The disaster of fire destroys up to the First Dhyāna. (In the kalpa of destruction there are the three great disasters of fire, water, and wind. Now in the Fortunate Kalpa, only one cycle of the disaster of fire is discussed. The two disasters of water and wind are not within the Fortunate Kalpa; their three characteristics will be explained separately later.) Beginning from the hells and ending at the Brahmā heavens, the world of sentient beings undergoes nineteen increases and decreases, being gradually destroyed completely. Only the receptacle world remains vast and empty, until all sentient beings of the trichiliocosm are completely gone. Only in the final kalpa of increase and decrease is the receptacle world destroyed (it is named world because it is like a receptacle). Seven suns emerge from the bottom of the ocean, the great oceans completely dry up, Mount Sumeru crumbles, and the wind blows the fierce flames upward to burn the Brahmā heavens, reducing everything to ash and cinder, so that even the entire trichiliocosm is burnt away at once. This is the destruction of both the environment and the beings within it, and it is called the kalpa of destruction (Nyāyānusāra). > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 30.48](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035.30.48) - [Next: 30.50](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035.30.50) - [Up: 30](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035.30) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035~en-mt.30.49) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035.30.49](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2035.30.49) · Pramāṇa
