Twentieth small kalpa (decreasing and increasing). In the final increasing kalpa, the one-thousandth buddha, Rucika, by the power of his original vow, will appear in the increasing kalpa, appearing at dawn and entering extinction at dusk. At that time, many people will weary of the world and cultivate the various concentrations; the abiding kalpa having reached its limit, they will be very easy to convert and liberate. As long as their disposition is that of a śramaṇa, even if they have defiled the conduct of a śramaṇa, yet resemble a śramaṇa in appearance and wear a kāṣāya, at the place of Maitreya Buddha they will all obtain entry into nirvāṇa without any being left behind or missed (The Abhidharmakośa-bhāṣya and the Great Compassion Scripture).
