🌞 Buddhist Sermon of the Seven Suns (Suriya Sutta / Apatthaka Vagga): •Cosmic Destruction: In Buddhist scriptures, the "Sermon of the Seven Suns" describes the gradual end and desolation of an aeon (world-cycle). •Appearance of Successive Suns: According to the text, as human morality decays or over vast cosmic intervals, successive suns appear in the sky. Each new sun increases the heat: the first dries up small streams, the second and third dry up mighty rivers like the Ganges, the fourth and fifth boil the great oceans, the sixth causes the earth to smoke, and the seventh sets the entire earth and lower heavens ablaze, incinerating all physical forms. •Moral Undercurrent: Traditional commentaries note that these cataclysms correspond to human inclinations toward destructive roots such as greed, hatred, and delusion.
