The Tavatimsa gods are celestial beings in Buddhist cosmology, residing in the Tavatimsa heaven, which is the second of the six heavenly realms. This realm is believed to be located on the summit of Mount Meru, a sacred mountain in various Asian traditions. The Tavatimsa gods are known for their long lifespans and enjoy a life of pleasure and happiness, free from the suffering found in the lower realms. These gods are often associated with the teachings of the Buddha and are said to have a significant role in the spiritual development of beings. They are also known for their ability to hear the teachings of the Buddha and can assist in guiding humans toward enlightenment.
