Tushita
(Sk.). A class of gods of great purity in the Hindu Pantheon. In exoteric or popular Northern Buddhism, it is a Deva-loka, a celestial region on the material plane, where all the Bodhisattvas are reborn, before they descend on this earth as future Buddhas. (TG)
Let us end with a legend: Let us look at the stars. We were told that the vessel of Wisdom was poured from out of Tushita, and the drops of the miraculous draught became aglow in space. But the Teacher said, “Thus glow the tips of the arrows of thought, because thought pierces the radiant substance and creates worlds.” (AY, 122)
