i don't know how Buddhism and Hinduism were so successful in spreading their eternal nonviolent religion narrative to the whole world, despite being from countries at the receiving end of european colonization and imperialism?
Then you haven't understood anything about Hinduism or Buddhism BOTH THE RELIGIONS MAIN AIM IS TO TELL PEOPLE TO NOT STEAL, KILL, RAP* OR BETRAY How do I know? I study in a Hindu school where they teach us Mahabharat and Ramayana AND BOTH RELIGIONS PROMOTE PEACE
Another thing is that unlike Christianity were you can get away WITH THE WORST CRIMES just by apologising to God even if you sinned willfully In other religions they are actual consequences
@@VR00100 Actually, the Bible mentions that on Judgement Day, many people will claim to have done great things in Jesus' name & that Jesus will declare that he never knew them before sending them to their fate. The Bible also claims that judgement begins with the House of the Lord meaning that the first group to face judgement will be all those who say they serve God. It's also said that even those who pass muster will still get a beating if they actually did make a misstep. You just have to search through the New Testament to find the relevant scriptures (like Revelations, or the 4 books detailing Jesus's ministry).
I get the distinct impression that people who wrote Buddhist Scriptures had a childlike fascination with big numbers. “You’re going to Hell for a Bajillion years!” “Well you’re going Hell for infinity years!!!” “Well you’re going to Hell for Infinity plus 1 years!!!”
No. These numbers come from astronomical calculations. Unlike Christians, asians had calculated specific numbers and distances in the astronomical systems which were quite accurate. And they clearly had understood that the universe is billions of years old and not merely a few thousand.
Lord Buddha himself discribed the nature of the hell. Those teachings were first went orally between monks and later written on scripts. Some teachings that you hear these days aren't hundred percent true because most of them are Mixed with ideas of people.If you want to learn pure Buddhism you can refer Thripitakaya and other suthra pitaka
At the end of the day, Budhism comes from Hinduism and hinduism has all that kind of stuff too. Like the cycles of destruction and reconstruction of the universe, the yugas, lasting numbers of years in the 9 digits.
@@josueromerotorrico4453 nope, today's Hinduism was a copy of Buddhism. in old Hinduism they sacrifice cows, goats for the Shiva, maha kali. Old Hinduism was like the Pegan religion later Buddhism become popular and many old Hindus changed many things. You can still see some old Hindu ideologies in Nepal and india
I often worry that one of the thousands of religions is actually correct and I’ll just end up going to some weird hell despite living a life I think is ethical. This video does not help that fear.
I kind of relate to that, but still choose to be non religious. Maybe if whatever god or gods are out there, are truly just, they will focus more about the life you actually lived, choices you made and perhaps intentions and values, than on whether you guessed the right religion which is basically just a gamble and speculations, if not merely following whatever religion you were raised in. And when we either way dont know for sure, its better to make our choices and values based on what we actually do know. Either way I personally just would not change my values for any religion, even if I knew it to be true. I still think for myself (and try to be a good person in my own way), and thats the leading reason why Im not religious and most likely wont ever be. There still could be just about any religion that is right, but those who are religious tend to be way too confident that they KNOW and dont just believe
@@zakosist Don't forget the Anti-Pascal's Wager, which posits there's an equal chance a god exists who punishes you for believing in it, or punishes you for being good. Basically, everyone goes to hell, so you had better hope there isn't one!
Most of them are about living an ethical life anyway, so it wouldn’t matter as long as you kept expanding your ethics as you learned more stuff. That way you become less and less likely to pick “bad” decisions as time goes on.
You follow every single rule all your life. Then you die, end up in hell and while confused how and why that happened you're told "wrong religion, wrong rules - whoops, lol."
These hells are so over the top so they might sound silly, but oh boy, as a Japanese, they used to scare the shit out of me. Back in my elementary school, there was a picture book depicting them on the classroom bookshelf. Imagine looking at those old-timey yet super graphic drawings of demons torturing people in creatively horrible ways as a 6 years old. And the worst thing is, it says it is a fate for someone who ate cooked animals, which you know, you have done countless times at that point. Gave me so many nightmares.
And by the logic used there - with the assumption that those animals are sentient - you'd expect to find at the very least every bear and every cetacean (and I mean EVERY cetacean since they're all entirely carnivorous) suffering in that hell along with 99% of humans who ever existed.
I wonder if anyone decided to just eat all meat raw (instead of actually going vegan) after hearing the "fate" of those who eat cooked animals. I know there are people who do that as a diet, and I have eaten raw meat myself, but I mean specifically for that religious reason
@@Linfamyok listen I know you mean “lol playing elden ring is hard” but for a second I thought you meant that a possible Buddhist bell would be having to live in the word of Elden ring, which would also suck. Surprisingly it’d suck the least out of all the fromsoft souls games, but still
@eldritchcupcakes3195 I would not be surprised if living in yharnam was one of these hells, I honestly think it would be very interesting if a hell worked like a videogame you can't win where you are constantly tantalising close yo wining, but always keep dying in the most brutal of way 3 seconds from victory
@@alexclo5901 this is not Christianity bro it's buddhism. In buddhism no upper creator god dictate your actions your actions dictate by your own karmic illusion.
As I understand it, there's a difference between theistic Buddhism, where you literally worship Buddha as a divine figure, and philosophical Buddhism, which is more rooted in the kinda secular philosophies of it all. No shade to either branch obviously, they're both fascinating religions.

The statement at 8:00 made me curious so I did some math. Let's say a flame the size of a bean is around 1g of air in mass, it's probably less but this will keep the numbers "low". The land mass of india is around 3.2 million km^2, while earth is around 501 million km^2. This makes india around 6.2% the surface area of earth. We have around 5.5 quadrillion kg of air on earth (5.5×10^15kg) so at 6.2% that makes india have around 3.4*10^14kg of air. Next we make some assumptions. Average air temp on earth is about 14°C but india is a fair bit hotter at about 25°C... still a lot of that air is in the upper (and colder) atmosphere so let's take a smaller average and call it 16°C. Or about room temperature. Now finally we have all the numbers we need. Let's mix our 1g of super heated hell fire with our 3.3*10^17g of 16°C air. We need for the final temperature to light the entire country on fire. Let's aim for 600°C which is in fact the lower end of fire temperatures. The equation is T=(M1*C1*T1 + M2*C2*T2) / (M1*C1 +M2*C2) where C is the specific heat of the fluids we are mixing... air is 1.005 but don't worry because they are the same fluid* so it doesn't matter to much. (Technically one is a plasma, please ignore that, this is hard enough aready) After all is said and done we find that our 1g of air hell fire had to have a temperature of 1.9*10^20°C. The highest temperature ever reached that we know of was 5.5*10^12°C by CERN. CERN reached temperatures greater than any star and our bean sized hell fire absolutely dwarfs it being 10 million times hotter. I'm starting to think hell just might be a tiny bit excessive...
Can u calculate wavelength of light possing this much amount of energy? Using (hc/lamda) if the wavelenght is greater than 1 plank length then it is Theoritically possibpe
@@DeltaOdyssey Truth be told it's actually off by a lot. I made a small conversion error that makes the whole thing off by about a factor of 1000. The earth has 5.5 quadrillion *TONS* of air, not kg's. Meaning the end results should be around 10^23°C not 10^20°C. I'd fix it in the original post but I figured the numbers are so big already that it's largely a meaningless difference to us on a human scale. Plus it's already a very crude way of obtaining the relative temperature, there are so many unaccounted factors like phase changes and heck, nuclear fusion, that I figure it's good enough as a sort of "Fermi Estimation" rather than a exact figure.
My mother wanted me to be raised a buddhist, and i was planning to, but when i was eight years old, i watched a movie about the hells, and it traumatized me so much i couldn't sleep for a week. It was about chinese hells, but it was the same concept as japanese hells. This is why im was not so sure about being a buddhist anymore, and chose to be atheist. Although with my recent fear of death, i feel like I should have found some other faith to believe in
I'd recommend looking into whether or not a religion is actually true, as the first priority. If all you're looking for us comfort, you can just make up your own. One such thing sould be looking into the historical evidence for the Resurrection of Jesus, and another would be looking into the evidence for the Qur'an being factuality trustworthy. That should give you insight into Christianity and Islam, respectively.
@@_SxlarMMM619_ True, but you don't know whether if your next reincarnation is going to do something bullsh♡t. As a buddhist, growing up I have sinned more than I want to admit and it presures me to accept the truth that I probably have to deal with those karma in hell or get ordian and reached enlightenment within this short life....
When I was growing up, a lot of people told me that Christianity was this brutal and cruel religion because of things like Hell. These people said they preferred Buddhism because it was far softer and kinder. The more I learn about Buddhism, the less I am persuaded that these people had any idea what the F*** they were talking about.
One thing I learned delving into the backstories and histories of every religion, is that all of them, including the modern day ones have craziness and wild shit that would make for some cool movies.
@@thelordz33 That is what I think too... For all we know, they are all true, because each soul carries a destiny, thus individualized rewards and punishments are properly set for each soul depending what we do or not. 🤔 One could never know till that time comes.
meh, I recall the lady whose eyes were wired shut in Purgatory... or the guy who was dead and his body possessed by a devil on earth "because the devil was better than him".

