A Buddhist Genesis
Again, there is a season, at vast intervals in the lapse of time, when this world is re-evolved; and upon the world's evolution, people disappear from the host of the Radiant and come down hither.[1] And they are mind-made, feeders on joy, self-resplendent, traversing the sky, and abiding in goodness. [And so] do they dwell for a long, long period...

Annie Besant, by Annie Besant
It is a difficult thing to tell the story of a life, and yet more difficult when that life is one's own. At the best, the telling has a savour of vanity, and the only excuse for the proceeding is that the life, being an average one, reflects many others, and in troublous times like ours may give the experience of many rather than of one.

Apocrypha Arabica by Margaret Dunlop Gibson [1901]

Autobiographical Sketches, by Annie Besant
I am so often asked for references to some pamphlet or journal in which may be found some outline of my life, and the enquiries are so often couched in terms of such real kindness, that I have resolved to pen a few brief autobiographical sketches, which may avail to satisfy friendly questioners, and to serve, in some measure, as defence against unfair attack.

Buddha's Discourse on the End of the World
Now there comes, O monks, a season when, after many years, many hundreds and thousands and hundreds of thousands of years, it does not rain; and while it rains not, all seedlings and vegetation, all plants, grasses, and trees dry up, wither away and cease to be. Thus, monks, constituent things are impermanent, unstable, non-eternal: so much so, that this alone is enough to weary and disgust one therewith and emancipate therefrom...

Buddhism In Our Daily Life Lecture 2
In last week's discussion of the concept of birth and death, the
one-life theory and the multi-life theory were introduced. I also
used a familiar natural phenomenon, the multi-form of H2O, to
illustrate my belief that the multi-life theory taught by Hinduism and
Buddhisn is closer to the truth than the one-life theory. We found
that H2O is a good analogy for the human soul...
