My explanation of six realms of existence

Upvote:-2

All the lokkas you call "states" are just as real as the robe and the bowl... Keep calling Buddha a liar; with continual grasping at "mind" and you will feel the realness of the lokkas with body attachment; If you have not already heard them for yourself by hearing the lokkas speech attachment; In "self and other" soon enough.

Do: Practice, practice, practice. Do not: Think, think, think. Grasping of the eye, ear, nose, mouth, and tactile sensations are each a consciousness and aflame with skandha in each sense consciousness making six jealousy's to break the link... breaking the link of the eye skandhas is just one, consciousness conquered.

At least; Three rounds of birth and death are required to attain the fourth noble step into truth on the path.

The essence of: "Practice as if; One's head is on fire." Is a direct pointing to this.

When you are sitting in your grave; and Mara is tearing your hair out by the roots? Don't forget to smile.

"Whatever an enemy might do to an enemy, or a foe to a foe, the ill-directed mind can do to you even worse." ~Dhammapada

That quote is past tense from someone thus gone sharing their wisdom, worthy of gifts and offerings.

When you yourself find yourself alone in the grave and yet still living? And Mara after Mara of either "Body" "Speech" or "mind" is tearing your hair out by the roots; speaking or growling disembodied; Trying to possess your "precious human form"? As any ol' preta is apt to do? Do not forget; They only see humans as a vessel, an easy to conquer vehicle due to the three poisons the attachment is so strong in craving and desire for the three poisons; not having form? They only want yours as soon as you become untangled.

The explanation does not appear to conform with common Buddhist interpretations, which say:

  1. Godly realms can still result in suffering (e.g. AN 4.123) &;

  2. The human realm is the ideal place to reach enlightenment & Nibbana; where Nibbana is the highest (Dhp 203) & only secure nonfluctuating (MN 140) happiness.

The human realm is described below:

Sooner, I say, would that blind turtle, coming to the surface once every hundred years, insert its neck into that yoke with a single hole than the fool who has gone once to the nether world would regain the human state. For what reason? Because here, bhikkhus, there is no conduct guided by the Dhamma, no righteous conduct, no wholesome activity, no meritorious activity. Here there prevails mutual devouring, the devouring of the weak. For what reason? Because, bhikkhus, they have not seen the Four Noble Truths. What four? The noble truth of suffering … the noble truth of the way leading to the cessation of suffering.

Yes this is correct this is the way a mahayana views reality. And this is the reason a theravedan disagrees! LOL.

To the theravedan the six realms are not visible in the human world. Or rather with human eyes the six realms are not visible on earth.
