Tras ponderarlo durante incontables kalpas22Según la cosmología budista, los mundos (cakravala) están sometidos a un proceso de formación y de disolución. El periodo que transcurre entre el inicio de un mundo y la formación del mundo siguiente se denomina mahakalpa (gran ciclo); éste se compone de cuatro periodos inconmensurables (asankhyeya-kalpa) que corresponden a las cuatro fases de la formación, la permanencia, la disolución del mundo y el periodo intermedio de caos que precede a la formación de un nuevo mundo. Cada asankhyeya-kalpa contiene veinte antara-kalpa. El final de cada antara-kalpa se caracteriza por siete días de guerra, siete meses de epidemia y siete años de hambre.,

los poderosos sabios23El tibetano frecuentemente usa la expresión thub pa o thub dbang (capaz, poderoso) para traducir el término sánscrito muni (sabio, asceta). La traducción “poderosos sabios” como un sinónimo de “budas” es una amalgama de estas dos ideas. vieron sus beneficios. Por medio de ella innumerables seres
