what is a luminous realm?

Upvote:1

It is the realm of the first four (rupa) jhanas. See the seven planes; it is the realm of the rupa jhanas (the first four); see this discussion for some sources in DN33. I'm not a Pali expert so not sure why rūpadhātu is translated as "realm of luminous form" here, maybe someone in another answer or comment could elaborate.
