Thank you Element for taking the time to write this great answer.
I haven't been to this forum for long, but I can already say it is very nice and I have received a warm welcome. Thank you very much to all of you in BuddhismWithoutBoundaries.

imo, Thich Nath Hanh possibly said this because generally we have all suffered before finding Buddhism. Yes it would be one explanation. Thich Nath Hanh also often says things like "when you are with your girlfriend, do not believe she is there just for you, she is everywhere at the same time" and "When I can't sleep, I practice mindfulness and focus on my breath, thus I can embrace and love the whole world". Thay obviously likes the idea we are connected to the whole world, so peraphs his idea extends to the belief we also are connected with hell"

Geshe Kelsang Gyatso in "The joyfull Path" says "We've all seen violence in our lives, we all know chaos can remain in one place for a while, we should not doubt the fact there is another place where chaos is permanent".

He seems to believe all realms of existence are somehow interlocked. This would fit with Thay belief of one's being everywhere at the same time.

Would you happen to know other books such as Chogyam Trungpa "Bardo" about death and how your spirit state while dying is influential on how you cross bardo ? (apart from the Tibetan Books Of The Dead)

If you haven't read it already, I recommand Sogyal Rimpoche's "The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying". http://www.rigpa.org/en/about-sogyal...and-dying.html

Thanks again for your answer
