Undefended Dharma with Mary Stancavage

The Six Realms of Saṃsāra

January 29, 2024 • Mary Stancavage

Buddha taught that the six realms of Saṃsāra are where we are caught in the continuing cycle of birth, death and rebirth. We only become free when we are free of craving or clinging, and see clearly into the characteristics of existence. These realms can also be viewed as psychological states that we experience from day to day - the heaven realms of pleasure and the hell realms of suffering. In this talk Mary discusses how we can use this lens as a way to view where we get stuck in Saṃsāra and how to move along the path to liberation.
