''Trailokya'' ((サンスクリット:त्रैलोक्य); (パーリ語:tiloka), ) has been translated as "three worlds,"〔Monier-Williams (1899), p. 460, col. 1, entry for "()loka" (retrieved at http://www.sanskrit-lexicon.uni-koeln.de/scans/MWScan/MWScanpdf/mw0460-trimala.pdf) and p. 462, col. 2, entry for "Trailoya" (retrieved at http://www.sanskrit-lexicon.uni-koeln.de/scans/MWScan/MWScanpdf/mw0462-tripu.pdf).〕〔Rhys Davids & Stede (1921-25), p. 301, entry for "Ti-" (retrieved at http://dsal.uchicago.edu/cgi-bin/philologic/getobject.pl?p.1:129.pali). Here, ''tiloka'' is compared with ''tebhūmaka'' ("three planes").〕〔Fischer-Schreiber ''et al.'' (1991), p. 230, entry for "Triloka." Here, synonyms for ''triloka'' include ''trailokya'' and ''traidhātuka''.〕〔〔Purucker (1999), entry for "Trailokya" (retrieved at http://www.theosociety.org/pasadena/etgloss/tho-tre.htm).〕 "three spheres,"〔 "three planes of existence,"〔 "three realms"〔Berzin (2008) renders ''khams-gsum'' (Wylie; Tibetan) and ''tridhatu'' (Sanskrit) as "three planes of existence" and states that it is "()ometimes called 'the three realms.'" ''Tridhatu'' is a synonym of ''triloka'' where ''dhatu'' may be rendered as "dimension" or "realm" and ''loka'' as "world" or even "planet."〕 and "three regions."〔Blavatsky (1892), pp. 336-7, entry for "Trailokya" (retrieved at http://www.phx-ult-lodge.org/ATUVWXYZ.htm#t).〕 These three worlds are identified in Hinduism and already appear in early Buddhist texts. == Buddhist cosmology == In Buddhism, the three worlds refer the following destinations for karmic rebirth : * Kāmaloka is the world of desire, typified by base desires, populated by hell beings, preta, animals, ghosts, humans and lower demi-gods. * Rūpaloka is the world of form, predominately free of baser desires, populated by dhyāna-dwelling gods, possible rebirth destination for those well practiced in dhyāna. * Arūpaloka is the world of formlessness, a noncorporeal realm populated with four heavens, possible rebirth destination for practitioners of the four formlessness stages.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Trailokya」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