Scrolling through the repetitious offerings on RUclips, it’s a lighthearted pleasure to see Linfamy, no matter how dark the material. Truly enjoy your take on the Daishonin
Wait, it went from 'if enough people commit an act, a hell will be made for it', to 'they will make you a personal hell for the unique sin you committed'. I am confused.
From a mystic standpoint I could see how each bad action produces a certain amount of bad energy. So it takes a bunch of lesser sins to create a hell. But if you do something really horrible and are the only one, it produces a ton of bad energy and could create your own unique hell. From a morally standpoint it most likely was told that way to discourage people from thinking "so if I do a crime that is so uniquely bad and horrible, it doesnt fit anywhere, I wont get punished as long as I am the only one doing it?"
I would think the personal hell would be for the dude who invented murder or rape or something like that, then the cumulative ones would be for smaller sins that lots of people commit
I’m an agnostic (atheist) and this video was really interesting. Everything about Buddhism is just amazing. The hells, the sixfold of reincarnation, the gods, the torture methods, etc.
@@chichiro8625 gods in buddhism are either devas (beings living in the upper realms. They have the power to change our world, like how you have the power to help or hinder ants, but they generally don't care), or in Japanese Buddhism, Kami (not strictly gods, but that's the closest word in English to what they are. Spirits is also a good translation).
Let me get this straight... the first hell is a place where if you make eye contact with someone else, you are forced to battle them? Is pokemon based on hell? Oh! Do you get to battle little demons you capture!? Can you collect badges from beating the lords of hell and face hells champion! That doesn't sound all that bad, aside from it being rehashed every few years.
Greek Hell: Eternal, but reserved for the worst of the worst Buddhist Hell: Temporary but really long, and where most people go. Abrahamic Hell: Eternal, and for basically everyone
Incorrect. There is no hell in Judaism. There is only Sheol, the sojourn of the dead, and the possibility for resurrection. Some of the ancient writings in the Tanakh seem to have a rather agnostic view on death. (See quote from the book of Ecclesiastes dated between 400 to 200 bc) "Man’s fate is like that of the animals; the same fate awaits them both: As one dies, so dies the other. All have the same breath; man has no advantage over the animal. Everything is meaningless. All go to the same place; all come from dust, and to dust all return. Who knows if the spirit of man rises upward and if the spirit of the animal goes down into the earth?" I assume that when you say Abrahamic, you mean Christian and Islamic. You would be mostly correct, though some Christians believe that hell is instantaneous, rather than eternal. The "Gehenna" that Jesus refers to a couple times in the Gospels was a field where people incinerated garbage and some corpses. Some interpret is as a metaphor representing the obliteration of the soul, the annihilation of the "self". Permadeath. Nada. Nihilo. The End. "If there is no resurrection, let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die". In that way, the judeochristian point of view is closest to the atheist's. Death is the destruction of the psyche. The difference is that Christians believe there is a way to get saved from that fate and resurrected.
Imagine you're just a guy who went past a shrine with food offerings and you were really hungry so you took one piece and then you end up going to the worst of all hells with the guys who killed their parents and went through life murdering, torturing and raping people left and right for billions of years.
Being raised Hindu my father taught me that if you commit a bad enough deed in life you go to a temporary Hell, custom-made for you, that feels eternal, but only lasts a short time before reincarnating.
I have read Dante's Inferno and I have to say that, for me anyway, the Japanese Buddhist Hells are far worse and much more creative. By the way, is there a Hierarchy of Demons in Buddhist Hell like in the Judeo-Christian version?
I think they aren't worse, actually, because 1. Dante's Inferno was always fiction and by no means a spiritual work, much less a canonical one, 2. Christian hell lasts forever and is impossible to escape, with the suffering and torments increasing exponentially for all eternity (something quite unfathomable), and 3. Though the sufferings or torments are different from the Buddhist hells, many different saints, theologians etc have described various torments as well in addition to the burning/heat aspect.
@@barbieblues7639 To your points, I would pose a few respectful arguments. 1. The Divine Comedy may be fiction, but objectively speaking there is no proof whatsoever that the afterlife, God, Gods and Goddesses or anything supernatural even exists, so it may very well be that all of these verses are also fiction. It could be argued that the Buddhist descriptions of Hell have more of an impact because they are presented as truth, but then again it could also be argued that Dante's descriptions of Hell likely have the same impact because even if they don't refer to actual descriptions of Hell IN holy scripture they still refer to the Hell OF holy scripture, which is presented as fact and is/was a major force in not just European/Western Asian but World History. Anyway, I initially presented my opinion more as fact than just how these passages affected me personally, so I am at fault for being imprecise in what I meant. 2 and 3. Overall you're right; Christian Hell is eternal and these sufferings in Buddhist Hell are not, but I was more referring to how a lot in The Inferno was comparatively tame.
Holy crap that ad segue was smoother than a freshly waxed bottom. Y'know, this made me think that Japanese Buddhist Hell has so much iron, it's probably where all of the country's ore reserves went.
The idea of personal hells being shared and new hells being born of shared sin is pretty sweet, but these, like many hell concepts, fall into the issues of "sin is personal bias (I.e. the poop soup hell is for people who do what we call hunting nowadays, which isn′t considered that heinous under most circumstances)" and "sin lacks complexity (if I kill someone in self-defense or on accident, does that count as the same sin as sadistic murder?)" Still, for what it′s worth, there are still some great hell ideas here that would suck quite tremendously!
I like Hoozuki's Coolheadness interpretation of Buddhist Hell. Essentially, 8 Hot Hells and 8 Cold Hells have sub-hells which come with personalized punishments if the sin commited is particularly bad. While it's no 64,000, it does cover a view of the popular beliefs and writings. They also cover the idea that Hell is constantly evolving, repurposing hells that don't get anymore sinners and how certain folklore subjects work in Hell too.
I absolutely adore your sense of humor and wit! You crack me up at every turn and say it so straight faced too! What a great channel! You learn something and get a smile on your face at the same time! 🤗🤗😍🥰🤣
The thing that freaks me out about ANY afterlife, heaven or hell, is that you're basically still alive, but just in another dimension or something. Which might be fine at first, if you end up going to heaven, but then years pass by, and years become centuries, and centuries becomes a millenniums and you're STILL existing. Eventually the psychological strains of basically being immortal takes it's toll on you, and you go insane, and all you have to look forward to is hoping that Azathoth wakes up and ends all reality, freeing you of your mental prison as you slip away into the inky blackness of nonexistence.
In Heaven you can't go crazy , you are always healthy there, mentally, always happy, every need is fulfilled there ,there is no boredom, no suffering, There are no negative effects of Heaven . Hell is the opposite , There are no positives in Hell there's nothing good there . And Azathoth , Someday he will swear you again and you will suffer again.
@@JimmyPizzaDelivery I know , I am talking about an original idea probably derived from Sumerian beliefs, and now repeated by the Bible, other visions of Hell and Heaven are the destiny of these versions.
You are starting to get the basic concepts of Buddism and its essence by pure intuition. Yes, Buddhists strive for enlightenment to attain Nirvana, which is to escape cycle of life, rebirth and reincarnation once and for all. So that you escape repeated suffering of living and dying again and again. Buddhism believes there are many gods in existence, it doesnt deny them but it teaches even gods can be fall a victim to impermance, delusion and suffering. You might not achieve Nirvana in one lifetime but good deeds you did in your many previous lifetime are accumulated towards it. Even Buddha himself had to live a thousand lives (good and bad) to finally reach enlightenment. But only with good deeds you cant reach it, only through your own experiments, practices and mediation that you have a chance to attain it. Well known knowledge like eight-fold paths, knowing that to live is to suffer, separating yourself from worldly attachments and resisting temptations is a good start. And remember, whatever the vile or evil deeds you commited, it has left stained on you through next life until you are paid. You cant wash it off, cleanse it nor apologize it. Sure, you can try to do good deeds but it acts as only to balance the proportion because you will eventually suffer from what you did doesnt matter its a little bad things or big bad things, thats the equilibrium of it. What you give is what you will get. Its a given that your karma will inevitably come back to you in this life or another.
Personally, the best part of this video is the expressions on the faces of the various oni, etcetera: they're not gleeful or joyous or relishing their fun torturing the mortals in their clutches. For them, this is just another day at the job. They're concentrating on doing well in their profession, and I think they like their work, but it's not something that causes them undue pleasure, just the normal satisfaction of a messy job done right, like working as a mechanic, or a plumber.
It is a bit worrying how much time Buddhist monks spent thinking and fantasising about such violent places. Also is it possible to be reincarnated as a demon or any of the others beings that caused suffering in the hells?
That's kind of a hard question to answer and honestly I don't know enough about the whole scope of Buddhism to answer that in a comprehensive manner. But the short answer is in that at least in some sects of Buddhism, yeah it is. Also given the most common core ideas in Buddhism I would imagine that most if not all Buddhist sects would say that it is. But it's likely that some of them just don't address the question directly. I can say that at least in many Chinese and other East Asian sects many of the beasts and demons in hell were reincarnated there. Usually it's seen as a reward more than a punishment. Well maybe more of a consolation prize than a reward? Usually they are good innocent people or animals who died from some type of horrible murder or abuse. Then the judges of the dead take pity on them and give them immortal bodies (or as immortal as you get in Buddhism without becoming a Buddha, since even gods are still in the wheel of reincarnation) and then let them work as part of the heavenly bureaucracy as a grunt worker in one of the hell divisions. So like you were a good faithful vegetarian dog who got beaten to death for no reason. So the hell judge hires you to spend a few trillion eternities mauling animal abusers.
@@gregsvoice5628 But I should also point out that if you lived and died horribly from abuse or murder and passed on full of anger or hated or feelings of wanting revenge that you would instead probably be reborn in the animal, preta, or even hell realms. Or at least that would be a more classical Buddhist take on it. But you should also keep in mind that Buddhism both influenced and was heavily influenced by folk beliefs in various areas and what little I know comes more from East Asian forms of Buddhism and especially folk religious beliefs related to Buddhism. When you start talking about specific later period Japanese ideas of the Buddhist hells you are already talking about something that has been heavily influenced by Chinese folk religion and further by local Japanese folk religious beliefs. Given the heavy Daoist influence in Chinese folk religion which also influenced East Asian Buddhist schools it's also possible some of the East Asian Buddhist sects had hell demons who were full of anger and resentment. Daoism is full of all kinds of spirits, gods, ghosts, etc. who died horrible deaths while full of anger or negative thoughts and feelings. One of the big things the celestial bureaucracy and Daoist priests do is to subdue these ghosts and demons and put them to work for the good of heaven. So if an invading army gets completely massacred and the ghosts of their dead soldiers start attacking local people and doing things like causing plagues and famines, then you have a Daoist do rituals to call down local gods and the heavenly army to subdue them. Once subdued they get incorporated into one of the divisions of the heavenly army and help to subdue other wild or angry ghosts or demons. In that way their wild and angry energy is harnessed and used for the common good. Also by becoming part of the heavenly troops they are brought into line with the dao and their spirits are purified and cleansed. Of course you can't subdue every ghost and demon like that. Sometimes the priest or the gods involved are not strong enough or the demon or ghost is just too strong or wild. So there are other ways to either destroy or imprison them. But given the choice it's seen as better for everyone (including the ghost or demon) to subdue them and make them work for the heavens. Obviously this is Daoism and Buddhism is different. But similar ideas exist in some Buddhist sects with various angry deities. Also as mentioned, while many of these ideas of hells originated in Buddhism they became part of local folk religion. So the various hells and hell judges are part of Chinese folk religion and part of the heavenly bureaucracy along with various Daoist gods, heavenly armies, and Buddhas and Bodhisattvas. The changes in the way these things were viewed by the general population regularly made it back into local Buddhist sects. So the short answer is yes people can reincarnate into one of the various guards in hell or one of the heavenly functionaries. They can also reincarnate into gods or demons. At least according to most schools of Buddhism as well as Daoism and East Asian folk religions. (although in terms of Daoism or folk religion it's debatable whether this should be called reincarnation as it's often viewed very differently than in Buddhism.) But the who, what, when, where, and why details of this will differ by period, location, sect, etc.
Yes but I don't know.For me you can as the whole concept of reincarnation is you can reincarnate into anything in the 31 realms based on your good karma and bad karma.
I always wondered how could someone hurt a Buddha, since they're invulnerable. Even before reaching enlightenment, the Buddha was supposed to transform Mara's arrows into flowers before they reached him. Buddhism should teach that you end up in a Hell only if deep inside you want to suffer because you feel guilty. Oh but that's not convenient for the governing Elite to make you meek.
Yomi was never really a 'hell' as such. Historically it was a sort of neutral afterlife location, and in modern Shinto it's only really thought of as the place that Izanami-no-mikoto resides, with Shinto not having a specific take on the afterlife as the afterlife in Japan has long been the realm of Buddhism
3:13 "All 8 hells lie BENEATH the EARTH, each one is a cube about 10,000 miles on each side, the lowest one is about 100,000 miles on each side" *Googles how deep Earth is *Does some math *Confused Screaming 4:59 There is an iron wall and fire is burning there If super hot fire is burning iron then the iron would not "burn" it would "MELT" so the walls would be tumbling... down? *Confused Scream #2
It's probably not iron but rather a rare type of metal that looks like iron the only exits in that realm that can withstand it's flame,Plus how can a person tell the difference between iron and other type of metal?
So, we know that the Mauryan Empire played a heavy role in the spread of Buddhism (and thus perhaps the development as well), and that the Mauryans were influenced by the Achaemenid Empire, who belonged to the Zoroastrian Faith Does that mean that Buddhist Concepts of Hell were perhaps influenced by Zoroastrianism?
But i think zoroastrianism was more so influenced by Mesopotamian religions than Hinduism. Look up Mesopotamian/Sumerian and Assyrian mythology there’s a lot of similarities with their gods and Zoroastrianism
Cold Buddhist Narakas are metal too; the one I find the most morbidly fascinating is the eighth, the Great Lotus Naraka. Sinners are flogged by winds so cold that their skin freezes, cracks open and exposes their internal organs. Those are then also frozen, and so on and so forth until the sinner is reduced to a shambling, constantly regenerating pile of frozen guts and skin until they work off their bad karma. Brutal stuff.

