Gods include 3 levels: 1. Buddha God or Immortal God, refers to people who are close to achieving Buddhahood. 2. The Holy Spirit is a loyal patriot who is realized after death. 3. Demon Gods are gods that still eat food offerings to glass, like Asura gods (evil gods). Tien, Sanskrit: Rishi. Also called Immortals, that is, people who practice in the mountains. No longer busy with worldly affairs, relaxed, outside the world, but there are still some subtle afflictions that are not fully connected, which can maintain a life of thousands of years. As for the class of fairies that people translate as devas (Sanskrit: Deva), they are people in the world who have a lot of merit and virtue, and when they are reincarnated, they go to the heavens of desire, form or formlessness. These fairies all have beautiful, bright bodies.
