The End of the Universe: Buddhism’s Insight on Cosmic Cycles

The End of the Universe: Buddhism’s Insight on Cosmic Cycles
"All conditioned things are subject to decay. Strive with diligence!" - The Buddha's last words, Mahaparinibbana Sutta.
This five-part series explores this core Buddhist principle - impermanence (anicca) - as it applies to the universe itself. We'll journey through vast cosmic cycles (Formation, Duration, Destruction, Nothingness) and immense timescales (kalpas), connecting ancient wisdom with modern cosmology. This series offers a framework for understanding our place in the ever-changing universe, emphasizing presence, interconnectedness, and the potential for awakening.
