hell realm
Infernal plane below
In Buddhist cosmology, the hell realm is one of six realms of existence where beings suffer intense torment as a result of harmful actions in previous lives.
Unlike the permanent Christian hell, it's a temporary state—beings eventually exhaust their negative karma and are reborn elsewhere.
The term extends to any state of extreme suffering or anguish: Depression can feel like being trapped in a hell realm.
