Thank you for this clarification, sir.

  • I now understand more clearly what Lord Buddha meant by “it is extremely rare to grasp and hold human bhava”. Even though one can be reborn as a human several times within one bhava, the majority of people develop Kamma bhava, which leads to Uppatti Bhava of the 4 apayas during their Jathī (They commit Anantariyas Papa Kammas and hold destructive mental states). This is why when we are puthujunas, we must be very careful with our states of mind. When one becomes a Sotāpanna, the Kamma Bhava, which leads to the Uppatti Bhava of the 4 apayas, is eliminated.
  • When one becomes a Sakadāgāmi, the Kamma Bhava, which leads to the Uppatti Bhava corresponding to the realms below the deva realms, is eliminated.
  • When one becomes an anagami, the Kamma bhava which leads to the Uppatti Bhava corresponding to the Kāma loka is eliminated.
  • When one becomes an arahant, one will experience Kamma bhava but it will not generate any Uppatti Bhava which leads to the 31 realms. All Kamma Bhava is destroyed during Parinibbāna.
