There are two concepts fundamental to the Buddhist view on the nature of reality, or the world as we experience it. The first is that all things have no inherent existence. They are Empty; they have no eternal nature. Secondly, that things appear to be what they are because of our own conditioning.
To explain this second principle, Vasubandha (Asanga's brother, 3rd century CE) used the example of the wardens of Hell. If the demons, who see to the appropriate torture of those whose karma has led them there, take rebirth in the hells because of their karma, then wouldn't they also experience the suffering? How could they oversee their work if they were subject to the torments of the hells, along with their charges or "victims?"
Vasubandhu says that the wardens of the hells merely proceed from the minds of the ones who are there suffering in torment. They are projections, just like many other features of existence. Hell is a kind of hallucination.

Penggambaran neraka dengan Yama sebagai raja neraka dan para petugas nerakanya disebutkan dalam MN 130 Devadutta Sutta (https://dhammacitta.org/teks/mn/mn130-id-bodhi.html) dan padanannya dalam Agama Sutra Mandarin di MA 64 (https://suttacentral.net/id/ma64).
