Translation?

[eggomaniac]

Does the Tiltles of this book translate as Heaven and hel_l?

Is there any English book review, or better yet, translation.

I already have 'suspicions' the book does not represent Buddhism, no proof; nevertheless it seems fascinating. SHE says, 'business monks' 'build expensive temples' 'produce things for seeling'

It has pages of photos of the most handsome and unblemished young monks, followed by the most beautiful pages of jewellwery design, then paintings of heaven: the last 3rd are the most horrific pictures of hel_l after death, or maybe the human condition of unenlightenment after birth, who knows?

ISBN: 974-93349-4-9

The only internet information was a Thai site about beauty pageants, which seemed to be indicating the jewellery was from this book?

Just the pictures, alone, make it one fascinating book, I don't know if the Text adds any interest.

The title on the cover of the book reads Heavenly Love Spell (Mon Saneh Haeng Sawan). The following page reads Hellish Teeth of Mara (Than Man Haeng Narok). Mara is the Buddhist equivalent of satan.

There are dozens of books like these on the shelves in Thai bookstores. Many promise to teach readers how to kae wipak ('cure' vipaka, the results of negative karma) or thai baap (wipe away evil deeds).
