four noble worlds
四聖 (Jpn shi-sho or shi-sei )
The highest four of the Ten Worlds—the realms of voice-hearers, cause-awakened ones, bodhisattvas, and Buddhas. The term is contrasted with the six paths, or six lowest of the Ten Worlds. These four noble worlds are also regarded as the states in which one makes efforts to transcend the uncertainty of the six paths, where one is controlled by earthly desires and governed by an ever-changing environment, and to establish independence or release from the control of earthly desires and external changes.
