omegaverse hierarchy

The hierarchy of Buddhism was more complicated. The following were some common rankings: ** 1. Cultivation Achievement Level ** 1. ** Householder Level ** - ** Recently served male/female **: Male/female believers at home, accept the three converted and five precepts or ten good precepts. - ** Nearby Living Man/Woman **: A layman who regularly practices the Eight Gates of fasting or a layman who becomes a monk for a short period of time. 2. ** Monks 'Levels ** - ** Shami/Shami **: A young man/woman monk who holds the Ten Commandments. - ** Shichamuni **: A female monk who had been under observation for two years to become a bhikshuni, but no longer exists in some traditions. - ** Bhikhu/Bhikshuni **: A male or female monk who holds 250 full precepts and is a core member of the Buddhist Sangha. 3. ** Enlightenment Fruit Level ** - ** Four Goa Arhats **: Saints who completely cut off their worries and achieve Nirvana through cultivation. In Hinayana Buddhism, they were the main targets of practitioners. Maha Kasyapa and Ananda, among the top ten disciples of Buddha, were all arhats. - ** Bodhisattva **: In Mahayana Buddhism, Bodhisattvas are cultivators who develop a broad Bodhi heart and pursue becoming Buddhas for the benefit of all sentient beings, such as Manjushri Bodhisattva, Samantabhadra Bodhisattva, Guanyin Bodhisattva, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, etc. - [Buddha: Those who are completely enlightened are the highest level, such as Shakyamuni Buddha, the past Buddha, the Burning Lamp Buddha, the future Buddha, Maitreya Buddha, and so on.] Different sects had different understandings and degrees of importance to these enlightenment stages. Southern Buddhism (Theravada Buddhism) valued arhats, while Mahayana Buddhism believed that the Bodhisattva Way was more thorough and aimed to achieve Buddhahood to broaden the lives of all beings. ** 2. In terms of the hierarchy of Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and Arhats in the Buddhist system ** - [Buddha: The highest level, for those who are completely enlightened. For example, the Three World Buddhas (Past, Present, and Future. The Three World Buddhas include Medicine Buddha of the Eastern Pure Glazed World, Sakyamuni Buddha of the Saha World, and Amitabha Buddha of the Western Paradise World; the Three World Buddhas include the Present Buddha, Sakyamuni Buddha of the Past, Dipamkara Buddha of the Future, Maitreya Buddha, etc.).] - Bodhisattva: The status is second only to Buddha. It is a cultivator who has only reached the two realms of self-awareness and enlightenment. He has not yet reached the perfection of enlightenment and needs to achieve the Buddha fruit in the future. For example, Manjushri, Samantabhadra, Avalokitesvara, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, and Great Bodhisattva are often worshipped in monasteries. The Bodhisattva assisted the Buddha in spreading the Dharma to save the people. - ** Arhat **: The full name of Arhat. In Mahayana Buddhism, it was lower than Buddha and Bodhisattva, and was the third level. In Hinayana Buddhism, Arhat was the highest level that could be achieved by cultivation. Buddhism believes that attaining the status of Arhat means that all troubles are cut off, and that one should be supplied by the heavenly beings and no longer be reborn. In addition, in Tibetan Buddhism, Buddha statues were divided into different categories, including the Buddha, Bodhisattva, Guru, Dharmakaya, Dharma, Dakini, and other departments. This also reflected the different levels or roles in the Buddhist system, but this division was more from the perspective of Buddha statue worship and religious culture. There were also three levels of Buddhist belief: those who believed in Buddhism, those who believed in Buddhism, and those who were true Buddhists. However, this was not a hierarchy in the sense of cultivation. While waiting for the TV series, you can also click on the link below to read the classic original work of "Dafeng Nightwatchman"!

The Confucianists divided people into different levels, with the goal of promoting moral cultivation, the concept of human perfection, and the regulation of social order. From a broad perspective, the Confucians divided people into three classes, namely, gentlemen, villains, and commoners. A gentleman had noble moral character and outstanding ability, and his code of conduct was benevolence, loyalty, and humility. A villain lacked moral cultivation and noble character, and often pursued personal gain. A commoner was an ordinary class with relatively ordinary moral cultivation and ability. The Confucians divided people into six classes: scholars, farmers, workers, merchants, children, and women. Scholars were the elites of society and needed to have noble moral character, talent, and leadership. Farmers, workers, and merchants represented basic working people such as farmers, craftsmen, and merchants, providing material needs for society. Children and women were vulnerable groups and needed special protection and care. Finally, the Confucians divided people into nine grades, namely the four schools, three dukes, and nine ministers. This classification was more targeted at the hierarchy of bureaucracies and positions in order to implement effective governance and social management. During the feudal period, the hierarchy of Confucianism helped to maintain the ruler's concentrated rule and establish a stable ruling order, allowing society to operate in a stable and orderly manner. Although modern society had undergone tremendous changes, and people no longer defined and evaluated their status completely according to this hierarchical system, Confucianism had a profound influence on shaping China traditional culture.

The concept of hierarchy in Confucianism originated from the patriarch system of ancient China, which was the embodiment of social order at that time. The monarch was the subject, the father was the son, and the husband was the wife. This concept of hierarchy was often misunderstood as the concept of superiority and inferiority, but in fact, it emphasized that everyone should do their part and get their place. For example, in a family, parents were the main source of income for the family, children were filial, and siblings helped each other. In society, different people had different occupations and roles, and everyone should do their part. However, the Confucian concept of hierarchy also had certain drawbacks. For example, the obvious difference between classes could lead to social injustice and instability. At the same time, it should also be noted that although the concept of hierarchy in Confucianism and the concept of equality in modern society were different in form, they were not completely opposite. The modern concept of equality emphasized that everyone enjoyed equal rights and opportunities while respecting individual differences and ensuring basic rights. This was similar to the Confucian concept of hierarchy that emphasized equality of personality and respect for individual personality and dignity. In today's society, we can take the beneficial elements of Confucianism such as emphasizing personal dignity and each person's responsibility to enrich and develop the concept of equality in modern society.

The cosmic system was divided into the following levels: The first level was Earth, with a scale of 1.3×10 KM; the second level was the Earth-Moon system, with a scale of 4×10 KM; the third level was the Solar System, with a scale of 1× 10¹¹KM (4 light-years); the fourth level was the Milky Way, with a scale of 1 ×10¹ KM (100,000 light-years); the fifth level was the local galaxy group, with a scale of 1 × 1022km (10 million light-years); the sixth level was the Virgo Supercluster, with a scale of 2× 1023km (200 million light-years); the seventh level was the cosmic web, with a scale of 1× 1023km (10 billion light-years); The eighth level was the visible universe, with a scale of 0.96× 102 KM (96 billion light-years), and the ninth level was the multiverse, with an unknown scale.

The underworld was divided according to the difficulty of the snow path. Generally speaking, snow trails were divided into three colors: green, blue, black, and sometimes red. The green path was a beginner path with a slope of about 6% to 25%, the blue path was an intermediate path with a slope of about 25% to 40%, and the black path was an advanced path with a slope of more than 40%. The slope of the snow trail was the main basis for the rating, but other special circumstances would also be taken into account, such as the most difficult part of the snow trail. In addition, some snow fields also used color combinations to indicate the difficulty of the snow path. In general, the underworld was the most difficult snow path, suitable for advanced and expert snowboarders.
