XII TAI SITUPA RINPOCHE |
Quoted by
KHENPO KARTHAR RINPOCHE:
- THERE ARE SIX REALMS BECAUSE THERE ARE SIX POISONS
DEFILEMENTS OF THE MIND
-
Hatred,
or anger, which creates the experience of the hell
realm;
-
Greed,
or miserliness, which creates the hungry ghost realm;
-
Ignorance
of how to act virtuously is the cause of rebirth in the
animal realm;
-
Attachment (virtuous action
performed with attachment to the meritorious results) is
the cause of human rebirth;
-
Jealousy
(virtuous action sullied by jealousy) causes rebirth in
the demigod realm; and
-
Pride,
or egotism (virtuous action performed with pride) causes
a godly rebirth.
