五道


(1) The five destinies: Hell-being 地狱, hungry ghost 饿鬼, animal 畜生, human being 人间 and god 天上. Also written wuqu 五趣 (gati-pan~caka). When you add the category of asura 阿修罗 to the five destinies, you then have six destinies 六道. (2) Five paths taught in Yoga^ca^ra texts that constitute five stages in the removal of affliction and the attainment of enlightenment. These are: the path of preparation 资粮道, the path of expedient means 方便道, the path of seeing 见道, the path of cultivation 修道 and the culminating path 究竟道. [对法论T 1606.31.734b23-29]
