Best Answer

To avoid being born in the hell realms (incarnating as a hell-being after death), you should cultivate positive thoughts, words, and deeds. Have feelings of love and compassion for all human and non-human beings. Love means wishing to make others happy, and compassion means wishing to relieve their suffering. Accumulate merits by performing acts such as selfless service to others, protecting others, and rescuing people and animals from harm. Dedicate your virtuous acts to the benefit of others, without any expectation of reward for yourself. Through prayer and meditation, purify your past bad deeds, and resolve not to repeat them. Avoid negative emotions, and cultivate wisdom, generosity, devotion, patience, and other virtues.

Answer:

In the Abrahamic faiths "Hell" has the context of eternal damnation as a punishment imposed on by a deity for failure to follow his rules. In Buddhism reincarnation into an unpleasant realm is a potential result. This results from unskillfulness on the individual's part in how the present life is led. Rebirth from this condition is possible and progress towards enlightenment can be continued.
