As for prophecy, don't Buddhists say they can't make predictions? Then why do they say Maitreya will be born in five billion years?

1, Maitreya Buddha will not become a Buddha after 5 billion years, but after 600 million years at most. 5 billion years is a calculation error, and the decimal point is misplaced.

This nearly 600 million years is calculated according to the time difference between heaven and earth and the life span of the gods, but Maitreya does not mean that it was born after the birth of Sakyamuni Buddha, nor does it have to be calculated according to the life span of heaven and man. Maitreya is the fifth (or sixth) among the sages who robbed thousands of buddhas. ), it is impossible to wait 600 million years.

2. Every Buddha has his own time to preach Dharma, which can be divided into three periods, namely, the period of orthodox Dharma, the period of orthodox Dharma and the period of final Dharma. The time is different, as if the Buddha had set it himself.

When the Buddha is alive, it is not convenient to say what he can say. Naturally, it is said that there is a Buddha tube. After the Buddha's nirvana, in order to reduce the devil's interference and obstacles to practice, it is naturally not allowed to make any predictions. .

Just like today's doomsday theory, if someone calls himself a Buddhist and spreads doomsday theory, you can consider it yourself. . Hmm. How interesting
