Not really a new idea - I remember Tiger Balm Gardens [Haw Par Villa], in Singapore. Saw it as a young child - made quite an impression! Looks like you Buddhists beat the Christians, in Texas, by a few decades, easy.
from wikipedia.org: "The best known attraction in Haw Par Villa is the Ten Courts of Hell, which features gruesome depictions of Hell in Chinese mythology and Buddhism. This attraction used to be set inside a 60-metre long trail of a Chinese Dragon but the dragon has been demolished, so the attraction is now covered by grey stone walls." ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <fairfieldlife@yahoogroups.com> wrote: No, it's not in Fairfield. It *is* in Texas, but other than that this article isn't about Fairfield Life. :-) But it certainly is interesting. Try to imagine evangelizing for a spiritual teacher and the only way you can think of to do it is to scare the bejeezus out of people to lead them to Jeezus. http://www.vice.com/read/the-best-little-hell-house-in-texas?utm_source=vicetumblrus http://www.vice.com/read/the-best-little-hell-house-in-texas?utm_source=vicetumblrus Those into "making connections," relate this to the article I posted recently about 70% of Americans believing in Pure Evil, and the kinds of things that belief convinced them they had the right to do to their fellow human beings.
