When any one of the six classes of beings dies, he must be born again in some one of these same six classes, for there are no other possible ways (gati) of life, and he cannot pass into plants, stones, and inorganic matter, as in the Brahmanical system (see p. 108). If he be born again in one of the hells he is not thereby debarred from seeking salvation, and even if he be born in heaven as a god, he must at some time or other leave it and seek after a higher...

He who has attained to the "Fruit" of this "Third Stage" is called Anagami or Non-Returner and can never be reborn on earth but passes to the highest heavens (Suddhavasa), whence he attains Nibbana. IV. The "Fourth Stage" is that wherein one becomes perfectly free, after having cast off the remaining five "Fetters": (f) Ruparaga or "Lust for Corporeal Life".

Similarly with respect to perception and the rest. Accordingly he laid down only five groups, because these sum up and classify, according to their affinities, all the constituents of being.

Such gods existed in subtle corporeal forms, and, though not omnipotent, were capable of working benefit or harm. They were subject to the universal law of dissolution , and after death were succeeded by others, so that there was not one Brahma or one Sakra, but many successive deities so named, and many classes...
Seite 23 - ... (Hardy, p. 392). In short, the constant revolving of the wheel of life in one eternal circle, according to fixed and immutable laws, is perhaps after all the sum and substance of the philosophy of Buddhism. And this eternal wheel or circle has, so to speak, six spokes representing six forms of existence. When any one of the six classes of beings dies, he must be born again in some one of these same six classes, for there are no other possible ways (gati) of life, and he cannot pass into plants,...
