The six realms generally refer to the heavenly beings as the best small good fruits among the six realms, but as long as the role played in the six realms of reincarnation, it can be said that they are ordinary people, and life and death are passed down and cannot escape. Just like the long night, although the heavenly beings are the highest among the six realms, they still have to suffer from the cycle of reincarnation.
Generally speaking, the universe refers to the tangible world. This tangible world is surrounded by nameless afflictions, so the world is the five turbidities and evil worlds. In the six realms of reincarnation, the six realms are divided into three realms, and the three realms are the desire realm, the form realm, and the formless realm.
The Three Realms are the residences that ordinary people of the six realms rely on. All within the Three Realms must accept reincarnation. Therefore, the Buddhist scriptures say that the Three Realms are like a fire house, and the fire house is a metaphor for the nameless fire burning in the three realms of life and death.
According to the scriptures, for the ten bad karmas, one must fall into the three evil realms of hell, hungry ghosts, and animals.
Because of the causes and causes of the ten good deeds, you will be born in the heaven and human realms.
The so-called heaven is the realm of the gods, which is the realm where the soul of upright and blessedness lives. Although this state enjoys blessings, there is always a time to enjoy the blessings. It is to cultivate good deeds to the heaven of neither thinking nor non-thinking. This heaven is the highest heaven in the three realms, but once it falls, it still needs to be reincarnated.
As for the Asura realm, it is the spirit world. The soul staying in the spirit world. Although he also practiced good deeds during his lifetime, he took an evil path, so he cannot be called a righteous god, but can only be called an evil god or an evil ghost. The environment in the Asura realm is the most complex, and evil gods also have supernatural powers. Therefore, this type is the most common one that causes trouble in the world.
Therefore, if a person has positive energy, evil energy cannot arise. If a person has evil thoughts, evil energy will take advantage of the opportunity to enter.
Therefore, the so-called "going into a demon" means that people first have evil thoughts and evil spirits take advantage of the gap.
The six realms of reincarnation all have the suffering of birth, old age, voice and illness, death, meeting with enemies and hate, love and separation, and suffering from what you seek, and suffering from the suffering of the five aggregates.
In this way, the six realms of reincarnation can be said to be more painful than happiness, so life is a sea of suffering.
According to the theory of liberation, precepts, concentration and wisdom are the way to liberation. Those who keep the precepts are the meaning of majesty and the basis of doing good deeds.
A person who practices meditation will not be distracted.
And a wise person can be prescient.
The so-called liberation means to leave bondage. Using precepts as the first good, concentration is the middle good, and wisdom is the later good. In this way, meditation is produced to strive to eliminate suffering, and finally be liberated from the six realms of reincarnation.
There are two items in the six realms of reincarnation that are tangible, namely the human way and the animal way.
There are four items in the six realms of reincarnation that are invisible, namely the Heavenly Way, Asura Way, Evil Ghost Way, and Hell Way.
The tangible one is called the instrument, and the invisible one is called the invisible one.
Although there is a theory of cause and effect in the teachings, the more formal approach is cause and effect. So what does fate mean?
The content of fate in Buddhism is very complex. Simply put, it is the condition. For example: eggs can hatch into chickens, but hatching into chickens requires a certain temperature. This certain temperature is fate. Although eggs can hatch chickens (the conditions for cause and effect are met), eggs will not become chickens without a certain temperature (fate). Therefore, in Buddhism, people are asked to practice and escape from the six realms of reincarnation, which means starting from the word fate, not allowing many lifetimes to create evil causes and turn into evil consequences in many lifetimes; but allowing many lifetimes to create good causes and turn into good results as soon as possible.
Thus, you will be free from suffering and gain happiness, and escape from the six realms of reincarnation.
The heavens are divided into the desire realm, the form realm and the formless realm. In the desire realm, the enjoyment of happiness and longevity are very large, and there is no such thing as the suffering of birth, old age and illness in the human world.
When the sentient beings in the desire realm are born one by one in the stamens of the heaven.
When the flowers bloom, they are born in the form of heavenly men and heavenly women.
