There are six realms of transmigration where beings take birth. They are the realms of gods, demigods, humans, animals, hungry ghosts, and hell. You take birth in those realms because of superior, middling, and evil karmas. Buddha Shakyamuni
Conquer anger with non-anger. Conquer badness with goodness. Conquer meanness with generosity. Conquer dishonesty with truth. Buddha Shakyamuni
All tremble at violence; all fear death. Putting oneself in the place of another, one should not kill nor cause another to kill.
Attentiveness is the path to true life; Indifference is the path to death. The attentive do not die; The indifferent are as if they are dead already. Buddha Shakyamuni
