A Buddhist's Diary April 11th 2009

Buddhist Hell.

I'm not a big fan of the idea of hell.

'Better it would be to swallow a heated iron ball, like flaring fire, than that a bad person should live on the charity of the land' (!) And they go to hell.

I like the description of adultery: 'The short pleasure of the frightened in the arms of the frightened.' And you go to hell for it too. I think it adds to the 'short pleasure' to be a little frightened. Oh well.
