Buddha said: people who suffer in endless hell will never disappear, and eternal life is the greatest pain in endless hell.

People who live in harmony will never die, and longevity is a catastrophe in a harmonious hell. From Nirvana Sutra, Volume 19:

Buddha said: you will never die if you are in harmony with your body. Longevity is a great disaster if you are in harmony with hell. No words, no nose, no time, no space, infinite karma. There are three kinds of harmony: harmony in time, harmony in space and harmony in industry. Those who commit disobedience will fall into this world forever and suffer the ultimate harmony.

Translation:

Buddha said: people who suffer in endless hell will never be erased, and eternal life is the greatest pain in endless hell.

("A" means nothing, "nose" means space, and A-nose means infinity, which is Sanskrit)

Endless hell is called endless because there is no uninterrupted time and space to replace it, and people in it will suffer uninterrupted pain (retribution). Unfaithful and unfilial people, rebellious people, will all fall into this place and suffer this pain forever.

The most painful of the eight layers of hell is called "endless hell", which will continue to bear great pain, so it is called "endless hell". Anyone who is thrown into endless hell will never have the hope of liberation, and will experience five kinds of infinity. First, "time is endless" is suffering all the time. The two "empty" at the bottom suffered from head to toe. Third, "there is no shortage of instruments of torture", and all kinds of instruments of torture are used. Fourth, men and women do not take care of the "equal" punishment. Fifth, "life and death are inseparable", and repeated deaths have to continue to be punished.

Extended data:

1, Nirvana Sutra is not well known today, even many people don't know it. However, it caused an uproar in the history of Buddhism, and its views profoundly influenced several major sects of Buddhism. The concept of "Buddha nature" mentioned in Nirvana Sutra triggered a great debate in the Jin Dynasty, and later it deeply influenced Zen. Today, we can see the four characters "I am always happy and clean" in many temples, which is the charm of the Great Nirvana Sutra.

2. When the Chinese version of Nirvana Sutra was first published, it was translated by Fa Xian and others. At that time, the title of Nirvana Sutra was translated into huán Sutra, which is another transliteration of Nirvana. Fa Xianben is not a complete translation, but only a small part at the beginning of the book. However, this little content had a great influence on the Buddhist circles in China at that time.
