The Scripture of the Founding Master
Chapter Six: Doubts Clarified
10
A disciple asked, “Where are paradise and hell?” The Founding Master said, “If your mind abides in a place that transcends transgressions and merits, suffering and happiness, then that place is paradise. If you are entrapped in transgressions and merits, suffering and happiness, then that place is hell.” He asked again, “How can we live forever only in paradise and never fall into hell?” The Founding Master said, “If you gain awakening to the original principle of your nature, never leaving the self-nature behind, then you will live always in paradise and will never fall into hell.”
