O monks and wise men, just as a goldsmith would test his gold by burning, cutting and rubbing it, so must you examine my words and accept them, not merely out of reverence for me.

Buddhism is about experiences and practices, not theory. I understand that through meditation, one can see for oneself there are 6 realms (heaven, humans, demi-god, ghosts, hell & animals) though that's not the purpose of meditation.
