At 15:50 you mentioned "Hell is not a physical place ..." but in the Devadutta Sutta MN 130, Buddha in that discourse seemed to described the sufferings that took place in the hell realm, adding ""I tell you this, monks, not from having heard it from another contemplative or brahman. On the contrary, I tell you this just as I have known for myself, seen for myself, understood for myself." Sounds like Hell Realm is as real as the Human realm. I have heard many times some dhamma teachers refer the 6 realms as metaphors for life on earth, but I don't think that accord with the intent of Buddha's teachings.

Thank you
