What does it mean to jump out of the three realms and not be in the five elements?

It means that although you can transcend life and death within the scope of "three realms" and "five elements", it is bound and unsatisfactory. Jumping out of the three realms and five elements means stepping out of this range, not being bound by this range, and finally surpassing the three realms and being at ease, which is the real freedom and immortality.

Extended data

Three realms and five elements:

(1) three realms

(1), bondage of desire

It refers to the place where all beings with various desires and emotions live.

(B), the color world

It refers to a place where all kinds of desires and emotions have faded, but they still need to rely on material (color, which refers to all kinds of tangible materials, including their own bodies) to live.

(3) Achromatic world

It refers to a place where all kinds of desires and emotions are eliminated and all beings live without any material.

The sentient beings in these three realms, the desire realm and the color realm, are mostly born from the accumulation of goodness, while the sentient beings without color realm need to break away from lust and retreat to survive. The life span of color world is longer than that of desire world, and the life span of achromatic world is longer than that of color world. However, when the blessing ended, it still fell into samsara and sank into the sea of suffering.

(2) Five elements

The Five Elements is China's ancient material view. Widely used in philosophy, traditional Chinese medicine and divination.

The five elements refer to: gold, water, wood, fire and earth.

It is believed that nature is composed of five elements, and with the rise and fall of these five elements, nature changes, which not only affects people's fate, but also makes everything in the universe circulate endlessly. Taoism says that there are ghosts after death, but there are not necessarily six divisions in the cycle of cause and effect (the cycle of Taoism was added later), so as long as it is immortal or dead, the ghost will not leave, even if it jumps out.

To say that it is not in the five elements means that it is no longer dominated by the transformation of the five elements. "Shangshu" said: "Water is moist, wood is straight, fire is inflamed, soil and fertilizer are golden leather." That is to say, everything circulates in the five elements of transportation, and the water moistens the wood to make a fire to the top, and the soil gets this cycle, while the gold turns from life to death and becomes the nourishment of another cycle, that is, it becomes moist again. When he becomes immortal, he will no longer be restricted by the transformation of the five elements, and Shou Yuan will no longer die of physical exhaustion.
