化生【英】

Transformed beings (Birth by Transformation)

定义

佛教认为世间所有生灵都可以归到湿生、卵生、胎生、化生。化生即变化而生，如诸天，地狱，及劫初的人类都是化生的。

Buddhism believes that all the creatures in the world can be classified into those bred by water, oviparity, viviparity, and as transformed beings (born out of nothing). Birth by transformation is one of the ways of coming into beings. Transformed beings can be born into heaven realms, into hell realms, and into the human realm.
