- quote -
Avīci
In Buddhism, Avīci (Sanskrit and Pali for "without waves" – Japanese and Chinese: 無間地獄, Wújiàn dìyù and 阿鼻地獄, Ābí dìyù) or Avichi,
is the lowest Level of the Naraka or "hell" realm, into which the dead who have committed grave misdeeds may be reborn. It is said to be a cube 20,000 yojanas (120,000 to 300,000 kilometres) to a side, buried deep underneath the divine (nonvisible) earth. Avīci is often translated into English as "interminable" or "incessant", due to the idea that those beings that have been sent there languish there eternally. The other hells function more like Purgatory, where after perhaps a few aeons of suffering, one might be reborn as some sort of lowly life-form in a somewhat less horrible place; but, those sent to Avīci Hell are thought to be hopeless of any respite.

----- Eternity in Hell
Buddhism teaches that rebirth into Naraka is temporary, while the offenders works off the karma they garnered in life. Rebirth into Avīci hell is not eternal. However, the Lotus Sutra provides an example of humans who have to endure long-term suffering in Avīci. Some sutras state that rebirth in Avīci will be for innumerable kalpas (aeons). When the offender passes away after one kalpa, it is reborn in the same place, suffering for another kalpa, and on and on until it has exhausted its bad karma.
For this reason, Avīci hell is also known as the "non-stop way" (無間道).

THE LARGER SUTRA MANDALA
Immeasurable Pain in the Three Evil Paths




The bottom panel shows painful retributions of evil acts. In the right is the realm of animals; one can see animals and birds fighting each other for survival. Next, below it in the corner is the realm of hungry spirits, who suffer from hunger and thirst ; as soon as they want to drink water, it turns into flames.

The eight scorching hells are depicted in the most realistic touch:

First, the hell of "All Reviving" (1), where sinners undergo interminable pain; when they die, the guard revives them and forces them to receive further pain.

Second, the hell of "Black Rope" (2), where sinners are forced to walk on the red-hot iron ropes; when they fall off, a great mass of fire burns them. Also, a red-hot iron rope is tied around the sinner and the guard cuts the body along the rope.

Third, the hell of "Crushing Mountains" (3), where sinners are hung upside down, crushed with a rock, or are chasing after women only to be cut by the sharp edges of the leaves.

Fourth, the hell of "Shrieking" (4), where sinners are driven into flames, or red-hot iron bars are forced into their mouths, or their intestines are pulled out.

Fifth, the hell of "Scorching" (5), where sinners are fried in huge flames.

Sixth, the hell of "Great Shrieking" (6), where sinners are tied to stakes and the guards pull out their tongues with red-hot iron pincers.

Seventh, the hell of "Great Scorching" (7), where sinners are burnt alive in a huge mass of fire.

Eighth, the hell of "Uninterrupted Torment" (Avici) (8), where big dogs, pythons and monsters with many heads vomit volumes of flame to burn the sinners. In the Larger Sutra there is no description of hell, but the artist depicted it based on Genshin's Ojoyoshu.
