Sentient beings in Buddhism can be approached from the following four major aspects**.
First, Buddhism refers to the fact that sentient beings are divided into 12 categories according to the differences in their rebirths, which are also called "12 types of sentient beings."
1. Oviparous: hatched from eggs, such as fish, birds, turtles, snakes, etc.
2. Viviparity: born from the mother's womb, such as humans, animals, dragons, and immortals.
3. Wet birth: Born from wet places, such as stupid squirming.
4. Metaplasia: From scratch, it is separated from the old form and replaced by the new metamorphosis, such as the transformation of the flight and the like, such as the transformation of the silkworm into a moth.
5. Colored: There are visible colors, such as being shrewd. The stars are auspicious, the murderers are to blame, and the fireflies are all shrewd.
6. Colorless: refers to the absence of tangible color, that is, the emptiness of bulk sales and sinking, such as the colorless realm outside the road.
7. Thoughts: Born from memories, such as gods, ghosts, elves, and the like.
8. Thoughtlessness: It refers to thinking that the mind is unconscious and unconscious, that is, the spirit is transformed into earth, wood, gold and stone, etc.
9. Non-colored: refers to the appearance of the jellyfish and the other as the order, that is, the jellyfish with shrimp as the order and the like.
10. Non-colorless: refers to the ability to be formed by the call, that is, to curse and aversion to life.
11. Non-thinking: refers to borrowing his body to become self-like, that is, Pulu and other heterogeneous forms of the like.
12, not without thinking: refers to the resentment of relatives, that is, the earth owl and other attached pieces for the child, and the broken mirror bird to the poisonous tree fruit for its son, the child becomes, and the parents are eaten by it.
Second, the six realms of beings refer to the six life forms that circulate in samsara, in which sentient beings experience different cycles of birth and death according to their karma and good and evil actions.
1. All beings in heaven enjoy good fortune and live in happiness and happiness.
2. Humane beings, on the other hand, experience all kinds of joys, sorrows, and sorrows, and have the opportunity to practice and seek liberation.
3. Asura path sentient beings are aggressive and jealous, and often clash with heavenly path sentient beings.
4. Animal beings, including all kinds of animals, have a low level of intelligence and consciousness.
5. Hungry ghosts and sentient beings suffer from the pain of hunger.
6. Hell Realm beings are subjected to extreme pain and suffering.
Buddhism believes that the reincarnation of beings in the six realms is impermanent, and liberation from reincarnation is the goal of practice. Through practice and the accumulation of good karma, sentient beings can transcend the bondage of the six realms and reach nirvana.
Thirdly, each thought at the moment is manifested as a sentient being at the moment, optimistic about one's own thoughts.
1. Thinking of goodness is good for all sentient beings.
2. Thinking of evil is evil sentient beings.
3. Obsessed with sentient beings is obsessed with sentient beings.
4. Mind is the consciousness of all beings.
Fourth, every cell that makes up one's body can be seen as one sentient being.
1. Healthy cells are healthy beings.
2. The cells of disease are all beings who are diseased.
3. Living cells are living beings.
4. Dead cells are both dead beings.
