Wang Saen Suk Hell Garden, near Bangkok, Thailand - 25 Nov 2011
Mandatory Credit: Photo by Amos Chapple / Rex Features (1516596r)
A Trip To Buddhist Hell
Walking through the Wang Saen Suk Monastery garden offers a chilling trip through Buddhist hell.
Located around 100 miles from Bangkok, the gardens are home to a host of gruesome sculptures that illustrate the exact punishments meted out to sinners.
At the entrance visitors are greeted by a brightly coloured sign proclaiming "Welcome To Hell".
Beyond is a maze of nightmarish visions of torsos being sawn, people being boiled and birds pecking at entrails.
According to Buddhism, when you die you must face four celestial beings who examine all the good and bad deeds you carried out during your life.
If the good outweigh the bad you will go to heaven, but if your bad deeds are more numerous you will be punished.
Those condemned to the 'hell realms' are given specific punishments for a finite amount of time (usually many thousands of years).
They remain in hell until they have worked off their accumulated karma and are allowed up to a higher realm of life.
The centrepiece of the Wang Saen Suk hell garden is a pair of giant emaciated sinners - one male and one female - with long tongues hanging down to their waists.
Nearby, a parade of frightening life-size figures with animal heads show what happens to people who carry out certain sins.
For example, thieves are transformed into monkeys, the dishonest into toads and the corrupt into pigs.
Venturing further into the garden reveals grotesque scenes showing what fate befalls those who break the five central Buddhist precepts.
As such, those who kill, cheat, steal, commit adultery, or get hooked on gambling, drugs or alcohol are shown suffering various painful torments.
Meanwhile, one woman is shown being squeezed in a giant vice for the sin of practising birth control or having had an abortion.
Another is speared...
