九有 [jiu you]—Nine Abodes — [A numerical term] Also called Nine Dwellings (九居 [jiu ju]). Within the Three Realms (三界 [san jie]), there are nine places where sentient beings (有情 [you qing]) are happy to dwell (樂住 [le zhu]). They are named the Nine Abodes of Sentient Beings (情居 [qing ju]), or also the Nine Abodes of Living Beings (九眾生居 [jiu zhong sheng ju]). Briefly referred to as Nine Abodes or Nine Dwellings (九居 [jiu ju]), they are: 1. Humans and the Six Heavens (六天 [liu tian]) in the Desire Realm (欲界 [yu jie]). 2. The First Dhyāna Heaven (初禪天 [chu chan tian]). 3. The Second Dhyāna Heaven (二禪天 [er chan tian]). 4. The Third Dhyāna Heaven (三禪天 [san chan tian]). 5. The Heaven of Non-thought (無想天 [wu xiang tian]) within the Fourth Dhyāna Heaven (四禪天 [si chan tian]). 6. The Realm of Infinite Space (空處 [kong chu]). 7. The Realm of Infinite Consciousness (識處 [shi chu]). 8. The Realm of Nothingness (無所有處 [wu suo you chu]). 9. The Realm of Neither Perception Nor Non-perception (非想非非想處 [fei xiang fei fei xiang chu]) (excluding the Heaven of Non-thought, these are called the Seven Abodes of Consciousness (七識住 [qi shi zhu])). The Abhidharmakośa-śāstra (俱舍論 [ju she lun]), Chapter 8, states: "The preceding seven abodes of consciousness and the first, which includes sentient beings without thought, are called the nine. Sentient beings joyfully reside (欣樂住 [xin le zhu]) only in these nine, hence they are established as the abodes of sentient beings; all other places are not, because beings are not happy to reside there." The Chapter on the Meaning of Mahayana (大乘義章 [da cheng yi zhang]), end of Chapter 8, states: "These nine places, where living beings are happy to reside, are called the abodes of living beings." The Ekottarāgama Sūtra (增一阿含經 [zeng yi a han jing]) contains a chapter on the Nine Abodes of Living Beings (九眾生居品 [jiu zhong sheng ju pin]). A Record of Buddhist Practices Sent Home from the Southern Sea (寄歸傳 [ji gui chuan]), Chapter 1, states: "Having newly attained perfect enlightenment (正覺 [zheng jue]) at the Dragon River, the Nine Abodes gave rise to the hope of transcending the mundane world (出塵之望 [chu chen zhi wang])."
九有—【名數】又云九居。三界中有情樂住之地處有九所。名曰九有情居，又云九眾生居。略云九有，又云九居：一欲界之人與六天，二初禪天，三二禪天，四三禪天，五四禪天中之無想天，六空處，七識處，八無所有處，九非想非非想處（此中除無想非想名七識住）。俱舍論八曰：「前七識住及第一有無想有情，是名為九。諸有情類唯於此九欣樂住故，立有情居，餘處皆非，不樂住故。」大乘義章八末曰：「此之九處，眾生樂住名眾生居。」增一阿含經有九眾生居品。寄歸傳一曰：「創成正覺龍河，九有興出塵之望。」
