	six lower spiritual realms - Anarchopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		The deva realm is sometimes also referred to as the gods realm, because its inhabitants are so powerful, they resemble the gods of Greek or Roman mythology.
		However, while the devas may be referred to as gods, they are not seen as omniscient or omnipotent creators, so they are notably distinct from the monotheistic concept of God.
		Note that the sentient beings in the hell realm are sometimes referred to as demons, which can cause confusion, because this term is also used to refer to beings in the asura realm.

	Buddhism's "six realms of existence" - China History Forum, chinese history forum
		The realm of the devas is the form of existence that is closest to spiritual enlightenment and Nirvana.
		The important thing is that both the realms of devas and humans are considered to be good realms while the other four are considered to be bad realms.
		Devas can pursue enlightenment as I have mentioned, but it is a lot more difficult than being human since they are way too happy to care about leaving the re-incarnation.

		The second of the higher realms and the fifth realm in samsara is the realm of the Asuras or non gods.
		You then imagine that you are born in and stuck in this realm, and that you are undergoing the suffering of an asura now because their nature is jealousy, their principal suffering is unsuccessful warfare against the gods, and you imagine all the experiences of being killed and wounded.
		Because the deva realm and life in the deva realm is so pleasant, when they see signs of their impending death,[ they do sometime,] before it occurs, they suffer terribly because of what they are losing.

	Buddhist Psych 1: the Realms
		The "realms" are psychological states in and out of which human beings cycle in their daily experience.
		However, the higher realms are very pleasurable and fulfilling in a variety of ways, so it can be a challenge to develop the motivation to snap out of it.
		In the Human Realm, which is to say, ordinary, self-aware daily experience, we have enough consciousness to see the processes of the Kleshas, to see that the solidity of our obsession comes from mental fixation, not reality.

	A Commentary on the Oghatarana Sutta
		A deva could be reborn in the same realm, a higher realm, or a lower realm-it all depends on the ripening of the deva's karma.
		Devas show up during the middle watch of the night, while the Buddha is alone; occasionally he reports back to the sangha the next morning, but in most suttas he doesn't.
		Regarding the gender of the devas, it should be mentioned that the Pali term devata, although grammatically the feminine form of deva, does not necessarily connote a female deity, but is rather an abstract noun that had come to refer to a specific celestial entity.

	THIRTY ONE FORMS OF EXISTENCES / tinhtut9.htm
		A human can take rebirth in the realms of Devas and Brahmas if one has done enough good deeds, has kept the five precepts (refrain from killing, stealing, sexual misconduct, telling lies, taking intoxicants) and has practised meditation to cleanse the mind.
		This realm is shared between Brahmas who have practised Samatha and Vipassana meditation during their life as humans.
		Those Brahmas who have practised Samatha only can be reborn into lower realms after dying, but those who have practised Vipassana and have attained the Ariya stage can be reborn in this realm again or a higher realm.

	Teachings from the Vajrasattva Retreat
		Depending on their karma and on the person who does the puja—that person’s qualities and the karma of the person who passed away—depending on both, they can be born instead in a pure land or receive a higher rebirth, such as a human, or a worldly god in the deva realm.
		Instead of being born in the lower realms, the person can reincarnate in the human or deva realms or even in a pure land, depending on the person’s karma and the qualities of the person who performs the puja.
		You cannot be free from all the sufferings of the human and deva realms—the sura and asura realms, the realms of those worldly gods—or of the three lower realms—the hell, hungry ghost and animal realms.

	A Basic Buddhism Guide: Differences From Other Religions. (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		In Buddhism, the ultimate objective of followers/practitioners is enlightenment and/or liberation from Samsara; rather than to go to a Heaven (or a deva realm in the context of Buddhist cosmology).
		Samsara is a fundamental concept in Buddhism and it is simply the 'perpetual cycles of existence' or endless rounds of rebirth among the six realms of existence.
		All other religions preach one heaven, one earth and one hell, but this perspective is very limited compared with Buddhist samsara where heaven is just one of the six realms of existence and it has 28 levels/planes.
