『지장경』은 불교에서 정토계통의 경전과 함께 사후세계를 다루고 있는 경전이다. 󰡔지장경󰡕의 대의는 지옥의 중생을 제도하는 것인데, 그 가운데 효도에 대한 가르침이 큰 비중을 차지하고 있다. 이런 점에서『지장경』은 불교의 효경이라고도 한다. 『지장경』의 13개 품 가운데는 효도와 관련하여 등장시킨 지옥과 직접 관련한 3개의 품이 들어있다. 그것은 지옥의 고통을 설명해줌으로써 중생들로 하여금 죄업을 짓지 않도록 해주려는 불교의 방편법에 따른 것이다. 그런데 경전에서 설하고 있는 지옥은 궁극적으로 마음속의 지옥이라는 결론을 보여주고 있다. 그래서 『지장경』에 보이는 다양하고 중층적인 지옥의 과보는 누가 주는 것도 아니고, 어디 외부에서 오는 것도 아니다. 자신이 짓고, 자신이 설정하며, 자신이 받고, 자신이 인식하며, 자신이 평가하는 관념일 뿐이다. 이로써 불교에서 제시한 지옥은 몇 가지 특징을 보여주고 있다. 하나는 자신이 짓고 자신이 그 과보를 받는다는 자작자수(自作自受)이고 자업자득(自業自得)의 이치에 충실한 것이다. 둘은 마음으로 이루어진 것이다. 셋은 무한한 지옥은 없다. 넷은 자신의 과보만이 아니라 가문, 민족, 국가 등 일정 부분은 타인과 관계가 있다. 이처럼『지장경』에서 지옥을 설정하고, 궁극에는 지옥이 자신의 마음에서 설정한 것임을 깨우쳐 줌으로써 올바른 마음으로 살아갈 것을 유도하는 윤리적이고 교훈적인 가르침을 제시하고 있다.
