Question asked by Gim Lee
Dear Rinpoche, very sorry my earlier question was cut shorter… here is my full question: What is the body of beings in the Demi-god (Asura) realm and Hell realm made of? I read from some Dharma books that the beings in Heaven are made of light, whereas the human and animals are the 5 elements; as for the ghost realm, Rinpoche has kindly explained before in one of your blog posts. Thank you in advance. With folded hands,
Dear Gim Lee,
Each realm have special bodies to experience the results of karma. For example in the hell realms, they have very strong resistant bodies to endure much pain without ‘dying’. Demi Gods have bodies that can last thousands of years.
The bodies come as a result of their bodies. TR
