From the Buddhist teachings of the Wheel of Life – a look at the web of habitual states of mind and emotional patterning (called samsara) that imprison us.
According to these teachings, sentient beings inhabit 6 realms based on their personal history (karma) and tendencies that have evolved since beginningless time – ranging from the fixation on pleasurable circumstances in the “god realm” to the misery and claustrophobia of the “hell realms” – and everything in between.
Meditation (mindfulness/awareness) practice is presented as the principal method to develop awareness of the six realms and liberate ourselves from
them.
