the prisons on earth. The most famous hell is the fundamental hell.

fundamental hell, including Eight Great Hells and Eight Cold Hells .

Eight Great Hells are said to be below Nanzhanbu Continent . " Abhidharmakosha " says that it is 600,000 miles underground, 600,000 miles deep and wide. That is to say, it occupies 270 million cubic kilometers of space! These eight hells are:

(1) and other living hells. The sinners kill each other here, and the cool breeze blows and comes back to death and continues to suffer.

(2) Black Rope Hell. Strip the sinner with a black iron rope.

(3) Hell of the whole world. Use all animals and torture instruments to commit them together on sinners.

(4) is called hell. The sinner is extremely painful and sad here.

(5) Screaming hell. It is even more painful than the call to hell, and shout loudly.

(6) Hot hell. Cook and roast sinners in copper pot and charcoal pit.

(7) Hot hell. The cooked and roasted sinners are even more than the hot hell.

(8) Avici Hell. Avici Hell is a transliteration of Sanskrit, namely "Avalokitesvara Hell". Any serious crime who commits the "Ten Unhealthy Deeds" falls into this prison, and the sinner is punished here without interruption, so it is called " Amitabha Hell ".

or above eight major hells are found in Volume 8 of the Abhidharma-kosha, and it is said that these eight major hells are arranged vertically. The eight cold hells outside these eight hot hells are arranged horizontally.

Eight Cold Hell is also called Eight Cold Ice Hell, the name is as follows:

(1) 南小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小�

(2) Nissaber (meaning "Berb Prison"): A person has a cold body and a broken blister.

(3) Azhazha: This is the sound of the ecology. The person who is in prison has his lips and tongue frozen, making a trembling sound of "Azhazha".

(4) The silhouette: The sound of the silhouette, the person who entered this prison was so cold that he let out a chill of "Yaoyaopo".

(5) Huhu Po: Elephant sound, those who enter this prison are so cold that they cannot make sounds, and only make the "huhu Po" sound in their throats.

(6) Wenboluo; those who are in this prison will have their body frozen like Green Lotus .

(7) Botmo : The person who is in prison has a big broken body, like a red lotus.

(8) Mahabudma: Those who are in prison have broken bones like white lotus.

Among them, the "green lotus", "red lotus" and "white lotus" are the most cruel.

Lotus is originally a symbol of auspiciousness and holiness in Buddhism. Buddhist legend says that one of the auspicious signs that appeared before the Buddha was born was that the lotus suddenly grew as big as a wheel in the pond. Later, the Buddha gave birth to thousands of rays of light from the root of his tongue, and each ray of light turned into a thousand-leaf golden lotus. On each lotus, there was a Buddha sitting cross-legged and talking about the six paramitas. Therefore, there are a large number of "lotus mount"-style Buddha statues in Buddhism. In the ice hell, the cold-breaking body of the sinner ghost and the bloody tragic situation are like lotus flowers. It makes people feel chilled when they think about it.

In addition, Volume 16 of " Great Wisdom Theory " states that there are still eight fire hells around the eight hells, namely (1) charcoal (fire charcoal) pit hells. (2) Boiling shit hell. (3) Burn the forest hell. (4) Sword Tree Hell. (5) Hell of the sword. (6) Hell of the prickly prickly. (7) Xianhe Hell. (8) Copper Pillar Hell. The bronze pillar hell is probably the punishment of burning that King Zhou of Shang used by him.
