What is the so-called three realms?

Three realms is a Buddhist concept, which refers to the desire realm, color realm and achromatic realm where all beings live.

Buddhist terminology:

1, Brahman kāma -dhātu, is the floorboard of hell, hungry ghost, beast, shura, human world and heaven with six desires. All sentient beings in this world are greedy for food, sex, sleep and other desires.

2, the color world (Van rūpa -dhātu), color is the meaning of change obstacles or performance, is to stay away from lust, eat two desires, but there is still a pure color and other sentient world. This world is above the realm of desire, without desire to dye, without female form, and all its sentient beings are metaplasia; Its palace is tall and is transformed from color, and everything is wonderful and fine. Because it is still in color, it is called color world.

The world is divided into four grades according to the depth of meditation, from the beginning of meditation to the end of Agatha's tired days, where there are 18 days.

3. There is no color world (Brahma arpa-DHātu), only four minds: receiving, thinking, doing and knowing, and no material beings live in it. This world has no material things, no body, no palace, no land, and only lives in deep and wonderful meditation with the heart, so it is called a colorless world. This world is above the color world, * * * has four days (the sky is boundless, the sky is boundless, there is no sky at all, think about it), also known as four colorless and four empty.

Another explanation of the three realms in Buddhism (from the Great Bodhisattva, Volume 29);

Refers to three kinds of inaction relief: breaking the boundary, leaving the boundary and stopping the boundary.

1, breaking the boundary, that is, breaking the other eight kinds of troubles except greed in the nine knots (nine kinds of troubles), or breaking the ignorance knot.

2, leaving this world, that is, from greed or trouble or from love.

2, out of the world, that is, out of goodness and all troubles, such as no cover and no memory. That is, in addition to nine kinds of troubles, there are leakage methods.
