Re: Treasure Hunt: Clue #6

it was believed that the only way to prepare / get ready for these uproars was to be passive.. and "the final result was pessimistically conceived."

is this a clue.. or are we being told to be patient... shit will reveal itself shortly..

?

this paticular uproar.. doesnt sound very up lifting:

"Sirs, after the lapse of a hundred thousand years, the cycle is to be renewed; this world will be destroyed; also the mighty ocean will dry up; and this broad earth, and Sineru, the monarch of the mountains, will be burnt up and destroyed,--up to the Brahma heavens will the destruction of the world extend. Therefore, sirs, cultivate friendliness; cultivate compassion, joy, and indifference; wait on your mothers; wait on your fathers; and honor your elders among your kinsfolk."

This is called the Cyclic-Uproar.

Not sure, but I always thought this hunt would somehow involve Buddhism because of Chi Cheng.

Re: Treasure Hunt: Clue #6

the fact that "this is called the cyclic-uproar" (althought it could be located other places)... is an exact quote..

leads me to believe this has something to do with it

each involves numbers (in form of years)

Cyclic- 100,000 years
Buddha - 1,000 years
Univeral Monarch - 100 years

Damn, you got that first RckNorCal....good job!

we can call it a tie, haha

wondering why they skipped over 10,000..... well here it is:

When of these three Uproars they hear the sound of the Buddha-Uproar, the gods of all ten thousand worlds come together into one place, and having ascertained what particular being is to be The Buddha, they approach him, and beseech him to become one. But it is not till after omens have appeared that they beseech him.

this caught my eye too..

It is three hundred leagues in length, two hundred and fifty in breadth, and nine hundred in circumference. In this country are born The Buddhas, the Private Buddhas, the Chief Disciples, the Eighty Great Disciples, the Universal Monarch, and other eminent ones, magnates of the warrior caste, of the Brahman caste, and the wealthy householders. "And in it is this city called Kapilavatthu," thought he, and concluded that there he ought to be born.


** they say "The Buddhas, the Private Buddhas, the Chief Disciples......"... reminds me of "the pariah the parrot the delusion"

Re: Treasure Hunt: Clue #6

Did you guys see this Book of Three's stuff?

http://threes.com/cms/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=515&Itemid=61

In making up this number the Future Buddha is to be counted as number I, and the four urns of treasure together as number 7.

Re: Treasure Hunt: Clue #6

The Buddhas, who always include in their teachings the Three Characteristics :
birth, old age, and death

more talk about grouping of 3.. so this caught my eye.. take it for what its worth

Re: Treasure Hunt: Clue #6

Could the number have to do with the lines represented in these?
