The Buddhist view of the infinite nature of the universe

The location of the infinite universe

After becoming a Buddha, the Buddha Gotama, while dwelling in the peaceful shade of the golden house of Ratanagara (the fourth Sattaha), contemplated the Abhidhamma. While contemplating the Abhidhamma, the six rays of light emanated from him: Nila, Pitha, Lohita, Odatha, Manjittha, and Pabhasara.

Below the earth, 240,000 Yuzana (240,000) of earth is like a gold mine. Breaking through the earth, it reaches 480,000 Yuzana (480,000) of water. Breaking through that water, it reaches 960,000 Yuzana (960,000) of air. Breaking through that air, it reaches the sky again. (This does not include the word universe.)

As the rays of the divine light rose upward, they ascended from the realm of the fourth great king to the realm of the celestial beings,

(So far, the word universe has not been mentioned)

Left, right, front, back, and in all directions, the rays of the infinite universe run in the eight directions.

The Infinite Universe of Gautama Buddha and the Infinite Universe Beyond Science 15

(This word contains the infinite universe.)

There is no universe above, below, or in the space of this world. The questions are answered as to whether the infinite universe exists only in the eight-sided surface surrounding the earth, or whether it exists simultaneously in all eight-sided surfaces.

“There is no other universe below this world. The universe is infinite only on the eight-sided surface.”

More than 2,500 years ago, Gautama Buddha, who appeared in India, preached that the universe is infinite (without beginning) within this great universe through his omniscience. Today, modern astronomers have also demonstrated through modern scientific instruments that there are infinite universes in the vastness of space. It is amazing that all of them are the same. Scientists have become interested in Gautama Buddha’s Abhidhamma.

Gautama Buddha preached that the infinite universe exists in the infinite universe, and that it exists in infinite quantity, beginningless, and without end.

Similarly, today’s astronomers cannot accurately measure the infinite size of the universe, so they have to describe the mathematical distance as an incalculable number, Infinity.

Scientists only measure the speed of light (optical speed).

The beginning and end of this infinite universe, the beginning and end (Anta + Adi)

If we could measure the beginning, scientists would know that the universe exists.

The exact distance between the stars is expressed in precise numbers.

Gautama Buddha said that there is no beginning, no end, no limit, and no measure. (Nathiyastha antavinasam taananam) Scientists also cannot express the indefinite estimate of the beginning, so they have only expressed it as infinite, without beginning or end, and endless.

During the time of Gautama Buddha, a person appeared who searched for the origin and end of this infinite universe.

A transcendentalist, a hermit named Rohitassa, with the power of transcendental meditation that he had acquired, wandered through the boundless space of space, searching for the beginning and end of the universe.

In the vast space of time, the ascetic Rohitassa passed away, according to the concept of impermanence of form, mind, and spirit. However, he left the life of an ascetic and entered the life of a deva. Even in the life of a deva, he wanted to find the end of the universe, so he decided to continue searching and kept searching.

While searching, he met a king named Sakra (Sakraraja) while traveling in the space of time. He asked him about the beginning and end of the universe.

King Sakra said that he also did not know the beginning and end of the universe, and he directed him to go and ask the great Brahma, who was higher and more intelligent than him.

The ascetic Rohitassa went to the great Brahma and asked him about the beginning and end of the universe, which he wanted to know. Maha Brahma also said that he did not know the beginning and end of the universe, and that the only person who could know the beginning and end of this was the Buddha who knew everything in this world, and he continued to guide him to go and ask that Buddha.

17 The Infinite Universe of the Buddha Gāta and the Infinite Universe Beyond Science

The son of Rohitassa arrived at the Jetavana monastery in Savatthi and asked him about the beginning and end of the universe that he wanted to know.

Then the Buddha Gautama said..

“My dear son Rohitassa… what special benefit will you get from knowing the problem of the beginning and end of this universe, the infinite problem? Work only for your immediate benefit.”

According to the Sutta of the Son of God, which seeks the origin and end of the universe, it is known that a human being traveled into the infinite universe without any scientific equipment or a spaceship more than 2,550 years ago.

Moreover, according to this Sutta, there is a saying that there are infinite universes, such as the solar system, where the planets and stars revolve around the sun, and other innumerable universes.
