Hell of the crimson lotus
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 the crimson lotus
紅蓮地獄 (Skt Padma; Jpn Guren-jigoku)
One of the eight cold hells. It is said that the intense cold of this hell makes one's flesh crack open so that it has the appearance of crimson lotus flowers. According to The Great Commentary on the Abhidharma and The Dharma Analysis Treasury, this hell and the hell of the great crimson lotus constitute the seventh and the eighth of the eight cold hells. The Sanskrit word padma means lotus flower or red lotus flower.
