The
Blessed Buddha once said:
There will come a time, Bhikkhus, when all the mighty oceans will evaporate,
dry up, vanish, and exist no more. But there will be no end of Suffering for
beings who, blinded by Ignorance and obsessed by Craving, are hurrying
and hastening through this samsaric round of endless rebirths...So
is it!
One day this mighty planet earth will explode in a gigantic burst of fire,
be completely destroyed, and exist no more. But there will be no end of
Misery for beings who, obstructed by Ignorance and addicted by Craving,
are hurrying, even running and hastening from birth to repeated death in
this round of rebirths... This I have now explained to you!

the beings whirl around like flies in a bottle!
