What do Buddhists believe happens to non-Buddhists when they die. Are they doomed to everlasting hell-fire, or does Buddha send them back as worms?
Some religions teach that they are the one true path to salvation and all those people who chose (or were brought up in) the wrong paths will be judged by the True Religion’s Founder and thrown into hell. This doctrine is known as exclusivism or judgementalism. Buddhism is not exclusivist. To a Buddhist any person guided in their activities by compassion is regarded as following a beneficial spiritual path.
