Unfortunates in a hell-hall at Daxingshan Temple, Xi’an

Buddhist cosmology teaches something like the western idea of a "chain" of beings. We're going to take a look at each of the six levels of being in Buddhist cosmology and, more importantly, learn how they line up with various character or personality types found amongst our fellow humans.

So much excitement in this episode of

TEMPLE TALES!
