Spiritual 9 Layer Kueh Lapis
refer to 9 Spiritual Class :-
Upper Class – made up of 3 Spiritual Sub-Class – mainly associated to Religious People. (Not sub-categorising)
Middle Class - made up of 3
Spiritual Sub-Class – mainly
associated to Layperson leading a religious or righteous life. (Not
sub-categorising)
Lower Class - made up of 3
Spiritual Sub-Class – mainly
associated with people indulge in vice that are classified into realms
associated with 3 evil roots :-
(a) Ignorance – with vice characteristics associated with Animal Realm.
(b) Greed – with vice characteristics associated with Hungry Ghost Realm – eg. Gambling is one.
(c) Hatred – with vice characteristics associated with Hell Realm – eg. Killing, murdering, hatred.
Most Religions will not want
to dabble with these 3 Lower Spiritual Class – as they are fraught with dangers and maybe led astray ----
(Note :- Even Heavenly Beings will not tread into this. Even Elder Theravada Buddhism where the highest Attainment is Arahat – will not want to tread into).
Only Mahayana Buddhism – whereby Buddha and Boddhisattvas that possess the No-Self,
Compassion, Insights and Wisdoms will possess the quality to tread into these 3 Lower Spiritual Class – to liberate these sentinent beings without getting themselves
into danger and degenerate into these realms.
佛不下地狱,谁下地狱。
Thus, even Theravada
spiritual text – Pali Canon
– does not have this discourse
– but only found in Mahayana
Buddhism that expound the Boddhisattva Path.
(In Mundane World, Wise Government will have to deal with these
wholesomely – as there is no right or
wrong in these 3 Spiritual SubClass – only wholesome or unwholesome).
