in Wikipedia, die vrye ensiklopedie
Een van die oudste bekende voorstellings van die Boeddha (1ste tot 2de eeu, Tokio Nasionale Museum).
Boeddhistiese mans by die Soele-pagoda in Yangon, Mianmar, bring hulde aan die 29 Boeddhas wat in hoofstuk 27 van die Boeddhavamsa beskryf word.

In die Boeddhavamsa, ’n deel van die Pali-kanon, word die lewe van Gautama Boeddha en die vorige 27 Boeddhas beskryf.[1]

Die Sewe Boeddhas van die Antieke Tyd

[wysig | wysig bron]

Volgens Boeddhistiese tradisie het elke kalpa (of eon) 1 000 Boeddhas.[2] Die vorige kalpa was die vyuhakalpa (Glorieryke Eon), en die huidige kalpa is die bhadrakalpa (Gunstige Eon).[3] Die "Sewe Boeddhas van die Antieke Tyd" (Saptatathagata) is sewe Boeddhas wat die vyuhakalpa en bhadrakalpa oorbrug:[4]

  1. Vipassi (die 998ste Boeddha van die vyuhakalpa)
  2. Sikhi (die 999ste Boeddha van die vyuhakalpa)
  3. Vessabhu (die 1 000ste Boeddha van die vyuhakalpa)
  4. Kakusandha (die 1ste Boeddha van die bhadrakalpa)
  5. Konagamana (die 2de Boeddha van die bhadrakalpa)
  6. Kassapa (die 3de Boeddha van die bhadrakalpa)
  7. Gautama (die 4de Boeddha van die bhadrakalpa)

Op dié sewe sal Maitreya, die 5de en toekomstige Boeddha van die bhadrakalpa, volg.
