Reliability Tier3
Reliability tier 3: a continuously community-edited tertiary reference with no formal peer review process, suitable for citable, checkable factual claims but not treated as authoritative on genuinely contested points. NotesWikipedia's article on the thirty-one planes of existence, consulted 2026-08-13. Useful here for Tusita's role as the bodhisattva's penultimate abode and Maitreya's current residence there, the Pure Abodes' reservation for non-returners, and the doctrinal point that Avici, the lowest hell, is temporary rather than eternal since the karma that placed a being there is itself exhausted in time.
