[[Image:Mount Meru Continents.jpg|frame|Mount Meru surrounded by the continents and subcontinents, with the gods of the Desire and Form Realms above]]'''Form realm''' (Skt. ''rūpadhātu''; Tib. [[གཟུགས་ཁམས་]], [[Wyl.]] ''gzugs khams'') — the second of the [[three realms]], only 'populated' by [[gods]] and divided into seventeen heavens. The cause for being reborn in one of these heavens is the favourable [[karma]] accumulated through the practice of one of the [[four dhyanas]], each 'causal meditative [[dhyana]]' acting as a cause of rebirth in one of the corresponding 'resultant dhyana levels'. 


==Seventeen Heavens of the Form Realm (Skt. ''rupadhatuvasiñjati''; Tib. [[གཟུགས་ཁམས་གནས་རི་བཅུ་བདུན་]], Wyl. ''gzugs khams gnas ri bcu bdun'')==

===Five Pure Heavens (Tib. [[གཙང་གནས་ལྔ་]], ''gtsang gnas lnga'')===

#Unexcelled (Skt. [[Akanishtha]], Tib. [[འོག་མིན་]], Wyl. ''‘og min'')
#Extreme Insight/Great Vision (Skt. ''Sudarśa''; Tib. [[ཤིན་ཏུ་མཐོང་]], ''shin tu mthong'')
#Perfect Appearance/The Marvellous (Skt. ''Sudṛśa''; Tib. [[གྱ་ནོམ་སྣང་བ་]], ''gya nom snang ba'')
#The Painless/Without Distress (Skt. ''Atapa''; Tib. [[མི་གདུང་པ་]], ''mi gdung pa'')
#The Slightest/Not So Great (Skt. ''Abṛha''; Tib. [[མི་ཆེ་བ་]], ''mi che ba'')
