At 5.10pm yesterday (7th June 2018), in Banteay Meanchey, 21 year old monk, Leng Meng Chu, committed suicide.

Apparently, he had been hospitalised recently for 2 months.

THE NOTE SAYS:

The five greetings were full, "20th of April, 2018, the day I attended the monk, I decided to dedicate myself to God on April 24, 2018, until I die from Meng Jue. Time is precious gold for every human being to do good and good for just good things. I thank you both teachers and monks
Honestly, I know that I know the Dhamma, but I can not think for myself. I know for more than two months that I have become a monk when I come, please help me, so that I may be born as a human being. You're wrong, please, and let's celebrate your birthday
Because of his ignorance, this child has made a lot of mistakes, and he has not done so much since he was a monk and he never made fun of him when he was a monk and did not make fun of him, he wanted to see the two happy, but he still can not do because he learn the Dhamma Do not know the discipline Do not know the discipline of the priest Now this child is wrong And you not have to give me a good mommy what you do You you only do, you only please sorry that make two happy happy you not hope this baby no to you love to me all my love will forever You are wrong and can not be happy in your family.

The Buddhist concept of heaven and hell is entirely different from that in other religions. Buddhists do not accept that these places are eternal.

It is unreasonable to condemn a man to eternal hell for his human weakness but quite reasonable to give him every chance to develop himself.

From the Buddhist point of view, those who go to hell can work themselves upward by making use of the merit that they had acquired previously.

There are no locks on the gates of hell. Hell is a temporary place and there is no reason for those beings to suffer there forever.

The Buddha's Teaching shows us that there are heavens and hells not only beyond this world, but in this very world itself. Thus the Buddhist conception of heaven and hell is very reasonable.

For instance, the Buddha once said, 'When the average ignorant person makes an assertion to the effect that there is a Hell (patala) under the ocean he is making a statement which is false and without basis.

The word 'Hell' is a term for painful sensations. 'The idea of one particular ready-made place or a place created by god as heaven and hell is not acceptable to the Buddhist concept.

Suicide was a phenomenon known to the Buddha and commented on by him. On one occasion a group of monks doing the meditation on the repulsiveness of the body, without proper guidance, became depressed and killed themselves.

When informed that the two lovers had killed themselves so that "they could be together for eternity" the Buddha commented that these actions were based on desire and ignorance.

His attitude to suicide is clear from the Vinaya where it is an offence entailing expulsion from the Sangha for a monk to encourage or assist someone to suicide, and thus on a par with murder.

Consequently, in Theravada it is considered as a breach of the first Precept, motivated by similar mental states as murder (loathing, fear, anger, desire to escape a problem) only directed towards oneself rather than another.

While Mahayana takes a similar attitude to the more common type of suicide it did encourage suicide for religious motives.

The Lotus Sutra and several other Mahayana works praise the burning of one's own body, a sort of human incense stick, as the "highest offering".

Stories of bodhisattvas giving parts of their body or even their lives, which are immensely popular in Medieval India, gave self-mutilation and suicide legitimacy.

During certain periods in Chinese history such practices became so common that the government had to issue edicts against them. In recent times religious suicide has become rare and even disapproved of.
