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..
References

Is Asura here the realm of Asura or Asura god?
Thanks lal 😊🙏

I don’t know the accuracy of that statement in Wikipedia.
- If it is true, then it must be “Asura god.”

@Lvalio asked: “Links please from wikipedia…”
The Wikipedia link @waisaka refers to is this article on “Anomadassi”. Below is the text referred to.
Gotama Buddha getting the omen
At Anomadassi’s time, Gotama Buddha was a Biru (English: Ogre, Burmese:ဘီလူး) leader. After listening to the teachings of the Buddha, he invited him and his disciples to his place. He fed them and filled their needs for seven days. After a week of donation, Anomadassi said:
“This ogre will become a Buddha named Gotama in the Bhadda kalpa that will appear after many aeons.”
The incarnation of Gotama Buddha, having his wish granted, decided to practice Pāramitā.
In the Wikipedia, its refer the future Gotama Buddha as Biru (or Ogre) leader, but in the “The great Chronicles of the Buddhas” by Sayadaw, Mingun (revised 2008), [page 189] the future Gotoma Buddha was refer to as Yakkha General.

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.)
