The Great Gautama Buddha is one of the many enlightened ones who have benefited many beings not only human beings with his doctrine but beings in all realms, even those in Heaven.
Indeed it is a compliment to his followers when the lucky few who have died and returned from death gave testimony that they saw Buddha in Hell amongst the fires of Hell.
Why is He there? Has He done wrong or sinned?
He is there because there is the need to save beings who have yet to be enlightened and whose spirits or souls are burning with the fire of ill will, greed and ignorance. (Incidentally, as a buddha, He can be at more than one place at anyone time. You can say that he is omnipresent.)
Even Lord Bo Tien will not hesitate to manifest in Hell in addition to other realms to save or at least mitigate the sufferings of those in Hell so that the fires of attachment, false views and anger in them may be doused and they be liberated from the fires of Hell within and without them. Much depends on the ability of beings to make good. Buddhas and saints provide the initial push.
Thus the lord saint Lord Bo Tien did say in 1975 at Sitiawan that the far may still be near and those far from God and the saints (the pure ones) too are indeed near and dear to divinity. They are never separated from God and saints at all times. (Lord Bo Tien's 1975 Anniversary Message and The Three Sitiawan Pointers )
In fact, dear readers, they are the ones who are most lost and need the most help and guidance. Even Jesus will not condemn or damn them but will be with them if they request for He said, "Seek and ye shall find. Knock and the door will be opened..." This is the manifestation of divine benevolence.
Only men who think they are the highly worthy ones may at times damn them to beyond salvation. In the name of God, these men adopt the very high moral ground and say the souls of those who have erred stay put in hell forever and ever --- and cannot hope to be salvaged. God and saints never said that but some men amongst us would do so. How sad can that be?
God will still forgive them for they know not what they do or say. God will help them to be more open and loving, more so to those who are more lost, especially those in hell on earth or Hell below.
Pray for them to mend their ways and all will be more blessed. Forgive them and God and saints will be filled with admiration for you. For you would be like Buddha and saints who even manifest in Hell to save the otherwise difficult to save.
God and saints do not give up with bigoted men but extend compassion and benevolence to them that they may mend and make good. In a way, they are the prodigal sons who want to go their way and not go with God's way.

For now, they seem arrogant and are like insects that come to the flower (parable by Lord Bo Tien in 1984 - Historical
version of 1984 birthday eve message of Lord Bo Tien Chor Choo at Philip's
residence). Having secured the divine nectar, they take on the mantle of divinity and pass judgement on behalf of God. They forget that men should not judge lest they too be judged. You may say they are bigoted
