(Sanskrit) or Tusita (PÄli) is one of the six deva-worlds of the KÄmadhÄtu, located between the YÄma heaven and the NirmÄṇarati heaven. Like the other heavens, Tuá¹£ita is said to be reachable through meditation. It is the heaven where the Bodhisattva Åšvetaketu (PÄli: Setaketu, "White Banner") resided before being reborn on Earth as Gautama, the historical Buddha; it is, likewise, the heaven where the Bodhisattva NÄtha ("Protector") currently resides, who will later be born as the next Buddha, Maitreya.
