Greenfig and strudeldog: I am sorry I have tried many times to sense the cultivar names of your fig trees, but I was block by high level spirits from accessing them.
Our universe has thirty-one distinct "planes" or "realms" of existence into which beings can be reborn during their long wandering through samsara. These range from the extraordinarily grim and painful hell realms all the way up to the most exquisitely refined and blissful heaven realms. Existence in every realm is temporary; in Buddhist cosmology there is no eternal heaven or hell. Beings are born into a particular realm according to their past karma. karma is the universal law of cause and effect. Karma is an action caused reaction. Karma causes effects that come back to the original actor. We bear the consequences of the karma we create, but everyone around us is affected by our intentional acts as well. When we pass away, we take rebirth once again elsewhere according to the quality of our karma: wholesome actions bring about a favorable rebirth, while unwholesome actions lead to an unfavorable one. And so the wearisome cycle continues. Rebirth as a human being is extraordinarily rare. It is also extraordinarily precious, as its unique balance of pleasure and pain facilitates the development of virtue and wisdom to the degree necessary to set one free from the entire cycle of rebirths. Sakyamuni Buddha said: At the bottom of a vast ocean, there is a blind turtle. Once every 100 years, this blind turtle pokes its head out of the water. Floating on the surface of the ocean is a log. In the middle of this log is a hole, just the size of the turtle's head. The log drifts with the wind in all directions. Being born as a human is still more difficult than for that turtle to poke its head through the hole in the log. We are living in a free will planet and we can choose to live as a normal life with no deeply involved in spiritual practice. However, once we practice and go little deep inside the spirituality, then other High Spiritual Beings will step in to help lead us on our spiritual journey. Currently, we are growing fig trees and other fruit trees, we are connected with the nature in our past and present. Those of us who have a lot more knowledge and love in growing fig trees and fruit trees, they already connected with nature in their past lives, and they could be farmers or their lives were close to trees. Presently, I am still learning lessions from my spirituality. I will try to learn how get fig cultivar names again and again. Thank you for your understanding.
Best,
Tam
