The three unhappy ways 三塗

   The mire is interpreted by a road, i.e. the three unhappy gati or ways; (a) 火塗 to the fires of hell; (b) 血塗 to the hell of blood, where as animals they devour each other; (c) 刀塗 the asipattra hell of swords, where the leaves and grasses are sharp-edged swords. Cf. 三惡趣.

 

   三塗又稱作三途、三惡趣、三惡道,乃因身口意諸惡業所引生之處。

()火塗,即地獄道,地獄受苦之眾生常在寒冰,或猛火燒煎之處;常為鑊湯爐炭等熱苦所逼,或以彼處火聚甚多,故稱火塗。

()刀塗,即餓鬼道,餓鬼常在飢餓,或刀劍杖逼迫之處;常受刀杖驅偪等之苦,故稱刀塗。

()血塗,即畜生道,畜生常在被殺,或互相吞食之處;受苦之眾生,強者伏弱,互相吞噉,飲血食肉,故稱血塗。
