What a lovely presentation of an even more lovely topic!

[@navisaja_]

Hell and Heaven exist in many religion and culture. In mine, we have 7 level of hell and 7 level of heaven. It is fascinating to know other than mine.

[@asphymoonstone1656]

Is that the Buddhist version? I think Theravada dictates 7 Heavens and numerous levels of hell even!, haha

[@josiahwillis1458]

I really appreciate and enjoy your video's. Thank you! Could you share the ancient views of Heaven, Nirvana. Also perhaps who is Shangdi . Thank you again 🙂

[@incrediblesloth85]

Well, that was fascinating. I have learned a lot about Western religion and underworlds and now I'm working on learning more about Eastern religions. This is all super fascinating stuff. The Jainist Naraka and Buddhist Naraka are both interesting

[@lolk7726]

great video!

[@thepastmaster5643]

I did the math and if you're stuck in the bottom of Hell there, you're not getting out for another two and a half BILLION years. XD

[@MidoriLeaf-sr5fy]

"You have done too much, you need to get punished for Billions of years" "Isn't the sun going to explode after some billion years?" "Yeeess?" "Why don't you just throw me into the sun"

[@julieincornwall8786]

Think , Speak and Act kindly to stay out of Hell.

She is a knowledgeable chinese woman ❤🎉😊

[@rencechannel2240]

Nice to know that ther so many levels of hell of Buddhist religion. 😮

[@simbatortie9684]

Exactly!!! Nothing in this universe is unfair.

[@Blue_Lugia]

Rather, nothing is fair.

Avici doesn’t destroy your soul-it’s just a really, really longtime. And these hells are supposed to be symbolic, not actual places. If you really believed that these hells were real and lasted 10,000 years minimum, you wouldn’t be so cheery in your demeanor. You’re not going to burn in hell for 10,000 years for premarital relations or smoking a joint.

What is the demon king?

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@QuincyXD]

Isn't hell not hell and heaven is heaven, why the levels? Interesting and horziontial widenening stories in this videos. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@Melora84]

In the Buddhist faith, a soul ‘s time in hell is, technically, not permanent. A person’s soul goes to hell in order to atone for their bad karma. Depending on the sin and its severity determines the hell level you’re sent to and the amount of time needed to ensure your bad karma is purged. Which could last anywhere from thousands of years to a billion.

I found the empress

[@belaytriks]

Interesting.

[@newmanhyde]

Chinese hell is more interesting. There is a working financial system there

[@JackAtkins-xz5wi]

Jesus Christ is in Nunawading

[@musicandbooklover-p2o]

So much for Buddhism being a gentle religion. And I don't think the punishment for NOT being a believer in Buddhism is warranted either, any more than a punishment for not being Christian or Muslim. At that rate nobody will ever go anywhere other than one form or another of hell.

[@alan5496]

It depends on how you define belief. There are Christians who say they believe in God but commit adultery, there are people who say they don't believe in God and remain faithful in marriage. Stricly speaking, you act on what you believe. A person who acts on the values has more of a belief than a religious follower who violates every rule in action.

[@messageenterprises]

I hope more people in China will come to Christ that they may experience his glorious love and absolute forgiveness. He has paid for the sins of all who will believe upon him and call upon the name of Jesus Christ. His love is tremendous for those who have true sorrow for the sins they have committed.
