Buddha said ten Dharma realms: what is the ten Dharma realms

佛说十法界：什么是十方法界

amitabha. Learning the culture of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, and understanding the content of the ten Dharma realms of Buddhism can improve wisdom.

----Zhuge Changqing

amitabha.

Blessed life is limitless.

When you read the Buddhist scriptures and do alms, you often see a noun, that is, the world of ten methods.

So what is the ten-method world?

After studying the traditional Chinese Buddhism culture, Zhuge Changqing believed that the ten dharma realms were the general classification of Buddha, Bodhisattva and all living beings in order to enlighten people. The Buddha, Bodhisattva and all sentient beings are divided into ten levels. That is, the Buddhist dharma, the Bodhisattva dharma, the karma dharma, the sound dharma, the heaven dharma, the Ashura dharma, the human dharma, the hungry ghost dharma, the animal dharma, and the hell dharma.

The Tao can be said, but it is not true. In order to facilitate the understanding of the predestined, Zhuge Changqing made a metaphor for the predestined. In this space, we draw a straight line from top to bottom. The straight line is divided into ten levels, and each level is a Dharma realm.

From top to bottom, there are exactly ten law boundary spaces, which are called ten law boundaries for short.

Our space is divided into ten parts from top to bottom, namely:

One Buddha dharma, two Bodhisattva dharma, three karma dharma, four sound dharma, five days dharma, six Ashura dharma, seven human dharma, eight animal dharma, nine hungry ghost dharma, and ten hell dharma.

The first four items are called the Four Saints, and the last six items are called the Six Verses and the Four Saints.

The four saints refer to the fruit positions of the four saints, namely Buddha, Bodhisattva, predestination, and aura. They are the enlightenment realms of the saints.

Six realms: the six realms of heaven, man, asura, animal, hungry ghost and hell, which are the world of mortal mystery, that is, the world of six reincarnations. All sentient beings have fallen into the three realms, and their sinful deeds are different, so they have reincarnated among the six paths.

Zhuge Changqing: The six ways of reincarnation that we talk about everyday means that the six ways of reincarnation circulate continuously in "heaven, man, asura, beast, hungry ghost and hell".

There are good and evil in the six ways. Heaven, man and Ashura belong to the three good ways; Animal, hungry ghost and hell belong to the three evil ways, also known as the three smears, namely blood smears, knife smears and fire smears.

In terms of cultivation, the Heavenly Way likes to indulge in pleasure. Although the Ashura Way has the blessing of heaven, it is full of anger. The three evil ways are suffering and stupid, so it is difficult to cultivate the five ways; Only humanity, bittersweet, high wisdom, is the best way to practice.

Buddha, Bodhisattva, predestination and sound have proved that the holy fruit of liberation is forever separated from life and death, and there are no six ways to go back and forth. They are four kinds of saints in the world.

Why does Sakyamuni Buddha often reveal ten dharma realms to people?

Zhuge Changqing believes that the merciful Sakyamuni Buddha wants people to know the contents of the ten dharma realms, and reminds people to stop evil and do good, not to be greedy for enjoyment, not to make mistakes, and not to go into hell and starve ghosts. Remind people to continue the five precepts and ten virtues, continue to make progress, cultivate both wisdom and happiness, break away from the six cycles, and enter the Buddha world as soon as possible.

amitabha. Buddha Sakyamuni reminded people that after knowing the ten dharma realms, they should determine their own goals and principles, go up, get out of the ordinary and become holy, and never fall down.

As the "Great Buddha Huayan Sutra" said, "If people want to know, all Buddhas in the three generations should observe the nature of the Dharma and all the creation of idealism.

The legal world is another name of the world; The different world is limited address, and the legal world is unlimited address. Because what is visible to the eye is called practice, and what is invisible to the mind is also called practice. Therefore, taking the law as the boundary, taking the picture vertically and horizontally, and being big without outside, is different from the world with visible and limited regions.

The ten Dharma realms divide all sentient beings into ten categories based on their nature and state, but they are still based on the Dharma and have no limited cause; Each kind of sentient beings is infinite and uncountable. The so-called "the world is boundless, all living beings are endless, and the Buddha dharma is also boundless." It shows the meaning of infinite Dharma.

