Buddhist cosmology

Buddhist cosmology is the description of the shape and evolution of the Universe according to the Buddhist scriptures and commentaries.It consists of temporal and spatial cosmology, the temporal cosmology being the division of the existence of a 'world' into four discrete moments (the creation, duration, dissolution, and state of being dissolved, this does not seem to be a canonical division however). The spatial cosmology consists of a vertical cosmology, the various planes of beings, their bodies, characteristics, food, lifespan, beauty etc. And a horizontal cosmology, the distribution of these world-systems into an ""apparently"" infinite sheet of universes. The existence of world-periods (moments, kalpas), is well attested to by the Buddha.It should be noted that the historical Buddha (Gautama Buddha) made references to the existence of aeons (which he describes the length of by metaphor), and simultaneously intimates his knowledge of past events, such as the dawn of human beings in their coarse and gender-split forms, the existence of there being more than one sun at certain points in time, and his ability to convey his voice vast distances, as well as the ability of his disciples (who if they fare accordingly) to be reborn in any one of these planes (should they so choose)—the Buddha does not seem to place a premium on figuring out cosmology.He also refused to answer questions regarding either the infinitude or eternity of the world.
