“Mendicants, there is a hell called ‘The Great Scorching’. There, whatever sight you see with your eye is unlikable, not likable; undesirable, not desirable; unpleasant, not pleasant. Whatever sound you hear … Whatever odor you smell … Whatever flavor you taste … Whatever touch you feel …
Whatever idea you know with your mind is unlikable, not likable; undesirable, not desirable; unpleasant, not pleasant.” When he said this, one of the mendicants said to the Buddha, “Sir, that scorching really is mighty, so very mighty.

They’re not freed from rebirth, old age, and death, from sorrow, lamentation, pain, sadness, and distress. They’re not freed from suffering, I say. There are ascetics and brahmins who truly understand about suffering, its origin, its cessation, and the path.
