the six great divisions in the wheel of karma

The so-called reincarnation of life and death means that "abandoning this implication has restored the interest of others". All living beings in the world have karma for doing good and bad deeds. There are six places for karma, which are called six ways. The six paths are divided according to the size of karma. They are: Heaven humanity (incarnation), humanity, animal way, Asura way (Magic), hungry ghost way, hell way (incarnation). The so-called six ways of samsara, according to the cause and effect of life, will naturally enter into different ways. The six ways are divided into three good ways and three evil ways. The three good ways are heaven way, humanity way and Asura way; the three evil ways are hungry ghost way, animal way and hell way. The reincarnation between heaven way and hell way is based on the good and evil in life.

interpretation

The so-called six ways are humanity (human), Heaven (human), Asura (demon), hell (hell), hungry ghost (ghost) and animal (three evil ways). However, in the six ways, humanity is the center, because of the people's good and evil ideas and arbitrary pursuit, resulting in retribution. For example, people who hold the three commandments (five commandments: no killing, stealing, lust, nonsense, drinking) or more in their daily language, actions, thoughts, and law-abiding practice can get six complete human bodies. Those who have the five commandments are well-known for their long life. Practice the five commandments and do ten good deeds (body: no killing, stealing and whoring). Mouth: no bad mouth, false words, beautiful words, two tongue. Meaning: not greedy, resentful, stupid.) Heaven is divided into desire heaven, color heaven and colorless heaven. The above five precepts plus ten virtues are to generate desire for heaven, and then add the revised meditation to prove that from the first Zen to the fourth Zen, that is, to generate the heaven of color world. If you move into the four spaces, there will be no color boundary. However, although they did not want to think about the sky, they still subdued the perplexity of karma and could not escape from the cycle of life and death. Therefore, the ancients said: no security in the three realms is like a fire house. In daily life, although people have ten good intentions to give alms, but with fame and wealth, they are born into Asura Kingdom (Xumi mountainside). Asura is blessed with heaven and lacks heaven's virtue, which is caused by the pollution of the earth. If people lose their moral precepts and become greedy in daily life, they will fall into the world of ghosts and Taoism, or into the world of animals, or into hell if they commit five evils and ten evils. The above interpretation is quoted from junyouhui, liudaosamsara volume. To sum up, the good and evil of liudaosamsara are reported by the people's mind, which can tend to be good, that is, to rise to heaven and man, to rise to evil, that is, to fall into the evil way, with obvious cause and effect. Six samsara is the world view of Brahmanism in ancient India. Later, Sakyamuni Buddha was born, following this world view, in order to measure the world's troubles, and never leave life and death. To a certain extent, Brahmanism's world outlook can bring blessings to believers, so Buddha calls it "more cattle, more horses, more jewelry". six Tao refers to six kinds of results brought about by creating good and evil karma (behavior, language and thought are all called karma), and according to the world view at that time, reincarnation to a certain Tao is called "life", leaving a certain Tao is called "death". Therefore, all living beings can judge the evil and cultivate the good in order to obtain the real benefits. With the gradual relief of the troubles of all living beings, the true dharma meaning was opened in zhongahan Sutra, jinlengjia Sutra, Zhongxu Mahadi Sutra, and King pinvasala Sutra. Six ways: 1. Heaven (incarnation); 2. Asura (demon); 3. Humanity; 4. Animal way; 5. Hungry ghost way; 6. Hell way. "The way of heaven" can be divided into the heaven of desire, the heaven of color and the heaven of colorless. humanity and God are good ways, and doing good can become heaven and man. Among them, all living beings create more good deeds than evil ones, more joy and less pain. the "way of heaven" in Buddhism and Brahmanism refers to good fortune, which is different from the "way of heaven" in Taoism. The "way of heaven" in Taoism refers to law, truth and operation law. after death, people may become hungry ghosts, or they may turn to the "way of heaven" to enjoy the "blessing" of the gods. After death, people can not become regular. Asura enjoys the blessings of heaven and man, but his heart is polluted by all kinds of evils. As a result, the good news will decline and fall into the path of man, beast and hungry ghost, while those who create hell karma will fall into the path of hell. Animals, hungry ghosts and hell are called the three evil ways. Among them, all living beings create more evil deeds than good ones, and suffer more and enjoy less. Among them, all living beings in hell are suffering but not happy. the true situation of the six ways is very deep and unspeakable. Through various metaphors, the Buddha makes the public have an intuitive feeling of the bitterness and happiness of the six ways, so that all living beings can find the right direction to get away from the bitterness and happiness. The wise man, on the other hand, gets the true meaning of Buddha by analogy, achieves great compassion and saves all living beings from worrying about life and death forever. where to go is determined by the karma. The main causes of livestock industry are infatuation, Lust (in the "happy" of men and women, lust is lust) and drug abuse. The main causes of hungry ghosts are greed, theft and gambling. The karma of hell is mainly anger, murder, slander of Dharma and Buddha. The cause of human karma is not to create serious greed, anger, ignorance and the other three evil ways. The main causes of heaven's humanity are filial piety to foster parents, serving teachers, hearing the Dharma, not talking falsely, not arguing, not biting, not joking, not being greedy, not angry, not being stupid, not even being greedy, not being fond of evil and not being kind, and being aware of all kinds of karma with one mind Don't think, don't think. the life and death of karma for body is not completely equal to the life and death of lust body. The death of the lust body will inevitably lead to the end of the current karma body, but the lust body does not die, and the karma body can also be reincarnated. Either the present karma is exhausted and perishes, or the new karma is replaced and perishes. This process can be divided into one thought, one day, two days or even seven days, or even seven seven forty-nine days. The previous Yebao body is also called the front Yin body, the next Yebao body is also called the back Yin body, and the middle Yin body. The reason why Buddha didn't point out this at the beginning is to follow the mind of all living beings, so that all living beings can easily accept the judgment of evil and the cultivation of good, so as to obtain real benefits. Later, the worries of public life gradually eased, and the ability to accept the right knowledge increased. Only in this way can the true legal meaning be explained. Therefore, it is said in the Vajra Prajna paramita Sutra that "if a Bodhisattva has self phase, human phase, all living beings phase and longevity phase, it is not a Bodhisattva.". why is it one thought or seven days or even seven seven forty-nine days? When the karma is strong enough, one thought is born; if the karma is weak or new karma has not yet been formed, there is a process of gradual achievement of the karma during the bardo. The achievement of karma is expressed in seven days: 1. Creating new karma at the beginning; 2. Creating new karma when encountering fate leads to the growth of new karma; 3. Karma continues to grow and creates new karma without external causes; 4. Creating new karma more than old karma; 5. Creating old karma when encountering fate; 6. Creating old karma when encountering fate, but the karma still exists; 7. Making new karma when the old karma does not reappear. A kind of karma may evolve into a new one in seven steps, many times or even immeasurably, under the external pollution. Therefore, it is said that "even July 49th" can be used as an expression.

Heaven and humanity

"The way of heaven" can be divided into desire, color and colorlessness. The lighter the worries of heaven and man, the greater the "good news". According to the blessings of heaven and human beings, the blessings of human beings who do good deeds can be divided into six levels: one is the four great kings (yecha heaven), two is to benefit heaven, three is to be good time
