Hi lal.. I read your article about
What Reincarnates? – Concept of a Lifestream
There (point #4) you write:
” Even after becoming a Bodhisatta, it is possible to be born in the animal realm (but NOT in the other three realms in the apāyās.)”
I found on Wikipedia, during the time of Anomadassi Buddha, the bodhisattva (Gautama Buddha) became Asura..

Is Asura here the realm of Asura or Asura god?
Thanks lal 😊🙏
Good householder,
that’s certain in the realm of the “Four Kings”, Cātumahārājikā.
(btw. there is not really any evidence that a Buddha-to-become might be aware of such, or practices Paramis. It’s nonsensical to go after Buddhahood aware of Buddha-Dhamma. It’s a terrible misleading for those who would have a change to escape suffering here.)
