This circle is comprised of six main sections that illustrate life situations and their main conditions which result from the effects of these three poisons in our life. Each of these sections is called a "realm".

Realm of the Hungry Ghosts

* In the area of the hungry ghosts the prevailing attitude is greed and stinginess. Never satisfied, they are constantly in pursuit of more.

Each of these sections also has the image of a radiant Buddha offering hope to every person on the journey. No matter how difficult the circumstances of one's life are at any given moment, the possibility of true liberation is always present.

Contemplation and reflection on these images as well as ideas can help people in their personal growth because they are a powerful mirror of the human condition.
