Heaven And Hell In Buddhist Perspective

Heaven and Hell of Buddhism are places with the categories of space and rime whose inhabitants are much subject to the iron law of Karma as are dwellers upon the earth itself. In this interesting study on Buddhism, Dr. Law tells us a good deal concerning concepts and significance of Heavens and Hells. The joys of heaven are represented as being obtainable by means of what is suspiciously like a mercenary bargain, entered into in a spirit which far from being selfless is, on the contrary frankly selfish. The five line of distribution between nirvana and heaven has been amply elaborated Dr. Law has been at pains to collect from Buddhist literature a number of descriptions both of the pleasures of Heaven and sorrows of Hell. The catalogue of crimes and their corresponding punishment, as per the Buddhist faith, has been graphically detailed.
