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?
The world only exists in our minds. The mind can only know what it knows. The earthworm lives in a different world. The Ukrainians are in a world totally different from ours. In fact everyone of us live in the world of our/others making that is only known by our minds or consciousness.
When the world ceases, it ceases only for you. All else is mere conjecture.
"Conjecture about [the origin, etc., of] the world is an unconjecturable that is not to be conjectured about, that would bring madness & vexation to anyone who conjectured about it.
"These are the four unconjecturables that are not to be conjectured about, that would bring madness & vexation to anyone who conjectured about them."

What about the tigers and lions and pumas then? In order to eat their natural diet there has to be a certain amount of suffering on the part of everyone else…
