Master Huijing’s Short Dharma Teachings about Right View on Buddhist teachings
佛法知見
The Nirvana Sutra says, “Though a person attains the body of Brahma heaven, or even the Heaven of Non-Perception and No Non-Perception, he will fall into the Three Wretched Realms at the end of his life.”
Brahma heaven is the First Dhyana Heaven in the Form Domain. It is extremely difficult for a practioner to be reborn as a human being in his next life, not to mention being born in heaven or the Form Domain.
From the Form Domain, the practitioner can reach from the First Dhyana to the Fourth Dhyana through meditative practices. Over the past two decades until now, the only monastic who has been able to practice meditative virtues is Master Guangqin.
The Heaven of Non-Perception and No Non-Perception is the highest of all, where the lifespan of the beings can be as high as 84,000 kalpas.

《涅槃經》言：「雖復得受梵天之身，乃至非想非非想天，命終還墮三惡道中。」
梵天就是色界天的初禪，一個人修行，下輩子能夠再生而為人就非常的不容易了，何況是生天，更何況生到色界天。
色界天是能夠入定到初禪乃至四禪的，到現在，出家界當中修行能夠入定的，二十幾年前就是廣欽老和尚，可是除了廣欽老和尚以外，近二十年來，幾乎不曾聽過。
非想非非想天是無色界天最高的一層天，壽命是八萬四千大劫。
Namo Amituofo!
