Jains believe in cycling through birth and rebirth. However their take on things is a little different from most religions that believe this. Not only can you be reincarnated into the earthly realm, but also into their layers of heaven and hells. You are not permanently stuck in hell, once you die there, you may be reincarnated back into the earthly realm. Where you go depends on your karma. Moksha (the end of the cycling through birth and rebirth) comes when one finds enlightenment, like the tirthankaras. In addition, you cannot attain Moksha until you have been a man in at least one of your lives. The layers of heaven and hell consist of... # The supreme abode: This is located at the top of the universe and is where Siddha, the liberated souls, live. # The upper world: 30 heavens where celestial beings live. # Middle world: the earth and the rest of the universe. # Nether world: 7 hells with various levels of misery and punishments # The Nigoda, or base: where the lowest forms of life reside # Universe space: layers of clouds which surround the upper world # Space beyond: an infinite volume without soul, matter, time, medium of motion or medium
