Lal,

5 Buddhas are associated with the mahakalpa we are in now.

Going down the list of Buddhas antecedent to those 5, the names of the towns and parents and personal attendants etc. of those Buddhas are also Indian-sounding. How is this? How does it come about that previous generations of the solar system produced the same culture(s), not to say the same locations present now? Judging by the physical dimensions and lifetimes of those Buddhas (and therefore of the humanities at various times) the constitution or fabric of those planets must have been very different.

And those Buddhas go back mahakalpa before mahakalpa indefinitely..so the scientific claim that the Sun is a second-generation star is a gross understatement. Is it possible that a number of those Buddhas appeared instead on other planets in the 10000 world system associated with the Sun?

Thank you