In heaven, there is no need for the day or moon to report the time, but flowers bloom and merge into one day. The sentient beings in this path will enjoy endlessly throughout their lives. There is a story in Buddhist scriptures related to this.
When Shakyamuni Tathagata was alive, he had a disciple named Shariputra (Sanskrit name Shariputra). The famous "Heart Sutra of Prajna" in Buddhism was a scripture teaching for him. This Shariputra was a respected monk. He had a disciple named Haisheng. Haisheng was a lay Buddhist with a profession as a doctor and his medical skills were very good. He was respected by everyone. When Haisheng entered and left, due to his noble status, he usually rode an elephant to travel. Once, Haisheng met his master Shariputra halfway. Because he respected his master very much, he even fell and rolled down from the back of the elephant to bow to the master.
Therefore, this doctor Haisheng is a model of respecting teachers. Haisheng did a lot of good deeds in his life, but he died when his teacher Shariputra was born. After his death, Haisheng was born in heaven because of his good karma. His previous teacher Shariputra ascended to heaven with supernatural powers, intending to preach and teach him. When he saw Tiannan who was a doctor Haisheng in his previous life, Shariputra was about to move forward to preach and teach him, but the Tiannan only raised his hand to Sariputra and continued to have fun immediately. This was not because Tiannan did not remember Sariputra.
On the contrary, due to his karma, Tiannan could clearly remember the events of his previous life, but because the joy of heaven was so tempting that he could only raise his hand to say hello to the highly respected teacher in an instant, and then lost in extreme pleasure.
From this we can see that although the heaven is the greatest blessing among the six realms, it is not a favorable place to practice Buddhism.
For this reason, we seek rebirth in the Pure Land, rather than rebirth in heaven and enjoyment.
Although there is no suffering from birth, old age or illness in heaven, the sentient beings in heaven still suffer from extremely fearful pain before death.
Although their life span is extremely long, they are bound to die.
Also, when they were reborn in heaven, they were exhausted from their good karma and blessings, and they were often reborn in the three evil realms in the next life.
For some time before death, sentient beings in the heavenly realm would experience the decline of the five heavens and humans. For example, the flowers on their bodies would wither and fade, the light would no longer be emitted, and the body that originally emitted naturally fragrance would now emit odor and sweat.
At this time, his friends in the heavenly realm would avoid him far away and let him wait for death alone.
Because sentient beings in the heavenly realm naturally have supernatural powers, they can foresee that they will fall into the evil paths of the next life.
Let’s think about it. We don’t know where we will be reborn in our next life, but we will still be afraid of death and greedy for life.
All living beings in heaven are born to love cleanliness and enjoy their lives. When they foresee how great their fear and sense of helplessness are when they are about to be born into filthy animals, hell or hungry ghosts.
The first day in the form realm is the heaven of nothingness. Although the human desire roots are pure, there is still color dust.
In the Taoist scriptures, the color dust is further divided into six levels of coarse dust, six levels of fine dust and five levels of light dust.
The heavenly beings in the form realm, one coarse dust and purify the form realm, the second day: the seventh day of the six coarse dust and purify the form realm; the eighth day of the six fine dust and purify the form realm; the thirteenth day of the six fine dust and purify the form realm; the fourteenth day of the fourteenth day of the five light dust and purify the form realm; the eighth day of the eighteenth day of the five light dust and purify the form realm.
The eighteenth day of the realm of form: 300,000 miles away from the realm of desire, is the scenery of Danxia.Although there are no heavens and man, there are still figures and colors to be seen.If you practice gradually and the dust is completely gone, you will ascend to the formless realm. The first day of the formless realm is the first day of the eight north days, Haoting Heaven.
Although this is a person who is light and dirty, he still has the habit of dyeing.
When the heavenly beings gradually practice, reaching the level of no thoughts to forget and the qi view turns into wonderful things, they will ascend to the highest day of the formless realm, Taisu Tian.
This sky leaves the realm of the form 360,000 miles away, and it is the scenery of the blue clouds.The body shape of the heavenly beings is subtle and has no complex color.If those who study it, if they can further study at this point, they will be promoted to the four types of civil heavens.