The ten dharma realms are arranged in order from the extreme evil to the extreme good, from the extreme pain to the extreme happiness, and from the very low level to the very high level. Six living beings in the Dharma world rise and fall with the good deeds he has done, and the cycle is uncertain. The so-called "three evils repay the poor, and the good will come from the poor, and the six days of happiness will end in the world".

Generally speaking, the six paths of reincarnation and the endless life and death refer to the six sentient beings in the dharma world. All living beings in the Four Saints dharma world have broken their worries, died or died, jumped out of the three realms, and are not subject to the six paths of reincarnation, so they are called saints. Although the degree of Buddha, Bodhisattva, predestination, hearing, and practice varies, they are beyond the three realms and are not subject to the same pain of reincarnation and death, so they are all known as the four holy Dharma realms.

How on earth are the differences among the ten legal circles established? The Huayan Sutra said well: "We should observe the nature of the Dharma, and all things should be created by heart".

The ten dharma realms are created by everyone's own mind.

Zhuge Changqing believed that all things created by the heart, good intentions and good thoughts would inspire the establishment of a good Dharma world; Nausea and vice versa. So we are lucky to get a person. We should continue to make progress! We should work hard towards a higher level. Come on!!

Explain a case written by a good knowledge:

The power to create the world of Hell is to have a bad mind;

Having a very stingy mind is the driving force to create the world of hungry ghosts;

It is the power to create the animal law world to have a very foolish mind;

The power to create the Ashura dharma world is the desire to be extremely angry;

Having the heart to practice the five precepts is the power to create the human law world;

The power to create the world of heaven and law is to have a mind to practice ten good deeds;

The desire to practice the Four Truths is the power to create the world of sound and hearing;

Having a mind to practice the twelve karma is the power to create the karma world;

The motivation to create the Bodhisattva dharma world is to have a mind to practice the Six Degrees Dharma;

It is the power to create the Buddha dharma world to have a mind of compassion and universal equality.

Motivation is the cause of what we do now, and the dharma world is the result of what we feel in the future. Each person has different karma, so their karma is also different, so there are ten differences in dharma.

Therefore, the key of Buddha's teaching is to cultivate the control and control of one's own mind, which is also the meaning of "catch the thief first catch the king".

Zhuge Changqing. Understanding the ten Dharma realms can help us learn the culture of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, improve our wisdom, promote and improve our results. Amitabha, as long as you do good deeds and accumulate virtue, continue the five precepts and ten good deeds, and continue to cultivate both wisdom and happiness, you will enter the level of Buddha. Those who like to practice can set their own goals according to these ten levels to accelerate their practice and improve themselves.

Here are ten people who share the knowledge of Dharma:

1、 Buddhism

Zhuge Changqing: Buddha means to reach the level of Buddha. For example, Sakyamuni Buddha, Amitabha Buddha, Oriental Glazed Medicine Buddha, etc. Buddha is the most perfect sage in the world and in the world. It is the highest state among the saints in the world to achieve the goal of being self-conscious, aware of others, full of consciousness, and able to benefit all living beings.

2、 Bodhisattva Dharma World

Zhuge Changqing: Bodhisattvas mainly refer to those who have reached the level of Bodhisattva, except those who are the Buddha and the Bodhisattva who are always on the earth with the Buddha's body upside down. Bodhisattva, short for "Bodhisattva", means "feeling sentient", which means that you can be conscious and aware of all sentient feelings. The Bodhisattva's great compassion, in addition to transforming his own worries, and widely practiced six thousand lines, to self-interest and altruism, gradually complete all merits and virtues.

3、 Predestination

Zhuge Changqing: Predestination refers to the level of Bizhi Buddha. Fate, also known as "Bizhi Buddha", can be divided into two types: one is born in the Buddha world, heard the Buddha say twelve karma, and practiced the Tao, called "Fate"; The other is born in a world without Buddha. From the good roots of the previous life, we can see flowers blooming in spring and yellow leaves falling in autumn. We can see the changes of our own mind and external environment and realize the truth of impermanence, bitterness, emptiness and selflessness. We can prove the result of predestination, which is called "independent consciousness".