Another great Japanese Buddhist lore video as always Linfamy! I was hoping you’d do this one after watching the 1960s Japanese classic horror movie, Jigoku.
To put into perspective, trying to endure and survive in the Reviving Hell is like spending a good portion of a red dwarf star's lifespan. Considering they were the longest lasting fuel burning stellar objects in the observable universe, it takes about 10 lifespans of being in that underworld to pass the entire life of one.
Well, that's the very reason why the Japanese haven't eaten animals for 1500 years. And of course fish and whales are not animals because we didn't have Darwin.
2:40 Reviving Hell (Tōkatsu Jigoku) or (Sañjīva) or (သိဉ္ဇိုဝ်း) This hell in Indian and Burmese Buddhism is said to have ground made of hot iron heated by an immense fire.Already in a state of fear,the sinners attack each other with iron claws.Sinners who didn’t were attacked by hell guards(they are said to not be demons but are angelic ogres who were station here by Yama).As soon as the sinners experienced an unconsciousness like death,they are revived again and the attacks begin again. Life in this hell is said to be 162,000,000,000 years 4:40 The Black Cord Hell (Kokujō Jigoku) or (Kālasūtra) or (ကာလသုတ္တ) Including the torments of the earlier hell, black lines are drawn upon the body,which hell guards use as guides to cut the being with saws,machetes and axes.

