What Happens To ........ (Part 2) : An Evil-Doer

What Happens To ........ (Part 2) : An Evil-Doer


The various hells are the most painful locations of the level of sensuality.

Among their special torments is the induced anticipation of respite and release - an anticipation repeatedly thwarted.


'Bhikkhus, the fool/evil-doer misbehaving by body, speech and mind, at the break up of the body after death, goes to decrease, is born in hell.

The warders of hell give him the Fivefold Binding :

That is two hot iron spikes are sent through his two palms, and two other hot spikes are sent through his two feet and the fifth hot iron spike is sent through his chest.

On account of this he experiences sharp piercing unpleasant feelings.

Yet he does not die until his demerit finishes.


Next the warders of hell conduct him and Hammer him.

On account of this he experiences sharp piercing unpleasant feelings.

Yet he does not die until his demerit finishes.


Next the warders of hell take him upside down and Cut him with a Knife.

On account of this too he experiences sharp piercing unpleasant feelings.

Yet he does not die until his demerit finishes.


Next the warders of hell yoke him to a cart and make him go to and fro on a ground that is Flaming and Ablaze.

On account of this too he experiences sharp piercing unpleasant feelings.

Yet he does not die until his demerit finishes.


Next the warders of hell make him ascend and descend a rock of Burning Ambers.

On account of this he experiences sharp piercing unpleasant feelings.

Yet he does not die until his demerit finishes.


Next the warders of hell throw him upside down into a boiling, Blazing pot of Molten.

There he is cooked in the molten scum, and he on his own accord dives in, comes up and goes across in the molten pot.

On account of this too he experiences sharp piercing unpleasant feelings.

Yet he does not die until his demerit finishes.


Next the warders of hell throw him to the Great Hell.

The square Great Hell has four gates and is divided in two - Enclosed by iron walls, is closed with an iron lid.

The floor spreads for seven hundred miles,

And it stands there everyday.

A fire springs from the eastern wall of the Great Hell to scorch the western wall.

A fire springs from the western wall to scorch the eastern wall.

A fire springs from the northern wall to scorch the southern wall.

A fire springs from the southern wall to scorch the northern wall.

A fire springs from the bottom to scorch the top and a fire springs from the top to scorch the bottom.

There he experiences sharp piercing unpleasant feelings, yet he does not die until his demerit comes to an end.


Bhikkhus, after the lapse of a very long time, it happens that the eastern door of the Great Hell opens.

Then he runs with great speed, in doing so he burns his outer skin, inner skin, flesh, nerves, and even the bones smoke even if he pulls himself out, it happens.

When he finally gets there, the door slams shut.

There he experiences sharp piercing unpleasant feelings, yet he does not die until his demerit comes to an end.

Then the warders of hell pull him out with a hook and ask him.

'Good man, what do you desire?’

He says, 'Sir, I'm hungry.’

The warders of hell open his mouth with hot iron spikes and pour into his mouth burning, Flaming Iron Balls.

They burn his lips, mouth, throat, chest, the intestines, the lower intestines and they come out with the insides.

In the past to the King of the Under World it occurred thus :

"To those who do evil in the world, these various punishments above are given.

O! If I gain humanity.

O! If the Thus Gone One, perfect and rightfully enlightened is born in the world.

O! I should associate That Blessed One.

O! The Blessed One should teach me and I should know That Teaching."


'Bhikkhus, I say this NOT hearing from another recluse or brahmin or contemplative.

On the contrary, I tell you this just as I have known for myself, seen for myself, penetrated for myself

And so I say it.’
