Lord Buddha's Universe Discovering

2600 years ago Lord Buddha elaborated comprehensively about living beings based on the creation and the inherent location place. As per that, one solar system has 31 worlds, namely; 4 hells(inferno, gremlin in ocean, gremlin in earth and animals world), one human world, 6 heavens, 20 Brahmin worlds(15 morphological, 1 unperceptional, 4 formless  ). People who live in Brahmin worlds are meditators who achieved high level of control over minds like saints who were Himalaya in India. They have trillions of life time in human years. Even prior to the period of Lord Buddha, there were people who were trying to discover and understand the truth of life. They also belonged to different levels of the society – some are powerful rulers and some are normal people. They thought the life is on suffering and real liberation should be achieved. But all such people were halted in those Brahmin worlds as they could not discover the real truth, but deviate through an expansion of mind ability. This is due to ignorance and the required real guidance was not in place. Actually we haven't a soul but we assume about self because of these dependent arising and cessation. And there’s no difference of male or female. Gods are in heavens, basically same as our world, but enjoy more luxurious and prosperous lives than us. They inherit such due to the previous merits they gathered. They have millions of years of life time compared to human years. 

Lord Buddha preached that the universe have billions of solar systems and solar systems arise and cease with the time – nothing is constant. There is no creator or ruler. Lord Buddha elaborated these systems in many of his sermons. If you are interested in this arising of worlds you can read 'aggannapala sutta’, ‘brahmajala sutta,’ and ‘sapta surioddamana sutta' from ‘Thipitaka’ which all the Buddhist sermons are written and you can find in ‘google’ .All beings born, decay and cease and again born in one of worlds according to the amount of merits and tribulations. This is the circle of the life which does not have an end in this regular way. Most intelligent approach is to stop the birth. Because, according to Lord Buddha living beings are mostly dropped to hells and very often born in human world or above. 

Lord Buddha means the person who discover the path to liberation. To achieve this, he added merits and gradually formulate through billions of lives for a huge period of time. Since the beginning of these worlds, many Buddha’s born and enlighten from time to time. Sagacious scholars who live in that period (Human, gods and morphological Brahmins) understand the sermons and achieve enlightenment. There were a lot of religious beliefs prior to the establishment of Buddhism, which did not illustrate the real pathway to enlightenment. In ‘brahmajala sutta’ in ‘Thipitaka’ details how Lord Buddha negated 62 religious ideologies with clarifications about the harmful influences. Here I mention one of those believes, with the reason for the rejection. There is view that once this world/solar system was formed, living beings arrived from another solar system and humans come from 6th morphological Brahmin world. People who live in the Brahmin world are meditators and their food is happiness. They have delicate and sensitive bodies. Once the first person arrived and lived alone for a long time he had the thought of loneliness and some more people arrived. Then the first one was on impression that other people came by his thought, hence he is the creator of them. Others accepted the same and considered the first person as their god/great Brahmin. Some sagacious scholars who improve their concentration on meditations and they could look their past lives. They experienced the scene of arising of new world only and for some people it was blank. Lord Buddha described the reason for that and it is that life was formless in Brahmin world. And that sutta describe that first times earth like a tasted soup. Those Brahmins starts to have and enjoy it, then their sensitive bodies become hard like ours. Gradually those ceases, plants generated. It confirms the latest scientific theory of the forming the world.
