The desire realm (Sanskrit: ''kāmadhātu'') is one of the trailokya or three realms (Sanskrit: ''dhātu'', Tibetan: ''khams'') in Buddhist cosmology into which a being wandering in ' may be reborn. The other two are the form realm, (Sanskrit ''rūpadhātu'') and the formless realm (S. ''ārūpadhātu'').〔http://www.berzinarchives.com/web/en/about/glossary/glossary_tibetan.html_80737389.html〕 Within the desire realm are either five or six domains (Sanskrit: ''gati'', also sometimes translated as "realm"). In Tibetan Buddhism, there are six domains () and in Theravada Buddhism there are only five, because the domain of the asuras is not regarded as separate from that of the ''devas''. Taoism also features the five realms.〔(道教生死观及其与佛教的关系 )〕〔:zh:s:太上說轉輪五道宿命因緣經〕〔(老君太上虚无自然本起经 )〕〔(62 四月十七日十殿轉輪王 )〕 The ''Śūraṅgama Sūtra'' in Mahayana Buddhism regarded the 10 kinds of xian as a separate Immortal realm between the deva and human realms.〔(The Shurangama Sutra text )〕〔(辨《楞严经》十种仙 )〕 The thirty-one realms are also known as the "thirty-one paths of rebirth", the "six paths of suffering", the "six planes", and the "six lower realms". They stand in contrast to the higher attainments of the Ten spiritual realms. Previous actions and thoughts determine which of the six domains a sentient being is reborn into. The 8th century Buddhist monument Borobudur in Central Java incorporated the trailokya into the architectural design with the plan of mandala that took the form of a stepped stone pyramid crowned with stupas. ==The Six Domains== The six domains of the desire realm are as follows: *the god (Sanskrit, Pali: ''deva'') domain *the jealous god (S., P.: ''asura'') domain *the human (S. ''manuṣya,'' P. ''manussa'') domain *the animal (S. ''tiryagyoni,'' P. ''tiracchānayoni'') domain *the hungry ghost (S. ''preta,'' P. ''petta'') domain *the hell (S: ''naraka,'' P. ''niraya'') domain 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「desire realm」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
