What are the three realms, ten directions, four births and six realms?

The boundary of the world, pushed towards the form, is like clouds in ten directions. The ten directions are also the ten directions. That is, east, west, south, north, four dimensions (northeast, southeast, northwest, southwest), up and down.

The world of life and death is divided into three parts: 1. The realm of desire, which is the residence of sentient beings with two desires: lust and appetite. From the Six Desire Heavens above, from the four continents of the human world in the middle, to the Infinite Hell below. It's called the realm of desire. 2. Color Realm. Color means material obstruction, and it is a tangible substance. This realm is above the desire realm, and is the residence of sentient beings who are free from the two desires of sexual intercourse and food. Called a body, called a palace, material things are always wonderful and exquisite. Hence the name color realm. This form realm is divided into four levels by the shallow, deep and rough of meditation, which are called the Four Zen Heavens, and the new name is Jingtan. There may be sixteen days, seventeen days, or eighteen days (see: Four Zen Heavens). 3. The formless realm. In this realm, there is no color, no material object, no body, and no palace or land. Only the mind lives in the deep and wonderful meditation. That’s why it’s called colorless. This is a world without matter. Then its location cannot be determined. But in terms of the meaning of retribution and victory, it is said to be above the realm of form. It's four days. It is called the Four Colorless. It is also called the Four Empties ((see: Four Empties)), which expresses the meaning of the world and the three realms.

Boundary, limit and distinction. It is said that the boundaries of the three realms are different, so it is called the realm.

[1. Desire Realm], there are four kinds of desires: first, lust, second, lust, third, appetite, and fourth, lust. The lowermost Abi Hell and the sixth heaven of other transformations are where men and women are intertwined and there are many desires, so it is called the Realm of Desire. (Sanskrit Abi, Huayan is endless. Sixth, those who transform into heaven are those who are transformed by others and entertain themselves.

[2. Color Realm], color is color quality, which means that although it is separated from the filth and evil of the desire realm The color of the body is pure, starting from the first jhana Brahma Heaven and ending in the Agya Nijia Heaven. There are eighteen days in which there is no female form and no desire to stain. They are all transformations and still have color, so they are called The world of form. (Sanskrit Aga Ni Zha, Hua Yan Zhi hinders the ultimate. The eighteen heavens are Brahma Heaven, Brahma Assistant Heaven, Great Brahma Heaven, Shaoguang Heaven, Infinite Light Heaven, Guangyin Heaven, Shaojing Heaven, The heaven of immeasurable purity, the heaven of omnipresence, the heaven of cloudlessness, the heaven of blessed birth, the heaven of wide fruits, the heaven of no thoughts, the heaven of no troubles, the heaven of no heat, the heaven of good seeing, the heaven of good manifestation, the heaven of ultimate form)

[3. Formless Realm] means that there is consciousness but no substance. It starts from the place of emptiness and ends in the place of non-non-thinking. However, there are four minds of feeling, thinking, consciousness, and no substance, so it is called. (The four heavens are the sky where space is boundless, the world where consciousness is boundless, the world where there is nothing, and the world where there is nothing but non-thinking.)

Page 15 of Volume 2 of Yoga says: And the four lives. It can be said that it is born from an egg, born from a womb, born from moisture, or born from an egg. How can it be said that all sentient beings emerge from [grain-grain eggs]? Such as geese, geese, peacocks, parrots, and relic birds. Wait. How can it be said that all sentient beings are entangled in the womb and come out of the womb? How can it be said that all sentient beings are born due to a kind of moisture? How can they be reborn, like insects, scorpions, etc.? It is said that all sentient beings are born with the six places. How can they be reborn? Humans, ghosts, and side rebirths are all divided into two parts.

On page 11 of Volume 8 of the Book of Two Interpretations, it is said: Among the realms mentioned above, we should know that there are four kinds of rebirths. What is there? The poem says:

There are four kinds of beings in it, including human beings and four kinds of beings. There are only two kinds of births in hell and heaven, and there are two kinds of ghosts and wombs. Said: It is said that sentient beings are born from eggs, are born from wombs, are born from moisture, and are born by transformation. It is said that among all sentient beings, although there are other types of beings, why is it said that sentient beings are born from eggs? It is called oviparous, such as geese, peacocks, parrots, geese, etc. How can it be called viviparous? It is said that sentient beings are born from the womb, such as elephants, horses, cows, pigs, sheep, donkeys, etc. It is called viviparous. Born?

There are and so on, the roots are intact, the branches are born suddenly, and there is nothing but existence, so it is called transformation. There are four kinds of human beings: those who are born from eggs are called Shiluo Ubo Shiluo, who are born from crane eggs and deer. Thirty-two sons were born from the mother, including the five hundred sons of King Pankara, who were born from human wombs in the present world, such as Mantuo Duochelu Upo Chalu, Pigeon Garan Luowei, etc. At the beginning of the tribulation, there are three types of births, such as dragon Jie Luta and so on. All hells and heavens are born through transformation.

How can you lay eggs? Answer: If sentient beings are born from an egg, it is said that they are in the egg [Grain-Grain Egg]. They are first wrapped in the egg [Grain-Grain Egg], and then the egg [Grain-Grain Egg] is broken before they can be born. What does this mean? Such as geese, wild geese, peacocks, eagles, parrots, spring parrots, Lihuang, Mingming birds, etc., as well as a kind of dragon, a kind of wonderful wings, and a kind of human. There are still many sentient beings born from eggs. It means that those who are born when the egg [Grain-Grain Egg] is first wrapped in the Egg [Grain-Grain Egg] and then breaks the egg [Grain-Grain Egg] are born. Why is it possible to give birth to a fetus? Answer: If sentient beings are born from the womb, they are said to be in the womb. They are first wrapped up in the womb, and then they are born after the womb is broken. What does this mean? Such as images, horses, camels, cows, donkeys, sheep, deer, buffaloes, pigs, etc., as well as a kind of dragon, a kind of wonderful wings, a kind of ghost, a kind of human being, and there are other sentient beings born from the womb. It is said that in the womb, those who are wrapped up by the womb first and then are born after the womb is broken are all called womb births. Why is it so wet? Answer: If all sentient beings are warm, moist, or gathered, they may gather in excrement, or in the path, or in dirty toilets, or in carrion, or in old porridge, or in clumps of grass, or in dense forests, or in One can be born in a grass nunnery, a leaf cave, a pond, a lake, a river, the sea, or a moist place. What does this mean? Such as crickets, moths, gnats, midges, asparagus insects, etc., as well as a kind of dragon, a kind of wonderful wings, and a kind of human beings. There are also other sentient beings who spread their warmth and even rely on the sea to moisten it. Earth, etc., all those who can survive are called wet students. Why is it transformed? Answer: If all sentient beings have sufficient branches, no lack of roots, and no support, they will be born. What does this mean? It is said that all heavens, all hells, all beings in everything, and one part dragon, one part wonderful wings, one part ghost, one part human, have all the remaining sentient beings, the branches are complete, the roots are not diminished, and there is no support. Those who are born in Tianer are all born by transformation.

Same as Liuqu. Hell, hungry ghosts, animals, asuras, the human world, and heaven. These six are the paths of reincarnation for all living beings, so they are called the Six Paths. All sentient beings have different interests due to their karma, so they are called the six interests. The preface to the Lotus Sutra says: "The Six Paths are the interests of life and death for all sentient beings." The Second Profound Meaning of the Lotus Sutra says: "About ten dharma realms are called the Six Paths and the Four Saints.
