Buddhism and Catholicism.

THE Buddhist books maintain the existence of sixty-three small hells and one large one. At death the wicked are plunged into one of the smaller hells, but soon after death the sinner may be delivered through the prayers of the priests. If this is neglected, he passes into the large hell, and remains there forever. This is the common opinion, although some believe that after a time all will be saved by the goddess of mercy.