4、 Audiovisual Dharma

Zhuge Changqing: Sound refers to the practice of reaching the Arhat level. Arhan, it is said that the holy fruit was obtained by practicing the four principles. It is said that Arhat has three meanings. First, killing thieves means killing all troublesome thieves. 2、 To offer justice is to say that we have broken all the doubts in the three realms. We have high moral integrity and deserve to be supported by man and nature. 3、 Without meaning, it is said that it has gone out of the three realms and is no longer subject to segmented life and death.

5、 Celestial Dharma Realm

Zhuge Changqing: The sky mainly refers to the heaven of desire, color and colorless. Generally speaking, it is the level of immortality that people often say. The desire for heaven is the feeling of cultivating ten good things. The so-called ten good things are not killing, stealing, and lusting; The mouth does not speak falsely, has two tongues, has a bad tongue, and has a beautiful tongue; The mind is not greedy, angry or foolish. If you practice ten good deeds and four Zen and eight calmness, the results you will feel in the future will be in the color world and the colorless world.

6、 Ashura Dharma

Zhuge Changqing: Ashura refers to the level of immortals who have good fortune and magic power, but have a strong anger, lower than the celestial immortals. In the past, the students practiced ten good deeds, but because of their holding precepts, practicing blessings, and doing all kinds of good deeds, they felt anger, arrogance, and other evil thoughts. They had the blessing of heaven and man, but not the virtue of heaven and man, so they felt the result of Shura.

7、 Human and legal circles

Zhuge Changqing: This person mainly refers to people in our world. After receiving the five precepts, you will be born in the afterlife. The five precepts mean no killing, no stealing, no lewdness, no lying and no drinking. If you receive the top five precepts, you will be rich and powerful. If you only hold a few precepts, you will feel poor or have six consequences. Because each person has different precepts and practices, the future results will be different from rich and poor, longevity, wisdom and folly, beauty and ugliness, height and height.

8、 Animal law circle

Zhuge Changqing: Animals are all kinds of animals that fly in the sky, run on the ground and swim in the water. Because of greed and obsession, all living beings create inferior ten evils and feel the consequences of animals. The brute way is often slaughtered by him, or the weak eat each other and kill each other, so it is also called "blood smear".

9、 Hungry Ghost Dharma World

Zhuge Changqing: The hungry ghost refers to the hungry ghost floating in the void. They are very poor, their throat is as thin as a needle, and their mouth breathes fire, and they can't eat food. We can use the power of Buddha and Bodhisattva to change food and manna water to help them and help them in daily feeding. Those who are destined can see Zhuge Changqing's ritual of giving food. If a covetous person does not give up, does not know how to give or practice good fortune, does not understand the cause and effect, does not obey the precepts, does evil things and creates evil karma, he will feel the consequences of a hungry ghost. There is also a difference between the hungry ghost and the poor. The blessed are gods, and those who are not blessed are often hungry, and often suffer from being driven by knives and sticks, which is called "Dao Tu".

10、 Hell law world

Zhuge Changqing: Hell is what we call it everyday. Of the six ways, the hell way is the most bitter. All those who create five evils, ten evils and slander the law and break the precepts, all attract the consequences of hell. In hell, according to personal karma, suffering and life span are different. Hell has basic hell, near hell and lonely hell; All beings of the Hell Way are often suffering from cold ice or fierce fire, so they are called "fire painting".

阿弥陀佛。学习儒释道文化，了解佛说十法界内容，可以提升智慧。

---- 诸葛长青

   阿弥陀佛。

   福生无量天尊。

   当大家看佛经、做施食的时候，经常看到一个名词，就是十方法界。

   那么什么是十方法界呢？

   诸葛长青研究国学佛家文化后认为，十法界是佛为了教化人心，对佛菩萨和众生的总体分类。把佛菩萨和众生分为十个层次。即是：佛法界、菩萨法界、缘觉法界、声闻法界、天法界、阿修罗法界、人法界、饿鬼法界、畜生法界、地狱法界十个方面。
   道可道，非常道。为了便于有缘者理解，诸葛长青给有缘者打个比喻，我们这个空间，从上到下画一条直线，这条直线分为十个层次，每一层次就是一个法界。

   从上到下正好是十个法界空间，简称十法界。

   把我们空间从上到下分为十个部分，即是：

   一佛法界、二菩萨法界、三缘觉法界、四声闻法界、五天法界、六阿修罗法界、七人法界、八畜生法界、九饿鬼法界、十地狱法界。
   前四项称为四圣，后六项称为六凡，合称为六凡四圣。
   四圣：是指佛、菩萨、缘觉、声闻四种圣者的果位，乃圣者之悟界。

