Realms of Form ([[gzugs kham]]s).


Seventeen samsaric heavenly abodes consisting of the threefold [[four Dhyana Realms]] and the [[five Pure Abodes]]. A subtle divine state of samsaric existence between the desire realm and the formless realm, where sense of smell, sense of taste and sexual organs are absent. The beings there have bodies of light, long lives and no painful sensations. Unwholesome mental factors such as attachment cannot arise. [RY]
