Are there casinos in the Realm of Hell? Where will gamblers go after they passed away?

《TBSky News Golden Words》 https://www.facebook.com/TBSkyNews

We know there are casino in human realm.
Such as casinos in Las Vegas, Atlantic City and Reno in US, casinos in Macau and other casinos around the world.

Someone asked me: "Are there casinos in the Realm of Hell?"

I replied: "Yes."

Those who like to gamble would be very happy when they hear there is indeed a casino in the netherworld.
However, I asked them hold their happiness until I finished my story.

According to my knowledge: There is a "Mahjong City" in the Netharworld, once one enters the Mahjong City, they will hear the endless mahjong's "crackling" noises.
There are many gamblers in the city, gambler comes one after the other continuously, the Mahjong City is very famous worldwide.

There is a verse on the city gate:
The wealthy people will fall from here.
Don't come in, nobody wins as you surely will lose.

Despite the warning sign on the city gate, the gamblers ignore the warning and yet still enter the city.
The Mahjong City's Netherworld's officials are all "mahjong experts", regardless how good an ordinary person is, they are unable to win over them.

The win or lose isn't about money.
But is to "go to hell".
Those who lose will fall into the "Hell of Eye Gouging", "Hell of Ear Cropping", "Ploughing Tongue Hell", "Hell of Nose Amputation", "Arms Breaking Hell", "Legs Breaking Hell", "Heart Removal Hell", "Hell of Extreme Cold", "Hell of Extreme Heat [Pratapana]", "Decapitation Hell", and "Throat Cutting Hell".
The bet of this Mahjong City is actually "removal of body parts".

Therefore:
A scene that is full of screams.
A scene that is full of flesh and blood.
A scene that is full of crying sound.
A scene that is full of cluttered body parts.

Gamblers who entered the Mahjong City would never return, there will be no win but will only lose, once one enters the city, the body parts would be removed.

The intention of the Netherworld is very obvious:
"Is to alert the human beings to not be obsessed with the meaningless gamble!"

I asked the King of Hell (Lord Yama): "What is the sin of gambling?"

Lord Yama answered: "Gamble is similar to the drinking precept of the five precepts. Once one is addicted to gambling, all sins will arise from it."

Lord Yama said:
Kill because of gambling.
Theft because of gambling.
Steal because of gambling.
Deceive/cheat/lie because of gambling.
Has no sense of shame because of gambling.
Sell children because of gambling.
Into prostitution because of gambling.........

Lord Yama said: "Each of these is karma, each of these is a sin!"

Lord Yama said: "Most of the gamblers who addicted to gambling will reborn in the Realm of Worms or Ants."

"Why?"

Lord Yama said: "From big to small!"

I asked: "Why would the Realm of Hell also have casinos?"

"Manifestation of the Netherworld!"

I now asked everyone a question:
"The happiness in human realm will transform into suffering in Netherworld, between happiness and suffering, it is two sides in one body, both happiness and bitterness are inseparable.
And Buddhism is to teach humans to attain liberation from suffering [Dukkha] and gain happiness, may I ask, how to attain liberation from suffering and gain happiness?" (Neither unpleasant nor pleasant sensation, whether of body or mind [Adukkhamasukha vedana])

Chinese Version （華文版）:

陰間有賭場嗎？愛賭之人往生後會到哪里呢？

《真佛天空中英文版金玉良言》 https://www.facebook.com/TBSkyNews

我們曉得,在人世間有賭城。
例如:美國的「拉斯維加斯」、「大西洋城」、「雷諾」、澳門的賭城以及遍佈全世界的賭場等等。

有人問我：
「陰間有賭城嗎?」

我肯定的說：
「有。」

好賭的人,一聽陰間有賭城,大樂。
然而,我說,且慢大樂,聽我道來。

據我所知： 陰間是有一座麻將城,一入此麻將城,便聽見「劈里啪啦」的麻將聲,不絕於耳。
裡面的賭鬼甚多,絡繹不絕,前仆後繼,麻將城聞名天下。

城門上有一聯：
豪門巨富由此喪。
有輸無贏莫進來。

雖然城門有警示牌,但,賭鬼們根本視若無睹,照樣進入。
此麻將城裡面的冥吏,全是天下間「麻將高手」,一般凡夫,再如何高段,也贏不了他們的。

其輸贏不是金錢。
而是「墮入地獄」。
輸的墮入「挖眼地獄」、「割耳地獄」、「耕舌地獄」、「割鼻地獄」、「斷手地獄」、「斷腳地獄」、「剖心地獄」、「大寒地獄」、「大熱地獄」、「斷頭地獄」、「割喉地獄」。
此麻將城的賭資,竟然是「肢體分解」。

因此：
一片慘叫聲。
一片血肉橫飛。
一片痛哭聲。
一片殘肢零亂。

入麻將城的賭鬼,有去無回,有輸無贏,一入此城,便是「節節支離」。

陰間的用意,非常明顯：
「是警惕世人,勿迷於無意義的賭啊!」

我問冥王：
「賭有何罪？」

冥王答：
「賭如同五戒內的飲酒戒。一賭入迷,所有的罪,由茲而生。」

冥王說：
因賭而殺。
因賭而盜。
因賭而偷。
因賭而騙。
因賭而無廉恥。
因賭而賣子女。
因賭而娼。........

冥王說：
「在在都是業,在在都是罪!」

冥王說：
「凡迷於賭的賭鬼,未來轉世,大部分入蟲蟻國。」

「為何？」

冥王說：
「由大而小!」

我問：
「為何陰間也有賭城?」

「地獄變現!」

我現在有一問題問大家:
「人間的樂,到了陰間,便轉化為苦,樂與苦之間,根本是一體兩面,苦樂不分家。
而佛法是教人離苦得樂,試問,如何才是離苦得樂?」(無苦樂受)
