[quote:Anonymous Coward 904314:MV8xNTMyNjc4XzI1MzA2MjcyX0ZGNzI1NUFD] [quote:Anonymous Coward 1432077] It takes one hour and a half to make a real good apple pie. Same amount of time to do two loads of laundry. Take your pick you can't have both; I vote for the pie. Dream on dreamers. There are things to do. [/quote] What is this "hour", other than an arbitrary slice of length decided more or less randomly by some group of humans at some point? There is no actually thing known as "hour", and this is according to science. [/quote]
Original Message
Time, in Buddhism, is defined as a measurement of change.
For example, a month is the measurement of change involved either externally in the moon circling the earth or internally in a woman going from one menstruation to the next. Such changes are cyclical in that the pattern repeats, although the events of each cycle are not completely identical. Externally, the universe passes through cosmic, astronomical, astrological and historical cycles.
