Six Samsara In Buddhism.VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=THICH CHAN TANH.

 1

The six realms of samsara are a description of conditional existence that leads to the place where sentient beings are  reborn . Sometimes they are known as "real" realms, but today, 6 realms are often seen as a "means" of teaching through parables.

The existence of a person is determined by karma. Some realms seem more pleasant than others - heaven is better than hell - but all are dukkha, meaning only temporary and imperfect. Six realms of rebirth are often illustrated by Bhava Chakra or Wheel of Life.

This six samsara realms belong to the sex world, called Kamadhatu. In the ancient Buddhist universe, the  Three  Realms consisted of three precepts such as: Formless gender (Arupyadhatu), the formless world; Identity (Rupadhatu), the world of form; and Sex world (Kamadhatu), the world of desire. In addition, the Three Realms also divided into 31 different realms.

Please note that in some Buddhist sects, the heavens and the Atula realm are combined so there are only 5 instead of 6 realms of rebirth.

In  Mahayana Buddhism , the Bodhisattvas manifest themselves in many different realms to help sentient beings escape suffering. That may be  Quan The Am , the compassionate Bodhisattva in the realm of Ta-grandma. Or maybe the  Bodhisattva Bodhisattva (Ksitigarbha), who made a vow to save all sentient beings in the hell realm.

Heaven (Devas)

In the Buddhist tradition, heaven is where people accumulate many blessings from many reborn lives. They live in wealth, happiness with long life. However, those in heaven also grow old and die.

They are seen as fairies who have power, bless or punish sentient beings in the lower realms. This is similar to us, humans have the right to provide food for chickens or to kill it. In this way, many beings in the human realm often worship and beg these gods.

Due to the many merits and nobility from many lives, one of them immersed in the life in heaven, making them gradually forget the good deeds they had done before, they did not continue to nurture and develop  compassion  and wisdom mind.

These brats can cause them to reincarnate into lower realms after enjoying all the merits and cannot escape from the cycle of birth and death.

Cõi A-tu-la (Asura)

Ashoka is a powerful, talented creature and is sometimes described as an enemy of heavenly inhabitants. Abhidam represents the wrath, hatred and "jealousy" of talented people better than me.

People who always want to outperform others, have no patience and fairness for the inferior, they like to be worshiped like gods. But virtue is worse than heavenly people, leading to hatred and jealousy, which made them reborn in the A-la-la realm.

Preta (Preta)

Hungry ghosts  or hungry ghosts are described as creatures with large, empty stomachs but they have small mouths and necks that cannot be swallowed.

Peta ghost symbolizes those who are always eager to look for something outside to satisfy the craving inside. Those who are greedy, lustful, wander everything about themselves but never feel satisfied will be reborn in the hungry ghost realm.

Hell (Naraka)

As the name suggests, hell is the most terrible place among the six realms of rebirth. Just like many other religions, it is the place where the cruel people are banished to experience the suffering they have caused.

Those who are aware of which are good, which are bad but do not believe in cause and effect, do innumerable evil actions to satisfy themselves ... will be led by karma to reborn in hell. Unlike some other religions, according to Buddhism, those who have been deported to hell can still be reborn in higher realms when they have paid off their karma.

Hell in Buddhism divided into many different levels depending on the level and behavior that sentient beings have caused. According to some written records, those who were deported to hell underwent many levels of suffering and suffering, then were "nourished" to prepare for the next banishment.

Livestock (Tiryagyoni)

The animal realm includes animals, insects or microorganisms ... marked by ignorance, prejudice and complacency. They live instinctively, not aware of good-bad, good-evil and try to avoid discomfort or anything unfamiliar.

Human Realm (Manusya)

The human realm is the ideal realm of the six reborn worlds from which beings can escape the cycle of reincarnation. This realm is considered to have many advantages for liberating practice, from being conscious to challenging and beneficial in life to help people realize what is true happiness and do their best to reach  enlightenment .

However, because of the complexity in this realm, many people spend most of their time to avoid suffering and the pleasurable experience of life, sometimes having bad actions and thoughts creating bad karma that makes them still reborn in the human realm or lower realms.

The human realm represents passion, doubt and desire. Enlightenment is at the fingertips of mankind, but only a few realize and are determined to open it. END=NAM MO SAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=THICH CHAN TANH.GOLDEN AMITABHA MONASTERY=AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.25/5/2019.
