[edit] Additional Views edit

I removed the following sentence:"Such interpretations are supported by the fact that there is no apparent reason why the Buddha would describe the creation of the world to Vasettha yet remain pointedly silent on the same question when it was directed to him at another time."

Cf.: [1] (beginning at "A beautiful story about Gautam Buddha...")

[edit] Unsigned comment

i think i remember another story where in the same passage that said that when the beings came down on earth, one being came down, this person (male) lived in castle or a large house. and he was alone on earth, and he thought 'i want another being to accomany me, so that i am not lonely' and as he thought that another being came down from the realm of radiance, who had already exhausted they good karma. as he thought more, more beings came down.

he said to the other beings that me is the creator for he was the first one here and by the sheer will of his thoughts he created the other beings.

well the story went someone like that or i read it somewhere and it was something like that. maybe i read this on wikipeida on an other article.

[edit] Pro-Buddhist bias

This article seems to be a bit pro-Buddhist... and it doesn't have any citations. Saimdusan Talk|Contribs 06:30, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
