The Buddhist concept about Hell and Heven

The Buddhist concept of heaven and hell is entirely different from that in other religions. 
  • Buddhists do not accept that these places are eternal. 
  • It is unreasonable to condemn a man to eternal hell for his human weakness but quite reasonable to give him every chance to develop himself. 
  • From the Buddhist point of view, those who go to hell can work themselves upward by making use of the merit that they had acquired previously. 
  • There are no locks on the gates of hell. Hell is a temporary place and there is
    no reason for those beings to suffer there forever.
