: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).

==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. |

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)

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.
