In the world of Kung Fu Panda , the is a separate, non-physical dimension where the souls (or "spirits") of past kung fu masters exist after their physical bodies have died. It is not heaven or hell in the traditional Western sense, but more of a transcendent plane of pure chi (life force) and consciousness.

This is a fascinating topic, because Kung Fu Panda blends classic martial arts tropes with deep, often Buddhist and Taoist-inspired spirituality.
