QUOTE(soul2soul @ Aug 26 2011, 10:22 AM) It is mentioned in the Sutta. thanks for the answer...Mini cycles and major cycles. Mini cycles: Time for human lifespan to decrease from indefinite years (some say 100,000 ) to 10 years and back to 100,000 years. Major cycles: Entire universe comes to dissolution at the end of the Aeon (Mahakappa). If we talk about mini-cycles, some say about 16 or 64 mini cycles will pass before the coming of the destructive phase of the universe cycle. We are still very far from it. The Buddha did not say exactly how long one Mahakappa (aeon) is, but he gave a simile and it is indeed a very long time. Some say it's few quadrillion of years. another thing, what is the real buddhist teaching: - when you become a buddha (enlightened), you will become 1 with the universe (nothing, gone, finish) as you will not be in the karmic cycle anymoar. or - when you become a buddha, you will be like a deva(Gods), only in the highest tier. I heard 2 different teachings... but in the buddhist teaching considering how life cycles and everything is attached to karma, I guess the first statement is more correct? as to become a Buddha is to lose all the connections with the world... |

I once heard that it is not a sin in buddhist to have sex before marriage as long as the feeling of "love" is genuine... but to have a baby, you must do your responsibilities... inb4 abortion...
So, Buddhism follows time, generation, and keep on adapting? I is not so sure, as I am not a hardcore religious guy... |
