Six Sectors
1) Heaven
- consist of 28 levels; one requires the appropriate virtues and
merits to enter into different levels.
e.g. The first
level is for the heavenly guards, angels, four heavenly kings…etc, one
day equals 50 years of our human earth time.
2) Asuras
- They have bad tempers and like to flight. They are either good or
bad. Most of them protect Buddhism.
3) Human
4) Hungry
Ghosts
5) Animals
6) Hell
Human
beings reincarnate amongst the six sectors, Buddha(s) always advise us
to go beyond these six sectors, entering into Buddha-land to continue
cultivating where there is no greed, hatred or ignorance.
For
Amitabha's Buddha-land (Western Paradise) and any other Buddha-lands
are all located beyond the Six-sectors, and no reincarnation occurs
unless the individual wishes to return to help others.
