Details- We are already in Hell. No Question. If you are alive and kicking on this Earth. You are already in Hell. Your Karma has put you here. The only escape is by purification. The cycle of Birth and Death is almost inescapable. When you are in Hell. It never ceases to amaze me that people don't realize that they are already in Hell. They go about their mundane existence, never realizing that are already condemmed. The only recourse for the bad Karma that put you in Hell in the first place is to lead a pure and clean life. You can find this tool in the teachings of the Buddah. He escaped this round robin. He is a light in the sky. An example to follow. That's what a Buddah does. They dive into Hell and take out the souls that they can. A great sacrifice for a soul that must sully themselves in our wickedness. They were unsalvageable at some point but managed to redeem themselves and achieve enlightenment. Follow them. They are the teachers. They have blazed the path.

You sound like a tense guy. Not surprising. The world is quite tense.
I hope that you are following the Teachers example and meditating. When you have some inner peace you see that this place (in spite of the physical conditions) is as much heaven as hell (depending on your state of mind and emotions) and that balance is what creates the opportunity to escape (or not). No one is condemned. People (my observation) do not leave the cycle of karma running like hell from the hell the perceive (fear doesn't open the door to peace), they float away when they have reached a sufficient state of peace with everything.
It isn't hell...it's opportunity.....to make of it what you will in your thoughts and actions. Both for your own reward and the reward of others.

If you follow anyone it makes you an idiot!
Hell is this: to be in heaven and see it as hell!
Using words like karma are meaningless.
If you escape anything it means you are not facing it!
What is the me that is amazed?
They dive into hell and take out the souls????
How complicated you are why?

Well first you must realize that you must have a brain to feel pain.
This is logical, if you kick a tree it will not feel pain. It has no aspect of what pain really is. It will not scream out stop kicking me, because it is inaminate life.
Every one thinks Hell is a painful place with fire and devils poking you in the back with pitch forks.
Its not like you have a back when you die, its not like you have eyes to see when you die, or hands to feel when you die.
Your brain is gone with out a brain you can not see.
A blind person can not see, this because his eyes do work, or a part of his brain does not work.
Its like cutting off your arm, and expecting to move it. You can't move it because it is not attached to your brain.
How then can any one see when they are dead, since they lack a brain funticion to see.
Its not just seeing that we would have to do in the after death, but also feel. We can't feel anything unless we have a stysem of functions that lets us feel with electiric impluses.
For people that are sensory paralyzed they can put there hand on a hot stove, the stove will burn them but they can not feel it.
It all about the brain, with out it there is no life.
So to me this life on earth can either be heaven or hell, Jesus I believe went to place that is infact like a heaven.
Think about this Jesus was in flesh when he rose to the sky in a cloud, his fleash would be 2,000 years old this year.

life is not hell, but it is meaningless, for it is true the dead,
who had already died, are happier than the living, who are still alive. But better than both is he who has not yet been, who has not seen the evil that is done under the sun (Ecclesiastes 4:2). one of me new favorite books of the bible, anyways life is meaningless, and it is because of that we feel the need to be self destructive, because death is a guaranteed fate, and requires little work.
The other thing we do is act, every human on this earth is acting out role they've made up in the heads, even me, and we create stresses trying to stick to our roles, which makes life feel like hell.
Now it is because we stick to these roles, and allow them to play out, that we don't want to find our own true meaning, as a whole, now I offer up new understanding, well as said in Ecclesiastes what has been....., it has been offered up that we can look at the world and cry as a wise man, or we can blind ourselves in folly, drugs, or what have you, or we can leave this earth better then we found it, we as humans can not act out life, or death, but in between is ours, and everything we do now will effect those in the future, so we can be wise and cry or a fool and folly, but if we do not do nothing, there will all ways be fools who folly, and wise that cry.

Bit Cryptic might I say. Only those who believe they are in Hell on Earth are in Hell on Earth. It's all in the mind set for many not all however. You can choose to be happy or you can choose to be upset. Be enlightened not demented. Isn't that apart of the teachings of Buddha?

Anybody that actively preaches Buddhist philosophy to those who haven't asked for it has failed to grasp what Buddhism is all about. The Buddha never preached-he made himself available to those seeking knowledge. If you have aspirations of being a Buddhist you should follow that example.

Why were we put upon this Earth if not to live here? This is not Hell. It is a place of great wonder and magick for those who can see it. If you cannot, then I feel sorry for the joyless and gray life you must lead.

This is not the place to preach. This is a site for questions. BTW, you are wrong. Have a good day. And, death is not "almost" inescapable...it IS inescapable.

There's something to back you up on this one. The christian book says, 'love not the world nor anything in the world' and 'Satan is the lord of this world'. If so, then this world must be hell, because Satan is the master of hell?