Another great video! It was a lot of fun to learn more about hell, especially since one of my favorite anime is about this hell presented in the video. Hozuki's Coolheadness (Hozuki No Reitetsu) is an awesome comedy anime about hell and its system. I hope you make more videos about this topic!
Not at all, while heavens can have weird or creative ideas they are typically standard (valhala being one of the exceptions) and are filled with "good" spirits which are either holy, or nature spirits Hell on the other hand can be more unhinged, it's from the mind of its creator, what they view as sins is incorporated into that hell and usually makes it unique. Or is filled with unique beasts based on a concept, sin or just naturally lives there. Hell doesn't even need to have suffering and can just be where the dead reside or a wholely different world entirely
Hell is basically fanfic whatever you imagine, even dantes, he had peoplr and poes he hated there. Only norse have a good hel, she is just protecting souls in a cave.
That anime taught me about the Softbank dog. And people think they need to localize away references in media. How else am I supposed to head down an amusing and adorable hours-long rabbit hole just to understand a brief gag in a show that already requires I know about another folk tale just to get the setup?
I NEED to take the time to highlight how most YT videos start with so much fluff and intro BS for whatever reason, how unappealing it's all always been to me. How being asked to like, comment, and subscribe has the adverse effect on my likelyhood to do so. And then this channel, the first 5 seconds i'm fully plunged into exactly what the title says, no BS. This channel is a gem for many reasons and this is among those reasons.
haha, this is why i love the anime and manga "Hozuki's Coolheadedness" or "Hōzuki no Reitetsu". It was such a weird show but I found all the lighthearted gruesomeness so endearing :p
I was scrolling through expecting many comments about Hoozuki no Reitetsu. I love that series!! It's so informative and funny. The upbeat opening is the best!
Now I really want a Soulsborne or roguelite game where you try to survive the different layers of Buddhist hell to redeem yourself and get reincarnated.
Thank the Kami that Linfamy has posted right when the world is poised on the brink of disaster! I'm sure the Buddhist Hells don't have a Chernobyl-yet. They're safer than the real world atm. I wonder if Hozuki and I could work out an exchange deal.
As a buddish who did a study on the religion itself, pure form of buddism do not believe in hell but rather a birth cycle, you will kept rebirth and being miserable/thing happened through your life until you found enlightenment, these hell you are seeing in this video are influenced by other religions such as hindu.
From what I understand about the nature of Buddhist Reincarnation. The state of the person is ever-changing and there is no immortal soul or mind. Therefore it's less of you GOING to Hell but more of what remains of you after you die to go to Hell. Buddhism is all about the long-term goal of Nirvana for the physical existence for the sum of one's parts, not inherently to achieve a personal mental stimulation like a Heaven. When what becomes of you goes to Hell, there is no proper you to actually perceive the Hell, a new life was just created from what was once you. Going to Hell is an eventual and necessary step in the wheel of Samsara just like all the other stages.
The fact that the japanese name for hell is jigoku it makes a lot of sense when some highschool otaku friends invited me to an anime convention called Jigoku, it was as shitty as you expect.
That's a work of fiction. Why do people think that's a religious/spiritual work? I don't get it. It was never meant to be taken that way. I mean obviously it deals with those subjects but it isn't a theological treatise or a Scripture or something.
I wonder if the hell for people who water down wine was due to the fact that wine was often much safer to drink than water before our modern understanding of bacteria, so people who watered down wine risked getting others sick, often times a death sentence back then, hence the “404 diseases” as punishment.

@@robertjarman3703 hopefully only the first one
Dude will you ever make a video on the 9 stages of decay in Buddhism ?? Like choso , kechizu and all that ??
Good one lin. I'd love to comment more later but I'm in the ghetto that my family has made hell. Kids aren't safe so I gotta get busy
As someone who's raised a buddhist, _this_ is the reason that when anyone comments "Buddhism looks like a sensible and peaceful religion", I snicker.
i don't know how Buddhism and Hinduism were so successful in spreading their eternal nonviolent religion narrative to the whole world, despite being from countries at the receiving end of european colonization and imperialism?
Then you haven't understood anything about Hinduism or Buddhism
BOTH THE RELIGIONS MAIN AIM IS TO TELL PEOPLE TO NOT STEAL, KILL, RAP* OR BETRAY
How do I know? I study in a Hindu school where they teach us Mahabharat and Ramayana
AND BOTH RELIGIONS PROMOTE PEACE
Another thing is that unlike Christianity were you can get away WITH THE WORST CRIMES just by apologising to God even if you sinned willfully
In other religions they are actual consequences
Then clearly you were raised in a sect very far from the peaceful origins.
@@VR00100
Actually, the Bible mentions that on Judgement Day, many people will claim to have done great things in Jesus' name & that Jesus will declare that he never knew them before sending them to their fate.
The Bible also claims that judgement begins with the House of the Lord meaning that the first group to face judgement will be all those who say they serve God.
It's also said that even those who pass muster will still get a beating if they actually did make a misstep.
You just have to search through the New Testament to find the relevant scriptures (like Revelations, or the 4 books detailing Jesus's ministry).
Christian: Go to Hell!
Buddist: Which one?

