Title:
Burma / Myanmar: The Buddhist hell ngaye< / i> or naraka< / i> as represented in Burmese folk art, from The Thirty Seven Nats< / i>, Sir Richard Carnac Temple,1906
Caption:
Naraka (Sanskrit; Pali: Niraya) is a term in Buddhist cosmology usually referred to in English as 'hell'. The Naraka of Buddhism is closely related to Diyu, the hell of Chinese mythology.
. A Naraka differs from the hell of Christianity in two respects: firstly, beings are not sent to Naraka as the result of a divine judgment and punishment; secondly, the length of a being's stay in a Naraka is not eternal, though it is usually very long.
