While in H?nay?na Buddhism the Buddha appears and disappears in the universe, in Mah?y?na thought the Buddha is the universe itself, eternal existence. This idea was probably influenced by the notion of Brahm?, Brahmanism's fundamental principle of the universe, and by Hinduism's concept of the gods Vi??u and ?iva.

In modern times, the idea of existential suffering has further weakened. Human life is no longer regarded as a realm of suffering but instead as a setting for the actualization of human happiness.

Buddhist cosmology according to the H?nay?na tradition centers on (1) the realm of Mount Sumeru, (2) dharmas (the Buddha's teachings), and (3) the notion that the Buddha (??kyamuni) is a historical person. In Mah?y?na Buddhism, (1) the various "buddha-realms" are more prominent than Mount Sumeru, (2) the Buddha (or buddhas) takes precedence over dharmas, and (3) the Buddha is a superhuman (cosmological) existence.

Buddhism divides living beings into five types: gods ( deva ), human beings ( manusya ), animals ( tiryañc ), spirits of the dead ( pert ), and inhabitants of the hells ( naraka ). These states of existence, among which living beings transmigrate (are reborn) depending on their karma, are called the five or six paths (see figure 14).

The idea of karma and transmigration are the foundation of Buddhist cosmology, whose purpose is to illuminate their nature and relationship to human existence. Unlike the modern scientific view of the cosmos, Buddhist cosmology is meaningless without the human element.

Love can only consist in failure...on the fallacious assumption that it is a relationship. But it is not. It is a production of truth.

There is always only one question in the ethics of truth: how will I, as some-one, continue to exceed my own being?

We pose only those questions whose answers are the pre-given conditions of the questions themselves.

A truth is not something that is constructed in a garden of roses.