@@gamingdragon1356 Thats actually a folk belief without much backing in scripture
In Dante's Inferno (which is based in Christian mythology) there are 9 circles of hell.
All of them lol
I get the distinct impression that people who wrote Buddhist Scriptures had a childlike fascination with big numbers.
“You’re going to Hell for a Bajillion years!”
“Well you’re going Hell for infinity years!!!”
“Well you’re going to Hell for Infinity plus 1 years!!!”
Actually, there is deep meaning in these metaphors. Like Buddhist cosmology, humans are evolved from monkeys.
No. These numbers come from astronomical calculations. Unlike Christians, asians had calculated specific numbers and distances in the astronomical systems which were quite accurate. And they clearly had understood that the universe is billions of years old and not merely a few thousand.
Lord Buddha himself discribed the nature of the hell. Those teachings were first went orally between monks and later written on scripts. Some teachings that you hear these days aren't hundred percent true because most of them are Mixed with ideas of people.If you want to learn pure Buddhism you can refer Thripitakaya and other suthra pitaka
At the end of the day, Budhism comes from Hinduism and hinduism has all that kind of stuff too. Like the cycles of destruction and reconstruction of the universe, the yugas, lasting numbers of years in the 9 digits.
@@josueromerotorrico4453 nope, today's Hinduism was a copy of Buddhism. in old Hinduism they sacrifice cows, goats for the Shiva, maha kali. Old Hinduism was like the Pegan religion later Buddhism become popular and many old Hindus changed many things. You can still see some old Hindu ideologies in Nepal and india
I often worry that one of the thousands of religions is actually correct and I’ll just end up going to some weird hell despite living a life I think is ethical. This video does not help that fear.
I kind of relate to that, but still choose to be non religious. Maybe if whatever god or gods are out there, are truly just, they will focus more about the life you actually lived, choices you made and perhaps intentions and values, than on whether you guessed the right religion which is basically just a gamble and speculations, if not merely following whatever religion you were raised in. And when we either way dont know for sure, its better to make our choices and values based on what we actually do know.
Either way I personally just would not change my values for any religion, even if I knew it to be true. I still think for myself (and try to be a good person in my own way), and thats the leading reason why Im not religious and most likely wont ever be. There still could be just about any religion that is right, but those who are religious tend to be way too confident that they KNOW and dont just believe
@@zakosist Don't forget the Anti-Pascal's Wager, which posits there's an equal chance a god exists who punishes you for believing in it, or punishes you for being good. Basically, everyone goes to hell, so you had better hope there isn't one!
Most of them are about living an ethical life anyway, so it wouldn’t matter as long as you kept expanding your ethics as you learned more stuff. That way you become less and less likely to pick “bad” decisions as time goes on.
Why I’m agnostic
You follow every single rule all your life. Then you die, end up in hell and while confused how and why that happened you're told "wrong religion, wrong rules - whoops, lol."
These hells are so over the top so they might sound silly, but oh boy, as a Japanese, they used to scare the shit out of me. Back in my elementary school, there was a picture book depicting them on the classroom bookshelf. Imagine looking at those old-timey yet super graphic drawings of demons torturing people in creatively horrible ways as a 6 years old. And the worst thing is, it says it is a fate for someone who ate cooked animals, which you know, you have done countless times at that point. Gave me so many nightmares.
Lol what a great book to put in a classroom
And by the logic used there - with the assumption that those animals are sentient - you'd expect to find at the very least every bear and every cetacean (and I mean EVERY cetacean since they're all entirely carnivorous) suffering in that hell along with 99% of humans who ever existed.
@@lsmmoore1 the bears didn't cook them so they're off the hook. Sushi is now legal by technicality!
I wonder if anyone decided to just eat all meat raw (instead of actually going vegan) after hearing the "fate" of those who eat cooked animals. I know there are people who do that as a diet, and I have eaten raw meat myself, but I mean specifically for that religious reason

Wow, Buddhism sure came a long way from the old "everything is an illusion" and "all exiting is suffering" days.
If you break the illusion of your karma there is no suffering. Your suffering and happiness are all illusions of your karmic Seeds.

No shade to either branch obviously, they're both fascinating religions.
This was very interesting but I would be very grateful if you would talk about the cold hells as well.
They're on Wikipedia, most likely under the term Naraka. That's how I knew about them

@@veiga1000 i think there is also another hell that you might be interested called dante's inferno.
The statement at 8:00 made me curious so I did some math.
Let's say a flame the size of a bean is around 1g of air in mass, it's probably less but this will keep the numbers "low".
The land mass of india is around 3.2 million km^2, while earth is around 501 million km^2. This makes india around 6.2% the surface area of earth.
We have around 5.5 quadrillion kg of air on earth (5.5×10^15kg) so at 6.2% that makes india have around 3.4*10^14kg of air.
Next we make some assumptions. Average air temp on earth is about 14°C but india is a fair bit hotter at about 25°C... still a lot of that air is in the upper (and colder) atmosphere so let's take a smaller average and call it 16°C. Or about room temperature.
Now finally we have all the numbers we need. Let's mix our 1g of super heated hell fire with our 3.3*10^17g of 16°C air. We need for the final temperature to light the entire country on fire. Let's aim for 600°C which is in fact the lower end of fire temperatures.
The equation is T=(M1*C1*T1 + M2*C2*T2) / (M1*C1 +M2*C2) where C is the specific heat of the fluids we are mixing... air is 1.005 but don't worry because they are the same fluid* so it doesn't matter to much. (Technically one is a plasma, please ignore that, this is hard enough aready)
After all is said and done we find that our 1g of air hell fire had to have a temperature of 1.9*10^20°C.
The highest temperature ever reached that we know of was 5.5*10^12°C by CERN. CERN reached temperatures greater than any star and our bean sized hell fire absolutely dwarfs it being 10 million times hotter.
I'm starting to think hell just might be a tiny bit excessive...

@@DeltaOdyssey Truth be told it's actually off by a lot. I made a small conversion error that makes the whole thing off by about a factor of 1000.
The earth has 5.5 quadrillion *TONS* of air, not kg's. Meaning the end results should be around 10^23°C not 10^20°C.
I'd fix it in the original post but I figured the numbers are so big already that it's largely a meaningless difference to us on a human scale. Plus it's already a very crude way of obtaining the relative temperature, there are so many unaccounted factors like phase changes and heck, nuclear fusion, that I figure it's good enough as a sort of "Fermi Estimation" rather than a exact figure.
Don't complain. It makes the Hell Dwellers die quicker and be put out of their misery.
My mother wanted me to be raised a buddhist, and i was planning to, but when i was eight years old, i watched a movie about the hells, and it traumatized me so much i couldn't sleep for a week. It was about chinese hells, but it was the same concept as japanese hells. This is why im was not so sure about being a buddhist anymore, and chose to be atheist. Although with my recent fear of death, i feel like I should have found some other faith to believe in
Do you remember the name of the movie?
I dont know.
But the thing is we are talking abt hell here, you got to hell for doing bad things. So if you don't do bad things you won't go to hell
I'd recommend looking into whether or not a religion is actually true, as the first priority.
If all you're looking for us comfort, you can just make up your own.
One such thing sould be looking into the historical evidence for the Resurrection of Jesus, and another would be looking into the evidence for the Qur'an being factuality trustworthy. That should give you insight into Christianity and Islam, respectively.

