Hekiganroku - Case 29: Daizui and the "Kalpa Fire" A monk asked Daizui, "When the great kalpa fire is inflamed, the whole universe [1] will be destroyed. I wonder if 'that' will also be destroyed or not." Daizui said, "Destroyed." The monk said, "If so, will 'that' be gone with the other?" [2] Daizui said, "Gone with the other." [1] Literally: "a billion worlds" [2] The word "the other" means "the universe."
