LOL, I am much more sane and think much clearer than you.
I am much more aware of what's going on than you can ever imagine.
No, no, life is not an illusion. It is dangerous to think that way. It is what you perceive of as self-existing and permanent that is an illusion. If one think that life is an illusion, one may go on to deny the things that we experience in life.
oic.. thanks for enlightenment.
so Osama Bin Laden, when he die, will go to which hell?
so saddam hussein has been dead for a few year, as is hitler, dead for so many decades, are at which hell now?
SO IS LIFE AN ILLUSION OR NOT? Just a simple answer,YES OR NO, no need for long cut and pastes!

Life is real, THE WAY YOU SEE AND INTERPRET LIFE IS ILLUSORY!
there are so many myths and speculations. some said that hell is located at the inner crusts of earth, cos it is so hot.
Yes the core of the Earth is hotter than the surface of the Sun, 12000 degrees celcius.
A lot of ancient cultures actually believe that earth is hollow.
Hell, Hades or the underworld was believed to be a physical place, and recently(modern times), there was hoax circulating of geologist in Siberia recorded voices coming from hell, from the core of the earth.

The Core
The inner part of the earth is the core. This part of the earth is about 1,800 miles (2,900 km) below the earth's surface. The core is a dense ball of the elements iron and nickel. It is divided into two layers, the inner core and the outer core. The inner core - the center of earth - is solid and about 780 miles (1,250 km ) thick. The outer core is so hot that the metal is always molten, but the inner core pressures are so great that it cannot melt, even though temperatures there reach 6700ºF (3700ºC). The outer core is about 1,370 miles (2,200 km) thick. Because the earth rotates, the outer core spins around the inner core and that causes the earth's magnetism.
What does the core consist of?
Inner core:
It is 3,200 - 3,960 miles (5,150-6,370 km) below the earth's surface and mainly consists of iron, nickel and some lighter elements (probably sulphur, carbon, oxygen, silicon and potassium. The temperature in the inner core is about 9032 - 10832 ºF (5000-6000 ºC). Because of the high pressure, the core is solid. The average density of the core is about 15g/cm³.
Outer core:
The outer core is at 1,800 - 3,200 miles (2,890-5,150 km) below the earth's surface. The outer core is liquid and mainly consists of iron, some nickel and about 10% sulphur and oxygen. The temperature in the outer core is about 7200 - 9032 ºF (4000-5000ºC). The density of the outer core is between the 10g/cm³ and 12,3g/cm³. The outer core and inner core together cause the earth's magnetism.

What Influence does the Core have? Because the core is so hot, it radiates a natural heat to the upper layers. Because of this a current of heat comes into being. Those are also known as the convection currents. The convection currents cause the movement of the tectonic plates. This movement is called plate tectonics. The outer core and the inner core together cause the earth's magnetism. Because the earth rotates, the outer core spins, the inner core doesn't spin because it's solid. This gives a kind of dynamo effect and causes the earth's magnetism. Magnetism has been used by sailors to find their way on earth for thousands and thousands of years. Magnetism also influences electro-particles outside the atmosphere of the earth, up to more than 37,000 miles (60,000 km) into space |

Oh yah...
how about Di Zang Wang Pu Sa...?
the cold and hot hells never mentioned him... I think the cold/hot is Tibetan side
Di Zang Wang is Mahayana right? 18 Levels of Hell?

Cold and hot hells is taught from the earliest form of Buddhism, Theravada Buddhism, and also in all other traditions including Mahayana and Tibetan.
As for Di Zang Wang, yes he is Mahayana.
Ksitigarbha (Sanskrit: क�षितिगर�ठKṣitigarbha) is a bodhisattva primarily revered in East Asian Buddhism, usually depicted as a Buddhist monk in the Orient. The name may be translated as "Earth Treasury", "Earth Store", "Earth Matrix", or "Earth Womb." Ksitigarbha is known for his vow to take responsibility for the instruction of all beings in the six worlds, in the era between the death of Gautama (Shakyamuni) Buddha and the rise of Maitreya Buddha, as well as his vow not to achieve Buddhahood until all hells are emptied. He is therefore often regarded as outstandingly the bodhisattva of hell beings. Usually depicted as a monk with a nimbus around his shaved head, he carries a staff to force open the gates of hell and a wish-fulfilling jewel to light up the darkness.

Oh .. i see... Coz i saw the jpeg of the hot/cold hells in tibetan tangka... ��?
got a impression that the hot/cold hells idea came from Tibet... mistaken lol
hot/cold hells idea
to what i know, it's something "like" the other thread :-

When you die, please let go of all attachments and beware of spirits and ghosts pretending to be your relatives... this is dangerous.
as one feel hotness and coldness during this time, and when ever it felt hot, one would normally want to escape the hotness and then when it manifest a colder place, u'll move to the colder place. and if u felt cold, u will wish to go to some place hotter per se.

That is what I am trying to say in another thread.
When one being died, one soul would left the body and all spirits and ghost will transforn into yr relatives and wanted to ask for your hand to follow them.