When I was growing up, a lot of people told me that Christianity was this brutal and cruel religion because of things like Hell. These people said they preferred Buddhism because it was far softer and kinder. The more I learn about Buddhism, the less I am persuaded that these people had any idea what the F*** they were talking about.
well, you already have people claiming "THAT IS NOT TRUE BUDDHISM" in the comment section.
At least Buddhist hells tend to be temporary and creative.
If you want a religion that is really soft and gentle, you should talk about Taoism, it doesn't talk much about the afterlife.
To be fair though christians brought much more bloodshed than Buddhists so they're kinda right.
One thing I learned delving into the backstories and histories of every religion, is that all of them, including the modern day ones have craziness and wild shit that would make for some cool movies.

Wait, it went from 'if enough people commit an act, a hell will be made for it', to 'they will make you a personal hell for the unique sin you committed'. I am confused.
Perhaps it depends on how much bad karma the act generates.
From a mystic standpoint I could see how each bad action produces a certain amount of bad energy. So it takes a bunch of lesser sins to create a hell. But if you do something really horrible and are the only one, it produces a ton of bad energy and could create your own unique hell.
From a morally standpoint it most likely was told that way to discourage people from thinking "so if I do a crime that is so uniquely bad and horrible, it doesnt fit anywhere, I wont get punished as long as I am the only one doing it?"

Greek Hell: Eternal, but reserved for the worst of the worst
Buddhist Hell: Temporary but really long, and where most people go.
Abrahamic Hell: Eternal, and for basically everyone
Incorrect. There is no hell in Judaism. There is only Sheol, the sojourn of the dead, and the possibility for resurrection. Some of the ancient writings in the Tanakh seem to have a rather agnostic view on death. (See quote from the book of Ecclesiastes dated between 400 to 200 bc)
"Man’s fate is like that of the animals; the same fate awaits them both: As one dies, so dies the other. All have the same breath; man has no advantage over the animal. Everything is meaningless. All go to the same place; all come from dust, and to dust all return. Who knows if the spirit of man rises upward and if the spirit of the animal goes down into the earth?"
I assume that when you say Abrahamic, you mean Christian and Islamic. You would be mostly correct, though some Christians believe that hell is instantaneous, rather than eternal. The "Gehenna" that Jesus refers to a couple times in the Gospels was a field where people incinerated garbage and some corpses. Some interpret is as a metaphor representing the obliteration of the soul, the annihilation of the "self". Permadeath. Nada. Nihilo. The End.
"If there is no resurrection, let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die".
In that way, the judeochristian point of view is closest to the atheist's. Death is the destruction of the psyche. The difference is that Christians believe there is a way to get saved from that fate and resurrected.

I think they aren't worse, actually, because 1. Dante's Inferno was always fiction and by no means a spiritual work, much less a canonical one, 2. Christian hell lasts forever and is impossible to escape, with the suffering and torments increasing exponentially for all eternity (something quite unfathomable), and 3. Though the sufferings or torments are different from the Buddhist hells, many different saints, theologians etc have described various torments as well in addition to the burning/heat aspect.
@@barbieblues7639
Also it was mostly Dante's diss track against his enemies(like how Paradise is basically him simping over some girl)
@@barbieblues7639 To your points, I would pose a few respectful arguments.
1. The Divine Comedy may be fiction, but objectively speaking there is no proof whatsoever that the afterlife, God, Gods and Goddesses or anything supernatural even exists, so it may very well be that all of these verses are also fiction.
It could be argued that the Buddhist descriptions of Hell have more of an impact because they are presented as truth, but then again it could also be argued that Dante's descriptions of Hell likely have the same impact because even if they don't refer to actual descriptions of Hell IN holy scripture they still refer to the Hell OF holy scripture, which is presented as fact and is/was a major force in not just European/Western Asian but World History.
Anyway, I initially presented my opinion more as fact than just how these passages affected me personally, so I am at fault for being imprecise in what I meant.
2 and 3. Overall you're right; Christian Hell is eternal and these sufferings in Buddhist Hell are not, but I was more referring to how a lot in The Inferno was comparatively tame.
Holy crap that ad segue was smoother than a freshly waxed bottom.

"Before drinking a cup of lava and screaming."
I will now use that to describe my morning coffee.
The idea of personal hells being shared and new hells being born of shared sin is pretty sweet, but these, like many hell concepts, fall into the issues of "sin is personal bias (I.e. the poop soup hell is for people who do what we call hunting nowadays, which isn′t considered that heinous under most circumstances)" and "sin lacks complexity (if I kill someone in self-defense or on accident, does that count as the same sin as sadistic murder?)" Still, for what it′s worth, there are still some great hell ideas here that would suck quite tremendously!
That's because Hell in general was meant to scare illiterate people back then.
@@nidohime6233 what's because of that?
I like Hoozuki's Coolheadness interpretation of Buddhist Hell. Essentially, 8 Hot Hells and 8 Cold Hells have sub-hells which come with personalized punishments if the sin commited is particularly bad. While it's no 64,000, it does cover a view of the popular beliefs and writings. They also cover the idea that Hell is constantly evolving, repurposing hells that don't get anymore sinners and how certain folklore subjects work in Hell too.

