Buddhism divides the world of all beings into "three realms". Among them, the desire world includes six desires for heaven, earth and hell; The color world includes four Zen and eighteen days; The colorless world includes four empty days. The three realms are places where all beings are reincarnated, full of pain and troubles, and are called "fire houses". "Five Elements" was originally a philosophical concept in ancient China, which refers to the five elements that make up the material world: gold, wood, water, fire and earth. These "five elements" not only have their own essential characteristics, but also have mutual relations such as generation and restraint, thus forming everything and its movement and change. "Transcending the three realms" means transcending the cycle of life and death, and "not being in the five elements" means not being hindered by material obstacles. As the saying goes, "beyond the three realms, not in the five elements" means not to be polluted and bound by the secular. For example, in the 26th chapter of the Romance of Gods, "My sister is a monk, but she is originally' beyond the Three Realms and not in the Five Elements'. Can you tell the difference between secular men and women? " Another example is the 26th chapter of the Romance of Western Three Treasures Eunuchs: "Zhenjundao: Since I am beyond the Three Realms and not in the Five Elements, how can I care about your idle struggle in the world?" (Li Mingquan)

Three realms and five elements are brief statements of Taoist terms. Yesterday, it was said that "jumping out of the three realms, not in the five elements" was also a fairy. The "three realms" mentioned by Taoism generally refer to the three realms of heaven, earth and man. It refers to the whole universe or super universe and super time.

Achromatic boundary

Since Pangu broke the HarmonyOS system, heaven and earth don't know geometry. West Kunlun is far from Yaochi, the Queen Mother of the West. Yaochi turned water into clouds, which spread widely between heaven and earth and became a heavy sky. Only those who successfully practice merit can soar to the "Tai Huang Ascending Heaven" on the first floor of the Nine Days, and thus become gods, but this is the lowest god.

The colorless world is a paradise or paradise where immortals and saints are located, and it is a sacred world that laity can't climb;

Desire boundary

There are yin and yang, men and women, joy and sorrow, and day and night. This is the so-called realm of desire. That is to say, the universe of all latitudes and the world where creatures live;

Color boundary

There are three realms, namely, the realm of desire, the realm of color and the realm of colorless, which comes from the wonderful classics of Lingbao Infinite Man.

Desire world refers to the place where all beings with various desires and emotions live;

The color world refers to the place where all kinds of desires and emotions have faded, but all beings still need to rely on materials (color, which refers to all kinds of tangible materials, including their own bodies) to survive;

Achromatic world refers to the place where all kinds of desires and emotions are eliminated and all beings exist 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.

In Buddhism, all sentient beings in the three realms (desire, color and colorless) have not got rid of the six divisions in the wheel of karma.

In Taoist terminology, among the three realms (desire realm, color realm and achromatic realm), there are four kinds of people in achromatic realm, among which all beings with four kinds of people have completely got rid of the six divisions in the wheel of karma and the shackles of life and death.

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.
