ABSTRACT
Çākyamuni is supposed to have said, “Only one doctrine do I preach.:—suffering and the cessation of suffering.” Certainly the whole essence of Buddhism is bound up in those words.
All sentient beings led astray by ignorance and desire undergo perpetual birth and rebirth in one or another of the six realms of,
1. The Nārakas or Hells. 2. The Preta Realm. 3. The Animal Realm. 4. The Asura Realm. 5. The Human Realm. 6. The Heavens.