The thing that freaks me out about ANY afterlife, heaven or hell, is that you're basically still alive, but just in another dimension or something. Which might be fine at first, if you end up going to heaven, but then years pass by, and years become centuries, and centuries becomes a millenniums and you're STILL existing. Eventually the psychological strains of basically being immortal takes it's toll on you, and you go insane, and all you have to look forward to is hoping that Azathoth wakes up and ends all reality, freeing you of your mental prison as you slip away into the inky blackness of nonexistence.
In Heaven you can't go crazy , you are always healthy there, mentally, always happy, every need is fulfilled there ,there is no boredom, no suffering, There are no negative effects of Heaven . Hell is the opposite , There are no positives in Hell there's nothing good there . And Azathoth , Someday he will swear you again and you will suffer again.
@@birb2330 Oh boy, it also depends on the iteration of Heaven and Hell you are talking about too.
Because, there are thousands of different ones.
@@JimmyPizzaDelivery I know , I am talking about an original idea probably derived from Sumerian beliefs, and now repeated by the Bible, other visions of Hell and Heaven are the destiny of these versions.
You are starting to get the basic concepts of Buddism and its essence by pure intuition. Yes, Buddhists strive for enlightenment to attain Nirvana, which is to escape cycle of life, rebirth and reincarnation once and for all. So that you escape repeated suffering of living and dying again and again. Buddhism believes there are many gods in existence, it doesnt deny them but it teaches even gods can be fall a victim to impermance, delusion and suffering. You might not achieve Nirvana in one lifetime but good deeds you did in your many previous lifetime are accumulated towards it. Even Buddha himself had to live a thousand lives (good and bad) to finally reach enlightenment. But only with good deeds you cant reach it, only through your own experiments, practices and mediation that you have a chance to attain it. Well known knowledge like eight-fold paths, knowing that to live is to suffer, separating yourself from worldly attachments and resisting temptations is a good start. And remember, whatever the vile or evil deeds you commited, it has left stained on you through next life until you are paid. You cant wash it off, cleanse it nor apologize it. Sure, you can try to do good deeds but it acts as only to balance the proportion because you will eventually suffer from what you did doesnt matter its a little bad things or big bad things, thats the equilibrium of it. What you give is what you will get. Its a given that your karma will inevitably come back to you in this life or another.
So emo 😢
Well thank you for telling me what type of torture awaits me. I fell soooooo much better.
Good luck 👍
Personally, the best part of this video is the expressions on the faces of the various oni, etcetera: they're not gleeful or joyous or relishing their fun torturing the mortals in their clutches. For them, this is just another day at the job. They're concentrating on doing well in their profession, and I think they like their work, but it's not something that causes them undue pleasure, just the normal satisfaction of a messy job done right, like working as a mechanic, or a plumber.
It is a bit worrying how much time Buddhist monks spent thinking and fantasising about such violent places. Also is it possible to be reincarnated as a demon or any of the others beings that caused suffering in the hells?
That's kind of a hard question to answer and honestly I don't know enough about the whole scope of Buddhism to answer that in a comprehensive manner.
But the short answer is in that at least in some sects of Buddhism, yeah it is.
Also given the most common core ideas in Buddhism I would imagine that most if not all Buddhist sects would say that it is. But it's likely that some of them just don't address the question directly.
I can say that at least in many Chinese and other East Asian sects many of the beasts and demons in hell were reincarnated there.
Usually it's seen as a reward more than a punishment. Well maybe more of a consolation prize than a reward?
Usually they are good innocent people or animals who died from some type of horrible murder or abuse. Then the judges of the dead take pity on them and give them immortal bodies (or as immortal as you get in Buddhism without becoming a Buddha, since even gods are still in the wheel of reincarnation) and then let them work as part of the heavenly bureaucracy as a grunt worker in one of the hell divisions.
So like you were a good faithful vegetarian dog who got beaten to death for no reason. So the hell judge hires you to spend a few trillion eternities mauling animal abusers.
@@TeaSerpent Thanks for this, that does make (some sort of) sense!
@@gregsvoice5628 But I should also point out that if you lived and died horribly from abuse or murder and passed on full of anger or hated or feelings of wanting revenge that you would instead probably be reborn in the animal, preta, or even hell realms.
Or at least that would be a more classical Buddhist take on it.
But you should also keep in mind that Buddhism both influenced and was heavily influenced by folk beliefs in various areas and what little I know comes more from East Asian forms of Buddhism and especially folk religious beliefs related to Buddhism.
When you start talking about specific later period Japanese ideas of the Buddhist hells you are already talking about something that has been heavily influenced by Chinese folk religion and further by local Japanese folk religious beliefs.
Given the heavy Daoist influence in Chinese folk religion which also influenced East Asian Buddhist schools it's also possible some of the East Asian Buddhist sects had hell demons who were full of anger and resentment.
Daoism is full of all kinds of spirits, gods, ghosts, etc. who died horrible deaths while full of anger or negative thoughts and feelings.
One of the big things the celestial bureaucracy and Daoist priests do is to subdue these ghosts and demons and put them to work for the good of heaven.
So if an invading army gets completely massacred and the ghosts of their dead soldiers start attacking local people and doing things like causing plagues and famines, then you have a Daoist do rituals to call down local gods and the heavenly army to subdue them.
Once subdued they get incorporated into one of the divisions of the heavenly army and help to subdue other wild or angry ghosts or demons. In that way their wild and angry energy is harnessed and used for the common good. Also by becoming part of the heavenly troops they are brought into line with the dao and their spirits are purified and cleansed.
Of course you can't subdue every ghost and demon like that. Sometimes the priest or the gods involved are not strong enough or the demon or ghost is just too strong or wild. So there are other ways to either destroy or imprison them.
But given the choice it's seen as better for everyone (including the ghost or demon) to subdue them and make them work for the heavens.
Obviously this is Daoism and Buddhism is different. But similar ideas exist in some Buddhist sects with various angry deities.
Also as mentioned, while many of these ideas of hells originated in Buddhism they became part of local folk religion. So the various hells and hell judges are part of Chinese folk religion and part of the heavenly bureaucracy along with various Daoist gods, heavenly armies, and Buddhas and Bodhisattvas.
The changes in the way these things were viewed by the general population regularly made it back into local Buddhist sects.
So the short answer is yes people can reincarnate into one of the various guards in hell or one of the heavenly functionaries. They can also reincarnate into gods or demons.
At least according to most schools of Buddhism as well as Daoism and East Asian folk religions. (although in terms of Daoism or folk religion it's debatable whether this should be called reincarnation as it's often viewed very differently than in Buddhism.)
But the who, what, when, where, and why details of this will differ by period, location, sect, etc.
Yes but I don't know.For me you can as the whole concept of reincarnation is you can reincarnate into anything in the 31 realms based on your good karma and bad karma.
Please tell me naraka isnt real
I wonder if Dante Alighieri read Budhist Dameonology when writing the Inferno
If he did, he toned it way the hell down.
Maybe he was influenced.
Considering the time period he lived in...no.
Dante's divine Comedy Is based on the concept of the World of the time, the "Aristotelic Cosmology" Who Was predominant during the Middle Age.
Either way, no words can describe how horrifying the Buddhist Hell is compared to the Christian Hell.
“I’ll have you dragged off to the hell where people are skinned alive”!
-Lo Pan
"Chinese People have a lot of Hells"
-Wang Chi
I always wondered how could someone hurt a Buddha, since they're invulnerable. Even before reaching enlightenment, the Buddha was supposed to transform Mara's arrows into flowers before they reached him. Buddhism should teach that you end up in a Hell only if deep inside you want to suffer because you feel guilty. Oh but that's not convenient for the governing Elite to make you meek.
“There are eight Buddhist hells, and we’re going to decide which one you’re going to”
By my estimates, *all of them.*
“ the first subhell is for people who kill deer”
People from the Midwest: haha I’m in danger
Hey Linfamy, now that you've talked about the 8 Buddhist hells would You mind Talking about the Yōmi no kuni, the Shintō hell
Yomi was never really a 'hell' as such. Historically it was a sort of neutral afterlife location, and in modern Shinto it's only really thought of as the place that Izanami-no-mikoto resides, with Shinto not having a specific take on the afterlife as the afterlife in Japan has long been the realm of Buddhism
@@Arviragus13 Ohhh thank you for the aclaration 😊
3:13 "All 8 hells lie BENEATH the EARTH, each one is a cube about 10,000 miles on each side, the lowest one is about 100,000 miles on each side"
*Googles how deep Earth is
*Does some math
*Confused Screaming
4:59 There is an iron wall and fire is burning there
If super hot fire is burning iron then the iron would not "burn" it would "MELT" so the walls would be tumbling... down?
*Confused Scream #2
Actually, these are just metaphors for people to do good.
It's probably not iron but rather a rare type of metal that looks like iron the only exits in that realm that can withstand it's flame,Plus how can a person tell the difference between iron and other type of metal?
So, we know that the Mauryan Empire played a heavy role in the spread of Buddhism (and thus perhaps the development as well), and that the Mauryans were influenced by the Achaemenid Empire, who belonged to the Zoroastrian Faith
Does that mean that Buddhist Concepts of Hell were perhaps influenced by Zoroastrianism?
Most likely, since thats the origin of it in every other religion from that region.
Good question. It's unlikely that anyone watching this will be able to answer. I'd seek out a scholar of Buddhism tbh.
It derives from Hindu traditions
Zoroastrianism could’ve been influenced by Hinduism.
But i think zoroastrianism was more so influenced by Mesopotamian religions than Hinduism. Look up Mesopotamian/Sumerian and Assyrian mythology there’s a lot of similarities with their gods and Zoroastrianism
Cold Buddhist Narakas are metal too; the one I find the most morbidly fascinating is the eighth, the Great Lotus Naraka. Sinners are flogged by winds so cold that their skin freezes, cracks open and exposes their internal organs. Those are then also frozen, and so on and so forth until the sinner is reduced to a shambling, constantly regenerating pile of frozen guts and skin until they work off their bad karma. Brutal stuff.
"Going to the Three Jewels for refuge is a gateway to the light of the Dharma, for it enables one to transcend the three lower realms." - Lalitavistara 🙏

