So, what is the saha world?

The only definition I can find is as follows:

Saha World
World of Endurance. Refers to this world of ours, filled with suffering and afflictions, yet gladly endured by its inhabitants.

I read this definition somewhere.
Saha World has a mixture of happiness and sufferings.
Wheras realms like hell, ghosts are mainly sufferings.

Oh! Maybe it wasn't as simple as I thought.

What language is "Saha" in?

Maybe related to "samsara"?

thank you all!

Dance, corresponding from deep Saha.

Dance.

What I could find out is as folows:
Saha is a Sanskrit term referring to this realm in which we find ourselves, which is due to causes and conditions...relative and conceptual, but when seen with the third eye, empty of self nature or "real."   The ideal birth place in which to practice and realize Buddhadharma. As the other 5 realms...Devaloka, jealous gods, animal, hungry ghost and hell beings...not at all as well suited for gaining enlightenment, engendering bodhicitta.

?? I always thought that saha world=samsara world, which is the world we have come to be reborn because of our karma (causal conditions). Correct me if i am wrong

Dance,
    Perhaps your question isnt "very simple" after all... lol since all is mindmade, perhaps its more suiting to say the current mind we have is called Samsara mind or Saha mind... instead of world... lol