   六凡：指天、人、阿修罗、畜生、饿鬼及地狱等六界，为凡夫之迷界，亦即六道轮回的世界。一切众生，沉沦三界之内，由其所造作之罪业不同，因而轮回六道当中。

    诸葛长青：大家日常说的六道轮回，就是指在“天、人、阿修罗、畜生、饿鬼及地狱”六道不断轮回流转。

   六道有善恶之别，天、人、阿修罗属于三善道；畜生、饿鬼、地狱属于三恶道，亦称三涂，即血涂、刀涂、火涂。

   以修道而言，天道喜欢耽于游乐，阿修罗道虽有天之福却瞋心重，三恶道多苦难、多愚痴，故此五道皆难修行；惟有人道，苦乐参半，智慧较高，最适宜修道。
   佛、菩萨、缘觉、声闻，已证解脱圣果，永离生死，不复往返六道，是出世间的四种圣人。

         世尊释迦牟尼佛为何经常给人们开示十法界？

   诸葛长青认为，慈悲的释迦牟尼佛，希望人们知道十法界内容，提醒人们止恶行善，不要贪恋享受，不要犯过错，不要进入地狱饿鬼道。提醒人们持续五戒十善，持续精进，福慧双修，脱离六道轮回，早日进入佛界。   

   阿弥陀佛。世尊释迦牟尼佛提醒人们，知道十法界后，要确定自己的目标和原则，要向上走，要脱凡入圣，千万不要向下掉。

   正如《大方广佛华严经》说“若人欲了知,三世一切佛,应观法界性,一切唯心造。

 　法界，是世界的别称；所不同的世界是有限的称呼，法界是无限的称呼。因为眼所见的，有形的东西叫做法，意所缘的无形的东西亦叫做法。所以以法为界，纵横含摄，大而无外，就不同那有形限地域的世界了。
　　十法界，是把所有的众生，从性质状态之上，区分为十类，但仍是以法为界，无有限量因的；每类的众生，都是无量无边，不可算数。所谓“世界无边，众生无尽，佛法亦无边无尽。”正显出法界无限的意思。
　　十法界，从极恶到极善、从极苦到极乐、从极低层到极高层的次序排列。六凡法界的众生随他所做的善业，上下升沉，循环不定，所谓：“三恶报穷来善道，六天福尽下尘寰”。

   普通所说的六道轮回，生死不息，就是指的六凡法界的众生。四圣法界的众生，已断烦恼，了生死，跳出三界，不受六道轮回，超凡拔俗，所以称之为圣。虽然佛、菩萨、缘觉、声闻、修证的程度有高低的不等，但他们超出三界，不受轮回生死的痛苦相同，所以总名四圣法界。
　　这十法界的差别，究竟是怎样建立起来的呢?《华严经》说得好：“应观法界性，一切唯心造”。

   十法界，是由每个人自己的心力创出来的。

    诸葛长青认为，一切唯心造，善心善念就会感召建立善的法界；恶心恶念则反之。所以有幸得到人身，大家要持续精进飞跃啊！要向着更高层次全力奋进，加油！！

   把一位善知识撰写的案例说明一下：
　　起了一念极恶的心，就是创造地狱法界的动力；
　　起了一念极悭吝的心，就是创造饿鬼法界的动力；
　　起了—念极愚痴的心，就是创造畜生法界的动力；
　　起了一念极瞋恚的心，就是创造阿修罗法界的动力；
　　起了一念修五戒的心，就是创造人法界的动力；
　　起了一念修十善的心，就是创造天法界的动力；
　　起了一念修四谛法的心，就是创造声闻法界的动力；
　　起了一念修十二因缘法的心，就是创造缘觉法界的动力；
　　起了一念修六度法的心，就是创造菩萨法界的动力；
　　起了一念广大慈悲普遍平等的心，就是创造佛法界的动力。
　　动力是现在所做的业因，法界是将来所感的业果。各人所造的业因不等，所以所得的业果亦不同，于是就有十法界的差别。
　　所以佛陀教人为圣为凡，关键全在修养自己的心力的控制和支配，这也是“擒贼先擒王”的意思。

