Asura realm
Tibetan Buddhist Encyclopedia is now 14 years old
Our Encyclopedia recently received a wonderful opportunity for a major renewal on its 14th birthday . After many years of growing our Encyclopedia had become bit slow and sometimes even decided not to answer when people knocked on the door.
A very big thank you and blessings to Dmytro Rudiy (rudiy.nl) for his great work in upgrading the server, website and all of the infrastructure and helping make TBE fast and reliable again for everyone!
We kindly ask our readers to help us cover the cost of this important upgrade and also help with the ongoing costs of keeping the Encyclopedia alive and freely available.

It is a peculiar path in the Six paths.
In terms of material enjoyment and psychic power,
it is similar to Deva.
However, in some aspects, it is even worse than Human Path.
The male Asura is extremely ugly, while the female is as beautiful as an angel.
The male Asura always fights with each other as they are cruel and furious.
They are proud of themselves, and reluctant to learn and practise the Buddhist teachings.
Asuras is a collective term for Yaksas, Raksasas and other demons.
Generally speaking, asuras have cultivated goodness and performed good deeds.
But they are very combative and they get angry very easily.
They love to compete and fight.
Because they have not rid themselves of anger,
they are not qualified for entering heaven and, hence, they fall into the Realm of Asuras.
These ghosts and spirits, though they have benevolent thoughts,
do not have peaceful days because they are so competitive.
So, in order to avoid falling into the Realm of Nature Spirits,
one must retain a heart that is compassionate, righteous, in compliance with propriety, honest and benevolent.
