[edit] This is all made up, theres not "Avici" in Bhuddist texts, and I'm a practicing buddhist.

[edit] Avici hell is not eternal

Avici hell is not eternal. The sutras stated that suffering in Avici hell will be for innumerable kalpas. That means a lot of kalpas but not indefinite, not eternal (although the period of suffering is far longer than all other levels of Buddhist hells.)

Non-stop does not mean eternal, it means there is no resting for a being in that hell. When he passes away after 1 kalpa (time unit), he again gets reborn in the same place, undergoing suffering for another kalpa, and on and on until he has exhausted his bad karma.
