Can any buddhist tell me is it true that buddhism preaches/believes that pluto is hell?
To what I read and was told hell is very dark. By reading the article below we know Pluto is not dark.
Pluto turning brighter and redder, pictures show
Reuters - 5 February 2010
WASHINGTON, USA - Pluto is turning brighter and redder as its 248-year-long rotation around the sun changes its seasons, NASA reported on Thursday.
The U.S. space agency released new images taken by the orbiting Hubble space telescope that show Pluto's northern hemisphere growing brighter and the entire planet looking redder.
'These changes are most likely consequences of surface ice melting on the sunlit pole and then refreezing on the other pole, as the dwarf planet heads into the next phase of its 248-year-long seasonal cycle,' NASA'S Space Telescope Science Institute in Baltimore said in a statement.
More pictures of Pluto, which has been demoted to a minor planet, can be seen at http: hubblesite.org/news/2010/06.<!-- TITLE : end--><!-- <br><font class="bodytext">Its 248-year-long rotation around the sun changes its seasons. -Reuters</font> -->

If I am not wrong it is Taoism that stated that there are 18 levels of hell.
Something like ppple will be burnt according the sin they committed . And they was locked up and dont have any freedom. Yeah that is taoism.

No such thing. Where you heard from?
Hell is a mental realm, not a physical location. But the realm is very real.

Heard from an acquaintance who practises Theravada buddhism.
Anyway, it is confusing and unbelievable that hell is pluto

Care to explain mental realm? Thanks bro!
in western canons, Pluto is hell..represents the underworld..but asian mythologies have different conception...to understand further, the names of planets are named after much greek mythologies....
in asian mythologies, it is clearly heaven and hell demarcation - and in all cultures, hell represents the underworld....so it shares similarities...except that Pluto is the coldest planet while hell for asians is filled with boiling fires.....

It is a projection of the mind, not a physical place.
Pluto is just a planet. Nothing else.

Actually in Buddhism, there are 8 cold hells and 8 hot hells.

Except real pain is felt, the suffering is tremendous, and is not comparable to any nightmares you have.

Confusing: one buddhist says projection of the mind, not a physical place, the other one told me pluto is hell
Oh my dear! Very scary.
Commit more sin, will be more pain. Right to say that?
Even treating parents no good will also accumulate bad karma = hell sufferring.

Not all believe in bad karma = hell suffering.
Come across a person who goes round breaking relationship, spread malicious gossip, backstabbing and so on don't believe it.

You can ask around, no other Buddhist will tell you that pluto is hell. That is an unscriptural statement. Furthermore, how does he know pluto is hell, and not Uranus, Neptune, Jupiter? Has he been to Pluto?
He should not anyhow say things he don't know. That creates bad karma.

That person will unknowingly accumulate bad karma. He will suffer when he died.
Too much sin committed.
do not rule out the possibilities of ESP - extra sensory perception...
there are people who possess such abilities, and often amazed us with their powers of predictions or projections if you would use that term...
paranormal experiences are well documented in history....

Avici Hell, one of the hot hells, is the most siong, but not that others are a walk in the park.
Those who make the following five offences fall into Avici Hell for an uncountably long period of time:
As for the list of hells:
Cold Hells
Each lifetime in these Narakas is twenty times the length of the one before it.
Hot Hells

He mentioned about in buddhism Mars and other planets are blah blah blah. I questioned him if buddhism is corporating horoscope/astrology in the belief.
