Leírás és Paraméterek
In this book we present a xylograph edition based on the three copies kept in Hungary. Nearly the entire text of the blockprint was taken over from the Kanjur: T. ‘Phags-pa dam-pa’i chos dran-pa nye-bar gzhag-pa mentioned in the Mongolian texts as Dranbanyershag. M. Qutuy-tu degedü-yin nom-i duradqui oyir-a ayulqui, Skr. Árya-saddharmánusmétyupasthána. Some parts were taken from other sources: the Vinayavastu, T. Dul-ba gzhi, the ‘Jangs-blun and the Lam-rim.
The description and illustration of hell is popular all around the world, many early representations appear in India (cf. the Garuda-purána), and also in Buddhism, most popular being the bhavacakra, (T. srid-pa’i khor-lo), the illustration of the six realms of existence in which living beings can be incamated. One of them is hell. The symbolic representation of possible births forms a circle. Among Buddhist seriptures it appears first in Divyávadána, probably based on an early Vinaya text. In European literature hell-descriptions go back to ancient times, but the most popular is the Divina Commedia written later, in 1310–1314, by Dante Alighieri.
