Welcome to today's episode on the six realms of rebirth. We'll talk about the six realms: hell beings, hungry ghosts, animals, humans, demi-gods, and gods -- don't worry, I'll explain them all in detail. And for those who don't believe in literal rebirth, in the next episode (available now) we'll also talk about how to take these teachings metaphorically and the ways reflecting on them can enrich your spiritual practice.
