Mahayana Buddhism accepted the cosmology as above. But they believe there are pure land worlds where buddhas and bodhisattvas teach sentient beings in human forms. A cosmology with some difference is further explained in the Worlds, chapter 5 of Avatamsaka Sutra.

Famous quotes containing the word views:
“Parents must begin to discover their children as individuals of developing tastes and views and so help them be, and see, themselves as thinking, feeling people. It is far too easy for a middle-years child to absorb an over-simplified picture of himself as a sloppy, unreliable, careless, irresponsible, lazy creature and not much more—an attitude toward himself he will carry far beyond these years.”
—Dorothy H. Cohen (20th century)
