Immigration Within the Six Realms 

J.K. Hirano 

Give me your tired, your poor, 

Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, 

The wretched refuse of your teeming shore; 

Send these, the homeless, the tempest-tost to me, 

I lift my lamp beside the golden door. 

The New Colossus, Emma Lazarus 

In Buddhism we divide the world we 

live in into six realms (rokudo). These 

realms are; hell (jigoku) gaki (hungry 

ghosts) chikusho (beasts) ashura (fighting demons) 

human beings (ningen) and tenjin (heavenly 

beings). In our everyday life we move from realm 

to realm. Our goal is to try to live within the realm 

of human beings, for it is only within this realm 

that enlightenment is possible. 

In the lower realms of existence we cannot 

gain enlightenment because of the constant 

suffering we are in. It drives us beyond the ability 

to even imagine an escape. Our lives are 

controlled by instincts alone. It is a world without 

empathy, altruism or even the ability for self 

reflection. It is a world of self entitlement. 

Happiness will never be found in this world. 

Buddhism teaches us that happiness can only be 

found by giving to others, in these realms we live 

by the motto “What do I need and want” not “What 

may I do for others.” 

In the realm of heavenly beings, 

enlightenment is also not possible. Within this 

realm pleasure is the goal. There is a difference 

between pleasure and happiness. Pleasure is like 

traveling to Japan in business class on Japan 

Airlines. For the thirteen-hour flight you are kept 

as comfortable as possible. When you want 

something to drink, you ring a bell and it is 

brought to you. When you are hungry, you ring a 

bell and they bring it to you. For entertainment 

you have a video screen in front of you. However, 

when that flight ends and your next flight is not in 

business class, all you can think of is how to get 

back to business class. You have now been 

transported from the heavenly realm back to the 

realm of the hungry ghost, constantly looking for 

more. While in those cramped seats of economy 

class, you long for the pleasure of the reclining 

business class section. It is a vicious cycle 

between the lower realms and the heavenly realm, 

back and forth.

issue 6 web site: slbuddhist.org June, 2007 

My generation, the baby boomers that are 

now defining much of our public policy, have 

lived in a society of entitlement. Most of us never 

been to war. I remember the Vietnam War, but the 

draft ended before I was 18 and I had no interest in 

joining the military. The army was used as a threat 

by my father. If I didn’t hurry and graduate from 

college he would make me join the army. The 

Vietnam war was a very unpopular war, shouldn’t 

all wars be unpopular 

I believe that as a result of the brutal 

devastation witnessed and experienced by my 

parent’s generation during World War II, their 

societal consciousness realized how bad any war 

could be. Those generations wished that their 

children never experienced the atrocity and fear 

war brings out; gold star mothers, concentration 

camps both Nazi and domestic, rationing of basic 

necessities such as food and gas. Many from this 

generation were also the children of immigrants. 

These immigrants came from Germany, Italy, 

Greece, Japan, China, to build a better life for their 

children and the future generations. 

Asian families had experienced the various 

Asian exclusion laws that had tried to limit Asian 

immigration. There were national laws such as 

The Chinese exclusion Act of 1882, The Geary Act 

of 1892, the Page Law of 1875. Asian peoples 

immigrating to the United States at that time were 

called the Yellow Peril. The popular press often 

explained how “Orientals” were dirty or less then 

Human. As a result, it was very easy to shuttle the 

Japanese Americans, may who were U.S. citizens, 

off to concentration camps during World War II. 

My generation experienced very little of 

what my parent’s generation had. We lived in 

relative luxury by comparison, business and first 

class living accommodations. Our lives go in 

cycles, we have returned to the lower realms back 

to the economy seats. Once again we are on the 

verge of World War. Once again we fear 

immigration. The shrieks of Ashura (fighting 

demons) and Gaki (hungry ghosts) are all around 

us. Where is the voice or our human spirit 

My dog and cat, Ponzu and Baby, always 

fight over territory in our house. I can hear Baby 

hissing and Ponzu growling in the middle of the 

night. I have to yell at them to stop their fighting. 

There are times when I have left them alone for the 

night. When I return in the morning I can smell cat 

urine or Ponzu will have pooped on the carpet. It 

really makes me mad and I have to tell myself, 

“They are only animals marking their territory. 

They can’t help it. They don’t know any better.” 

Until they can go beyond this type of thinking, I 

wonder about their ever gaining enlightenment. 

Over they past few weeks, I have been 

reading and hearing about immigration reform. 

Our country is built by immigrants. The only 

natives to this land are the Native Americans and 

they probably came from Asia. When we speak of 

the glories of the United States and extol our 

national values, we often bring up the image of the 

statue of liberty. On the base of the statue of 

liberty is a passage from the poem The New 

Colossus. I have begun this article with this 

passage. This is the essence of this experiment in 

democracy we call the United States. Nowhere in 

this poem are exceptions to race, creed, color or 

national origins. This is a very human voice. I 

have heard the voice of opposition to the 

immigration reform over the news. Men and 

women speaking about how it will take away from 

what we have as Americans if we allow too much 

immigration into this country. I heard one woman 

saying, “Why don’t they just go back to where they 

came from.” As I listen to this type of thinking in 

attitude, it reminds me of Ponzu and Baby marking 

their territory. It smells the same, it looks and feels 

the same, only this time coming from the mouths 

of beings in human form. I hope that my 

children’s generation can come back to live in the 

human realm. It is possible. Let freedom ring.

President’s Message 

Stan Endo 

It has been a great month! This year’s 

Hanamatsuri was well attended and 

enjoyed by all. Thanks to Tracy 

Akimoto for coordinating the program and the 

Dharma School and BWA for the delicious 

luncheon. Also, thanks to Troy Watanabe for 

donating speakers and securing the donation of 

an amplifier for the gymnasium. Without this 

equipment, we would not have a PA system. 

This year, the Nihon Matsuri Festival was 

phenomenal and attendance was never better. 

Thank you to Sherrie Koga for coordinating the 

festival booths and the Temple’s Crafts Booth. 

Many thanks to those involved with the 

preparation and the selling of the box lunches. 

The Salt Lake and Ogden Buddhist Temple 

members worked very hard in preparing the box 

lunches that was a fantastic collaborative effort. 

Finally, the Jr. YBA kids did a great job of 

selling shaved ice. 

WOW, what a great Sangha!!!! THANKS to all 

who worked so hard at this years spring cleanup. 

Many people worked very hard cleaning, 

scrubbing, organizing and fixing inside and 

outside. Please thank Ernie Kyed for organizing 

this effort and leading the crew that put down 

new rock in the back. To be more specific, 10 

tons of rock was moved (20,000 pounds) by 

hand. Domo Arigato to the BWA for the 

delicious lunch. Also, thanks to the BWA for 

their continued cleaning of the Hondo. 

PLEASE, let’s all take pride in the temple and 

the west building and keep it clean and 

maintained. 

I would like to welcome the Joe Warner to the 

Sangha. Joe recently joined the temple along 

with Daniel Lindsey who joined the Jr. YBA.
