Six Classes of Beings; 六道眾生; Tibetan: རིགསདྲུག (rik druk); Wylie: rigs drug; Sanskrit: Sadgati;

According to Buddhist cosmology, all beings exist in six realms. The Six Classes of Beings (sadgati) are:

  • gods (deva) 天道
  • demi-gods (asura) 阿修羅
  • human beings (manusya) 人道
  • animals (tiryag) 畜生道
  • hungry ghosts (preta) 餓鬼
  • hell beings (naraka) 地獄道

The first 3 belong to the upper realms and the bottom 3 belong to lower realms.

Beings in all six realms exist in samsara, cycle continually through birth and death until attain nirvana. The type of rebirth of a being is determined by karma, actions in the current and previous lives.
