The Long Life Sutra

[THACS]

The Long Life Sutra, Sutra of the Great Vehicle called "Unfathomable Exalted Life and Transcendental Wisdom."

 

Contains the basic makeup of the Universe.

 

Contains the size, shape and approx number of Sentient planets in the Milky Way Galaxy. The approx age of the Solar System. 

 

The age of the Earth, the extinction events prior to 1 A.D., the approx time when single cell organisms(life) began, the natural life cycle (de evolution) of the earth, the start of the current environmental climate change.

 

The Sutra even though it's about 2000 yrs old, it had to be written at least 5,000,000,000 years ago, since it is written in an observational view point.

 

It links Buddhism to Hinduism.

Think about why the Dalai Lama was in Japan, giving teachings of the Bodhisattva way and Manjushri Permission.  Then wonder how long One has walked among you. (46 years)
