Buddhism End Of World Beliefs

Buddhists believe in a cycle of creation and
destruction and so though the earth will end it will
be reborn in again in a golden age. Everything is
impermanent. Below is a description of the end of the
world according to the Buddha.

- The earth will suffer from a severe drought due to
lack of rains. All vegetation and life forms will
disappear and vanish from the planet.

- A second sun will appear in the horizon, resulting in
the evaporation of many streams and ponds.

- A third sun will appear resulting in the evaporation
of many great rivers like the Ganges.

- After a long lapse of time, a fourth sun will appear
in the sky resulting in the evaporation of great
lakes.

- After another long lapse of time, a fifth sun will
appear and the oceans will dry up slowly till they
will become a finger deep.

- After another long lapse of time, a sixth sun will
appear. The earth crust and core will heat up to
intense temperatures resulting in many volcanic
explosions, scorched earth and smoke filled skies.

- After another vast interval, a seventh sun will
appear. The earth will become a fiery ball of flame
and expand. Its flames will spread far and wide.

Finally it will explode and disappear altogether.

The only way to save your self from this fate is to
follow the eightfold path.
