old3bob Posted April 19 We've heard a thousand things about enlightenment and related teachings but we haven't or seldom hear about the end of the cosmic cycle and what happens with all beings then? (although the historic Buddha mentioned it in a way or in passing to Ananda) So if all beings return to the great Tao, ready or not, at the end of the cosmic cycle then all beings will be enlightened per that returning ... (before it begins again) What does your teachings or system say about this? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