      诸葛长青。了解十法界，可以帮助我们学习儒释道文化，提升智慧，促进，提升果报。阿弥陀佛，只要行善积德、持续五戒十善，持续福慧双修，就会进入佛界层次。喜欢修行的人，可以根据这十个层次，确定自己目标，加速修行提升自己。

   下面将十法界知识分享有缘者：

   一、佛法界
   诸葛长青：佛是指修行达到佛的层次。譬如释迦牟尼佛、阿弥陀佛、东方琉璃药师佛等。佛是世、出世间，最究竟圆满的圣者，度众功行圆满，达到自觉、觉他、觉满，能够利益一切众生，是出世圣人中最高的境界。
   二、菩萨法界
   诸葛长青：菩萨主要指修行达到菩萨层次，但是那些本是佛身倒驾慈航常驻人间的佛菩萨除外。菩萨，为“菩提萨埵”之简称，意为“觉有情”，谓既能自觉，又能觉悟一切有情。菩萨发大慈悲心，除了转化自己的烦恼，并广修六度万行，以自利利他之行，逐渐圆满一切功德。

   三、缘觉法界
   诸葛长青：缘觉是指辟支佛层次。缘觉，又称“辟支佛”，分为二种：一种是生于佛世，闻佛说十二因缘，修证成道，称为“缘觉”；另一种是生于无佛之世，由前世的善根，春观百花开，秋睹黄叶落，观自心、外境的变迁而悟无常、苦、空、无我的道理，证到缘觉果，称为“独觉”。
   四、声闻法界
   诸葛长青：声闻是指修行达到罗汉层次。罗汉，声闻修习四谛法而得证圣果。声闻极果为阿罗汉，罗汉含有三义：一、杀贼义，谓杀尽烦恼贼。二、应供义，谓已断尽三界诸惑，道高德重，堪受人天供养。三、不生义，谓已出三界，不再受分段生死。
   五、天法界
   诸葛长青：天主要是指欲界天、色界天、无色界天。通俗讲，就是人们常说的神仙层次。欲界天乃修十善所感，所谓十善即身不造杀、盗、淫；口不言妄语、两舌、恶口、绮语；意不行贪、瞋、痴。若修十善，又修四禅八定，将来所感的果报，即是在色界天和无色界天。
   六、阿修罗法界
   诸葛长青：阿修罗是指有福报、有神通法力，但是嗔怒心强烈的神仙层次，低于天界的神仙。过去生修下品十善，但因其持戒、修福，做种种善事时，心存瞋恚、傲慢……等恶念，有天人之福，无天人之德，遂感修罗的果报。
   七、人法界
   诸葛长青：这个人主要是指我们人间的人。受持五戒，来世得生为人。五戒是指不杀生、不偷盗、不邪淫、不妄语、不饮酒。若受上品五戒，则大富大贵，若只持少分戒，虽得人身，却感贫穷或六根不具的果报。由于每一个人戒行持守不同，因此将来所得的果报就有贫富、寿夭、智愚、美丑、高矮……等不同。
   八、畜生法界

   诸葛长青：畜生就是是指我们人间那些天上飞的、地上跑的、水里游的各类动物生灵等。众生因贪欲痴想心，造作下品十恶，而感畜生的果报。畜生道常为他所宰杀，或彼此弱肉强食，互相残害，故又称为“血涂”。
   九、饿鬼法界
   诸葛长青：饿鬼是指飘荡于虚空的饿鬼。他们很可怜，咽细如针，口中喷火，无法吃到食物。我们日常施食，可以借助佛菩萨威力变幻出食物和甘露水救助他们，度化他们。有缘者可以看诸葛长青施食仪轨。若悭贪不舍，不知布施、修福，不明白因果，不遵守戒律，多行恶事，造诸恶业，则感饿鬼的果报。饿鬼道又有胜劣之别，有福者为神，无福者常在饥饿当中，经常受刀杖驱逼之苦，称为“刀涂”。
   十、地狱法界
   诸葛长青：地狱就是指大家日常说的地狱。六道当中，地狱道最苦。凡造五逆十恶、谤法破戒，皆招感地狱果报。在地狱当中，随个人业力所感，苦报与寿命各不相同。地狱有根本地狱、近边地狱、孤独地狱；地狱道众生常受寒冰或猛火的煎熬，故称为“火涂”。
