∙ 11y agoThe Deva Realms are higher worlds. Devas live in those world. They live a happier life than humans. There are seven realms, each with its own kind of Devas. The higher you go up the realms, the more happy the Devas are. The deva realm is the realm of bliss. Unfortunately for the devas, things are very comfortable and they neglect to work towards enlightenment. This causes them to use up their good karma and they will always fall towards a lower rebirth.

What are the names of the major prophets according to Hinduism Buddhism and Shintoism?
Buddhism doesn't use the term "prophet" as this implies a messenger sent by a deity. Although there are many deities (devas) mentioned in Buddhism, they are impermanent and not of great importance. According to the Tipitika (the Buddhist canon), the founder of Buddhism, the Buddha, arrived with advance knowledge by the Gods of the 33 and attained enlightenment.

Does Buddhism believe in angels?
Sort of. But strictly speaking, no. In theistic religions, angels could be thought of as non-material servants in God's hierarchy. Since Buddhism is non-theistic, it does not have a hierarchy of beings reporting to God.There are devas, non-material celestial beings whose existence is heavenly. Deva is often translated as god, but could also be translated as angel, though neither translation is perfect. Devas are not regarded as servants in God's hierarchy, so to call them angels would not be fully correct, but they are the closest thing to angels in Buddhism.

Are Buddhists poltheistic?
Difficult question. Strictly speaking, the answer is yes. In Hinduism, gods were called devas. In Buddhism, these devas appear in the Tipitika, but they are not very important and they are not immortal.Some might think that this is similar to Christians who do not consider themselves polytheists even though they worship a three part god, have angels (of several types), a devil, as well as saints who have supernatural powers, but this is debatable.
