Tushita or Tusita (Sanskrit: Tuṣita) (meaning "contented" or "joyous") is the fourth of the six deva or heavenly realms of Kamadhatu in Buddhist tradition. It is located between the "Yāmā deva" realm and the "Nirmanarati deva" realm in Buddhist cosmology. Like the other heavens (deva realms), Tusita is said to be reachable through sādhanā, or advanced meditative attainments. It is the heaven where the Bodhisattva Svetaketu (Pali: Setaketu "White Banner") resided before being reborn on Earth as Gautama Buddha, the historical Buddha; it is the place where bodhisattvas, or future Buddhas reside before their rebirth as a Buddha.
