  • Summary

  • In this episode, Martino talks about the Buddhist keyword gati, or "destiny," a term that offers reflection on the cyclical nature of existence and the moral foundations of rebirth.

    Discussed in this episode: gati (translating to “destiny”) refers to one of the five or six realms within saṃsāra where rebirth may occur. These realms, arranged in ascending order of desirability, include nāraka (“hell denizens”), preta (“hungry ghosts”), tiryak (“animals”), manuṣya (“humans”), deva (“gods”), and occasionally asura(“demigods”). Embedded within the trilokadhātu (“Three Realms”), these destinies encompass the entirety of our universe, from the depths of the hells beneath the continent of Jambudvīpa, to the celestial heights of Mount Sumeru, the towering mountain at the center of the Buddhist cosmos, and beyond.
