The 3 Lokas and 31 Realms

There are 3 lokas and 31 realms of reincarnate possibilities, and only the human has the ability to transverse all these 3 lokas and 31 realms before becoming the Buddha.




I have numbered the very bottom of the 3 lokas and 31 realms, niraya "hell," as 31, and the very top of these 3 lokas and 31 realms structure human can achieve before one becoming of the Buddha as 1 for my own easy reference of these 3 lokas and 31 realms structure. 




Notice that humans belong to the 27th plane from the top (the 5th from the bottom).