The first day of the four types of civil heaven is Taixu Heaven.
In this world, the heavens and man have just left the three realms, and they have a sudden forgetfulness in their habits, are pure and untainted, have joy and inaction, and their energy enters the view of the spirit. The highest day of the four types of people's heaven is the Tai Chi heaven.
In this heaven, the heavenly beings have no limit to their lifespan, and they finally turn to the third realm... This heaven is under the Daluo, and goes to the formless realm for 1358,000 miles, and then fly the vitality and go to the three realms.If the disaster is about to end, this heaven will not be destroyed, and the saints in the sky will descend to the mortals and transform into the seeds of the people."The Chapter of the God of Birth" says:
This is to fill the people.
Asura, abbreviated as "Shura", is a transliteration of the Sanskrit word Asura. It is also translated as Asura, Asura, Asura, Asura, Asura, Asura, Asura, Asurun, Asurun, etc. in Chinese Buddhist scriptures.
Among them, Shura is "right", which the Chinese people call it the god of heaven. The Sanskrit word "A" is negative, and "Asura" means translated as non-heaven, non-like, non-right, and non-drunk god.
Their blessings are great and not far from all living beings in the heavenly realm.
All beings born in this path have great good karma in their past rebirth, but because of their habit of hatred, they have not been born in heaven. They can only be reborn in this life form that looks like heaven but not heaven.
The sentient beings in the Asura path have extremely high anger and jealousy. They often fight with sentient beings in the heavenly realm, but they often return and are beaten to the point of being bruised and bruised.
Although sentient beings in this path have great blessings, longevity and intelligence, they are not happy because of their hatred.
The human and heavenly paths are good paths. Asura is kind in nature, and is also one of the good paths, but because he often has anger and will to fight, he is not a true good person.
The male Asura often causes trouble in various realms, is brave and fierce. He attacks the heavenly king from time to time in the heavens to seize the throne. The female Asura is beautiful and often confuses sentient beings and makes it difficult to practice. Therefore, although Asura does not have to suffer, he has a great chance of falling into the three evil realms after death.
All beings are born in the three evil realms due to their bad karma, and are inspired by the retribution of the three good realms due to their good karma.
Among the three good paths, the blessings of being born in heaven are the greatest, followed by the Shura path, and the human world is the most suitable place to practice Buddhism.
The pain of being reborn in the human world can be mainly summarized into four sufferings, namely the suffering of birth, the suffering of old age, the suffering of illness and the suffering of death.
We will have a little understanding of the pain of old age, illness and death to death.
We may not understand the pain of life very well, nor can we remember the pain we experienced in the mother's womb and even in the birth process.
In the nearly nine months in the mother's womb, the baby suffered a lot.
Although we can't remember it now, it doesn't mean we didn't feel it at the time.
The baby suffers even more when he is born.
After birth, we don’t even have a little ability to protect ourselves.
If it weren't for the care of our parents, we might have survived for only a few minutes and would have been eaten by wild animals or died of cold or starved to death.
The suffering of old age does not only refer to the suffering of old age, but refers to the suffering of gradually moving towards death from the beginning of entering the fetus.
If we can live until old age, this kind of suffering will be even more obvious.
When we are old, our physical functions decline, and it is difficult to take a few more steps. We have bad appetite. The skin on our faces becomes like a monkey. There are many things we can’t do even if we want to do.
In the era of the five turbidities and evil times, young people did not know how to respect the elderly, and the elderly felt that they were unpopular.
This old bitterness is like a thief, who unknowingly stole our youth.
For those who do not understand Buddhism, suffering from old age includes suffering from physical and mental health.
For those who are proficient in Buddhism, they can feel pain in their hearts and regard aging as a natural thing, but the suffering of suffering in them can still be avoided.
Generally speaking, the universe refers to the tangible world. This tangible world is surrounded by nameless afflictions, so the world is the five turbidities and evil worlds. In the six realms of reincarnation, the six realms are divided into three realms, and the three realms are the desire realm, the form realm, and the formless realm.
