1. There can be only one Buddha in a ‘loka dhātu‘ (a thousand cakkavāla) at any given time: “Bahudhātuka Sutta (MN 115).” This sutta explains many other ‘facts’.
- But there can be Buddhas in other such ‘loka dhātu.‘ Scientists say there are billions of galaxies with billions of cakkavāla in each galaxy! So, there can be numerous Buddhas in other cakkavāla.
2. Yes. In our cakkavāla, a Buddha appears in our specific Solar system. We are so fortunate.
3. I believe our Bodhisatta was born in our Solar system, and met previous Buddhas born here.
