Learn Buddhism: Buddhist Cosmology

Buddhism has a rich and vast cosmology that can sometimes be overlooked or disregarded by Westerners. However, this cosmology is central to the half-billion Buddhists around the world and shapes the desire and effort they have in practicing Buddhism. Learn about the six realms of rebirth, units of time (kalpas), and pure lands in this new episode.

It’s amazing how these teachings come across in different ways. It’s very much like learning metaphysics. I love the analogy of the prayer beads and the string that connects to beats. I also really like the concept of the equivalent of ““ heaven, and hell, not being forever, but just being another realm of impermeant existence. Thank you for the teachings.

This was fantastic! I've been wanting to understand this for ages and your talk hit the nail on the head.. Thanks.

On a slight tangent it would be great if you could share your knowledge on the link between Buddhism and Reiki. Their are mantras in Reiki of dainichi nyorai and sey heiki coming from amitbha
The explanations Western Reiki teachers give me does not satisfy me. They say there is no link to Buddhism but then why are their mantras of such exact Buddhist references? I suspect it might be westerner teachers teaching what is convenient to us and not going deeper as we could do.

Thank You Alan . Yours lessons always teach me something new .
Namaste 🙏💗
