Pure-lands awareness (Buddhism, Tibetan)

  • Suddhavasa

Description

This state of awareness is characterized by well-being and is represented as the highlands of the form-realm where five levels of gods exist, high about Mount Meru. Actually, the fifth state, the unsurpassed (akanistha), in the Game of Ascension, is not classed here but higher, as a "supreme heaven".

Context

In Tibetan Sakya Buddhism this is one of the states in the "Ascension Stages Game". In some sets it is numbered 37 on the board.
