Avici
Avīci ( Sanskrit and Pali , adj., अवीचि, for “without waves”, “without standstill”, “without relaxation”, “no rest”, “no refuge ” or “low point” - Chinese 無間 地獄 , Pinyin Wújiàn dìyù and 阿鼻地獄 , Ābí dìyù ) denotes the deepest level of Buddhist hell , which is reached by those who have died who have committed the most serious crimes. This includes crimes such as premeditated father or mother murder or the bloodshed of a Buddha .
Karma for rebirth in this hell collects:
- Whoever brings about a schism of the Sangha (intentionally)
- Whoever deliberately kills his father
- Whoever deliberately kills his mother
- Whoever deliberately sheds the blood of a Buddha
- Who intentionally kills an arhat .
Since there is no concept of an eternal hell or an eternal heaven in the cyclical cosmology of Buddhism, the time of punishment in Avici is considered to be limited, but it is thought to be the longest lasting. Avici is mentioned several times in the Lotus Sutra .
The musician Avicii had named himself afterwards because another user already used his real name in Myspace .
