brahma (brahmã): Celestial beings who inhabit the first three realms of the Fine Material World. Beings reborn into those sublime realms are said to have some experience with the meditative absorptions (jhãna). Consequently, brahmas have extremely refined bodies composed of pure light and experience extremely refined degrees of mental pleasure. When the good kamma that sent them to those realms is finally exhausted, these beings pass away and are reborn again somewhere else, in a realm of existence suitable to their remaining kamma.
梵天(brahmā):天道衆生之一,住于叁界中的色界。能生于這微妙的天界據說是因爲有禅修入色界禅的體驗。梵天的身體由光組成,非常微細。他們也體驗極端微妙的心理喜悅。當投生梵天的業力最後耗盡時,他們會逝去,並依照余下的業力投生至相應的生命。
