Re: What happens to the world when everybody attains Buddhahood?
@SattvaPaul said:
From Mahayana perspective? If the world/samsara is the product of beings' karma, and all beings have attained Buddhahood, does that mean that the world ceases to exist? And everybody dwells in supreme bliss/pure land?
I could see it all starting again but not repeating exactly. Shambhala comes to mind until impermanence shows how nirvana can become samsara when mindfulness practice wanes.
Re: What happens to the world when everybody attains Buddhahood?
Then it would be a Golden Land or a Jeweled Land.
Yet, if one buddha accidentally stepped on another buddha's foot, it would still hurt.
The farmers would still farm, the merchants still sell, the birds would still migrate...
Peace to all

Re: How Many Holes Does A Drinking Straw Have?
How many holes does a garden hose have? Or, on the atomic level, how many holes? Matter is nearly all holes. The very concept of a hole breaks down, leaving the entire issue in confusion.

Perhaps the degree to which we can manifest selflessness any time
is the same degree that the "How's" of teaching and service can equally manifest.

Re: How to Teach?
And when we should, and shouldn't. That perception, is probably a more useful skill, than the teaching itself.
