Afterlife

The various places involved in the afterlife.

Heaven: Those who are judged worthy may ascend to heaven.

Hell: The place where sinners spend eternity.

Higan: The far side of the Sanzu River, where one awaits judgement.

Netherworld: This is where spirits who have not ascended to Heaven, but are also too guiltless for Hell, wait to either ascend or reincarnate.

Sanzu River: The river that the souls of the dead are ferried across, in order to reach Higan.
