in the Lotus Sutra it says
"I do not see the Triple world in the same way as[ the living beings] of the triple world do . I see this all clearly and infallibly ".
what is the Triple world and why is it referred to by Buddha as the triple world..I'm pretty sure He is referring to the world in which we live in....but why triple...

Realms of Desire (kamaloka), Form (rupaloka), and Formlessness (arupaloka).
Desire is the five realms of hell, preta, asura, human and up through the desire heavens.
The Form realms are the form heavens.
The Formless realms are the four formless heavens.

There is no suffering to be severed. Ignorance and klesas are indivisible from bodhi. There is no cause of suffering to be abandoned. Since extremes and the false are the Middle and genuine, there is no path to be practiced. Samsara is nirvana. No severance achieved. No suffering nor its cause. No path, no end. There is no transcendent realm; there is only the one true aspect. There is nothing separate from the true aspect.
