[edit] Removal of references to pleasures
I removed the references to pleasures. Pleasures would fit well into the realm higher that of Asuras. There are different classifications, that usually confuses. Above human realm, there are either two realms (semigods/Asuras and gods/Devas) or just one (and you hear it called either 'asuras' or just gods).
Asurase are active, intelligent and prone to jealousy and figts. Gods are completely satisfied with what they have (and they have a lot), they live in harmony and do not fight (except when Asuras attack).
Hope this helps.
- Thanks a lot, ExitControl. I'll keep that part as you have written it, until i'll get more info... and then i'll see. Please sign your posts though, it really helps out to see who i'm talking to without actually having to go through the page's history. Beta_M talk, |contrib (Ë-Mail)
[edit] Library of Congress image
Does anyone know if the image that i'm linking to on the Library of Congress website can by uploaded and used on Wiki (without copyright problems). If it can't and somebody has another one that is either in public domain or under a free license please feel free to edit the reference... Beta_M talk, |contrib (Ë-Mail)
[edit] Plants, Germs, and Earth
What about plants, germs, and earth? Where are the ten? lysdexia 03:13, 16 Oct 2004 (UTC)
- As far i can tell in Buddhism those three are said not to be sentient beings, and therefore are not in the ten realms (whether lower six (aka samsara) or higher four). However, i believe i have seen references to plants as sentient beings in some krishna texts, but i'm no expert to comment on that.
- As for where is the article on the whole ten spiritual realms, it's on my ToDo list... q;-) Beta_M talk, |contrib (Ë-Mail)
[edit] A little frightening?
Isn't the idea of possibly coming back into the world as an animal, hungry ghost, or in the Narakas seem scary? Do people who believe this believe that this happens to everyone? Or is it just really bad people and not the average Joe Blo? This always confused me about Buddhism. It seems so nice, yet has some terrible ideas about the afterlife with the Buddhist hell realms. This is all just my opinion and I mean no offense to any Buddhist who reads this.

- According to the Pali Canon, the vast majority of people are reborn in lower realms. Peter jackson (talk) 16:46, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] (Dis)order?
As far as I know, the asura realm follows the god realm and precedes the human. Haiduc 17:10, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Layout
The way the introductory text interacts with the pivture results in a detached 1/2 line, which looks daft to me. Perhaps someone with the requisite technical knowledge can fix it. Peter jackson 16:01, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
