Symboles of The Six Realms in the Buddhism Doctrine

In Japan, the six stone statues in the Buddhism temple can be seen in most cases.
These six statues symbolize the Six Realms in the Buddhism doctrine.
These are the God Realm, The Jealous God Realm, the Human Realm, the Animal Realm, the Hungry Ghost Realm and the Hell Realm. Further, the doctrine says that all lives continue to be born and reborn in the Six Realms that is called the Cycle of Rebirth or reincarnation.
