Tibetan Buddhism Wheel Of Life 06 06-1 Hell Beings [9 of 9]
The sector at the very bottom depicts hell, shown as a place of intense pain and torment, where its victims are subjected to the most excruciating tortures. Normally hell is divided into 8 hot hells, 8 cold hells, and minor hells. Hell could also represent acute mental suffering, maybe even insanity. Yama holds a mirror to reflect our mind and past actions, and a set of scales for us to measure the causes of our hatred and anger and their negative effects. The blue coloured Buddha offers the hell beings nectar, which gives them ease from their mental torture.
