Hell of incessant suffering
Tibetan Buddhist Encyclopedia is now 14 years old
Our Encyclopedia recently received a wonderful opportunity for a major renewal on its 14th birthday . After many years of growing our Encyclopedia had become bit slow and sometimes even decided not to answer when people knocked on the door.
A very big thank you and blessings to Dmytro Rudiy (rudiy.nl) for his great work in upgrading the server, website and all of the infrastructure and helping make TBE fast and reliable again for everyone!
We kindly ask our readers to help us cover the cost of this important upgrade and also help with the ongoing costs of keeping the Encyclopedia alive and freely available.

hell of incessant suffering
無間地獄 (Skt, Pali Avichi; Jpn Muken-jigoku)
Also, Avichi hell. The eighth and most horrible of the eight hot hells. It is so called because its inhabitants are said to suffer without a moment's respite. This hell is often referred to as the great citadel of the hell of incessant suffering because seven iron walls surround it so that no one can escape. The hell of incessant suffering is situated at the lowest level of the world of desire. It measures eighty thousand yojanas (twenty thousand yojanas according to another source) on each side. Those who commit even one of the five cardinal sins or slander the correct teaching are said to fall into this hell.