Another great Japanese Buddhist lore video as always Linfamy! I was hoping you’d do this one after watching the 1960s Japanese classic horror movie, Jigoku.
You forgot the 9th level of hell, Brazil.
To put into perspective, trying to endure and survive in the Reviving Hell is like spending a good portion of a red dwarf star's lifespan. Considering they were the longest lasting fuel burning stellar objects in the observable universe, it takes about 10 lifespans of being in that underworld to pass the entire life of one.
8:16 we do a little bit of trolling
Prank em john
I'm still stuck on the fact that there's a hell for everyone who cooks and eats animals
Vegans: Hooray!!
One word
“fish”
Why do they have to make the animals so delicious?
Makes it so hard to avoid this sin. Murder? Nah. Butter Chicken? I WILL BE GOING TO HELL. 🤦♀️
Well, that's the very reason why the Japanese haven't eaten animals for 1500 years. And of course fish and whales are not animals because we didn't have Darwin.
Plants are living things too so there's a h*** for Vegans.. It's called the h*** of hypocrisy
@@flourella4538 KFC would argue with you on that

Another great video! It was a lot of fun to learn more about hell, especially since one of my favorite anime is about this hell presented in the video. Hozuki's Coolheadness (Hozuki No Reitetsu) is an awesome comedy anime about hell and its system. I hope you make more videos about this topic!
Ohh! Another Hozuki fan!
Which character is your favorite btw
@@Limacinablues I like every character but I like Hozuki the most. And yours?
@@ToniiLuxx it’s hard to choose but i like Karashi the most. Also Ichiko and Niko. And the inchling samurai

Is it weird that I find hell and sins in religions really interesting?
Who doesn't 🤷♂️
Not at all, while heavens can have weird or creative ideas they are typically standard (valhala being one of the exceptions) and are filled with "good" spirits which are either holy, or nature spirits
Hell on the other hand can be more unhinged, it's from the mind of its creator, what they view as sins is incorporated into that hell and usually makes it unique. Or is filled with unique beasts based on a concept, sin or just naturally lives there. Hell doesn't even need to have suffering and can just be where the dead reside or a wholely different world entirely
Hell is basically fanfic whatever you imagine, even dantes, he had peoplr and poes he hated there.
Only norse have a good hel, she is just protecting souls in a cave.
No weird mythology is amazing
@@marocat4749 is it considere mythology although it a practiced religion
It’s scary but interesting,keep making those amazing videos about Japanese folklore
Omg 4:04 K oopa is alive forever
For further information on Japanese Hell, watch Hoozuki's Coolheadedness. Also, I have a feeling Linfamy only made this video for the pun at the end.
👀
That anime taught me about the Softbank dog.
And people think they need to localize away references in media. How else am I supposed to head down an amusing and adorable hours-long rabbit hole just to understand a brief gag in a show that already requires I know about another folk tale just to get the setup?
I NEED to take the time to highlight how most YT videos start with so much fluff and intro BS for whatever reason, how unappealing it's all always been to me. How being asked to like, comment, and subscribe has the adverse effect on my likelyhood to do so. And then this channel, the first 5 seconds i'm fully plunged into exactly what the title says, no BS. This channel is a gem for many reasons and this is among those reasons.
After having watched a few of these, this dude is carrying around lot of childhood issues😳
haha, this is why i love the anime and manga "Hozuki's Coolheadedness" or "Hōzuki no Reitetsu". It was such a weird show but I found all the lighthearted gruesomeness so endearing :p
I was scrolling through expecting many comments about Hoozuki no Reitetsu. I love that series!! It's so informative and funny. The upbeat opening is the best!
Now I really want a Soulsborne or roguelite game where you try to survive the different layers of Buddhist hell to redeem yourself and get reincarnated.
There is the dante inferno game, but that would make for a great game.
@@marocat4749 I adore Dante’s Inferno so maybe that’s why I like the idea so much. 😂
Theres already a movie for that (i think it counts aw buddhist hell????)
Thank the Kami that Linfamy has posted right when the world is poised on the brink of disaster! I'm sure the Buddhist Hells don't have a Chernobyl-yet. They're safer than the real world atm. I wonder if Hozuki and I could work out an exchange deal.
I know one world leader who's going to hell...
@@Linfamy can think of several
So I'm not the only one who immediately thought of hozuki lol
@@Linfamy I wonder if he gets his own hell?
I understood that reference
The many hells invented by humanity say a lot regarding our trend for disproportionate retributions, and the idea even reformation requires torture.
I like that the idea of "You made this hell for yourself" or in this case others who did the same thing
So if you go to hell for hurting children, were chigo and their relationships with monks an exception?
They didn't consider chigo relationships hurting children.
@@Linfamy unlike, in Abrahmic faiths anyone who does bad deeds get sent to hell. There is no exception no matter your position.
@@gamingdragon1356 It’s perspective really. What is considered a bad deed changes.
@@AdwinLauYuTan Well everything is perspective even our law works on perspective so cosmic law should work on some perspective as well.
@@gamingdragon1356 Exactly.
So reviving hell is kind of like a dark souls game, including getting back up after death and poison swamps?
I was learning to drive and I stumped on a turtle crushing it, I didn't know there's literally a special kind of hell for me.
Oof sorry
Finally a video that accurately describes what you experience at waiting in line at the DMV.

As a buddish who did a study on the religion itself, pure form of buddism do not believe in hell but rather a birth cycle, you will kept rebirth and being miserable/thing happened through your life until you found enlightenment, these hell you are seeing in this video are influenced by other religions such as hindu.
Buddhism was founded by a hindu prince, so it would have a lot in common.

There is a poetic truth in the idea that people can create their own personal hells... because we tend to do exactly that.
They really made a hell specifically for wine dilluters 😭
From what I understand about the nature of Buddhist Reincarnation. The state of the person is ever-changing and there is no immortal soul or mind. Therefore it's less of you GOING to Hell but more of what remains of you after you die to go to Hell. Buddhism is all about the long-term goal of Nirvana for the physical existence for the sum of one's parts, not inherently to achieve a personal mental stimulation like a Heaven. When what becomes of you goes to Hell, there is no proper you to actually perceive the Hell, a new life was just created from what was once you. Going to Hell is an eventual and necessary step in the wheel of Samsara just like all the other stages.
"You fall further than the British empire" So true lol 🤣

0:35 According to Dante's inferno, we basically have 7 hells.
Edit: There is no longer a "we".
That's a work of fiction. Why do people think that's a religious/spiritual work? I don't get it. It was never meant to be taken that way. I mean obviously it deals with those subjects but it isn't a theological treatise or a Scripture or something.
@@barbieblues7639 I said according to Dante's inferno not just "We have 7 hells." And yes it is a work of fiction, but it is very iconic.
I thought there were 9 levels of Hell in Dante's Inferno
I wonder if the hell for people who water down wine was due to the fact that wine was often much safer to drink than water before our modern understanding of bacteria, so people who watered down wine risked getting others sick, often times a death sentence back then, hence the “404 diseases” as punishment.
_"Iron fangs?"_
