Celestial Systems
විශ්ව පද්දතින්
I could figure out how many world systems and how many types of alien beings.
It varied going upto 31 and I added up to 36 ny adding varios local and Indian gods including Vishnu and Krishna.
I wanted to list them in my book Buddhist Celestials. It is available at Amazon books and I openly declared it contents are tsken from variois public sources and could not verify from book sources.
Now I get a figure 34.
This according to the belief that 34 Devas visited Earth to receive the 34 teeth at the end of Parinibbhana.
If one deva is loking after Temple of the Tooth, I get a figure 33.
Since there are at least 4 Devas without body form it boils down to 30 Deva Lokas of Celestial Places in total.
My undederstanding is these 4 Devas do not need a place to live or like quantum forms of enorminty and subtle.
One is free to visit this blog site for their names which I cannot remember by heart.
It is strange that Buddha having 34 teeth corresponding to the World Systems.
