In the Buddhist religion we believe hell is a state of mind, one of the six in this world. Does any other religion share this belief?
An Excerpt from the "Tibetan Book of the Dead":
We can begin with he realm of hell, which is the most intense. First there is a build-up of energies, of emotions, to a crescendo, so that at some stage we find it very confusing whether he energies are controlling us or we are controlling them. Then suddenly we lose track of this whole race, and our mind is put into blank state which is the luminosity. From that blank state an intense temptation to fight begins to develop, and that paranoia also brings terror. Originally the paranoia and terror were supposed to fight against something, but one is not quite certain whom exactly one is fighting; and when the whole thing has developed, the terror begins to turn against oneself. When one tries to strike out, instead of striking the projection one is striking inward.

This is based on the Tibetan belief that hen you die youe first are full of emotions, then your mind is wiped blank by visions, and your reaction to the emptiness determines your attitude in the next life.

yes, also Christians believe that hell is a state of mind. In the past it was represented as a place because people were ignorant about spirituality, but now it is considered as a state of mind, the death of the soul.

It is the only thing hell could be. We've tunneled under the earth and found no inferno of dante's ilk.
