SEGMENTED HELL. While the surviving texts vary somewhat in their enumeration and naming of the Buddhist hells, from the earliest examples there is a clear indication that Buddhist hell was conceived of as a series of eight hells, one above the other, each with sixteen secondary hells, four at each of the four gates of the great hells — or 136 hells in total. Tibetan traditions add another eight major hells, layering eight cold hells above the eight standard hot hells, all having sixteen secondary hells — or 272 hells.
