 named Saṅkha शंख. During his reign, the current bodhisattva in the Tuṣita heaven will descend and be reborn under the name of Ajita अजित. He will enter the life of a śramaṇa and will gain perfect enlightenment as a Buddha; and he will then be known by the name of Maitreya (मैत्रेयः, Pāli: Metteyya मेत्तेय्य).
Every sixty-fourth mahākalpa, after fifty six destructions by fire and seven destructions by water, there is a destruction by wind. This is the most devastating of all, as it also destroys the Śubhakṛtsna worlds. The higher worlds are never destroyed.
Mahayana Buddhism accepts the cosmology as above.[22][23] A cosmology with some difference is further explained in Chapter 5 of the Avatamsaka Sutra.

Petrolia Mall has been slowly gaining steam as a project. The addition of the clinic and the Medicine Shoppe have been drawing new visitors to the complex, and every community member that I speak to is excited to visit the new businesses that are planned there for the coming year.
Of course, the complete vision for Petrolia is full leasing in the complex, and we all know that is still a ways off from happening. But with each new business that moves into the complex and receives the support of the community, it will demonstrate to more business owners that moving to Petrolia is a wise decision. Mimi’s Pub, which is a proposed restaurant hoping to start construction in the old mechanic shop this summer, will help to further snowball the momentum that Petrolia is developing into a desirable community commercial hub greater than the sum of its parts.
Unfortunately, the proponent for the restaurant has run into a problem. Within No Frills' lease agreement is a no construction clause for sites surrounding the No Frills, including the parking lot.
My office, as well as the leasing agent and some representatives from the community, have provided letters of support asking that Loblaws, the parent company for No Frills, at least consider working towards a solution and be flexible so that this restaurant can be built.
To be frank, in my opinion, this is a simple matter for Loblaws, but a big issue for the community. What’s more, it serves no one to have that space remain vacant due to something as small as this clause in the lease. More visitors to the mall will enhance business for No Frills, and of course Loblaws by extension.
It’s my hope that we will be able to move past this roadblock quickly and amiably with the cooperation of Loblaws.
Be the first to commentBruce Becker, weekend warrior, was playing some serious lacrosse on the weekends.
Which was how he developed a serious case of tendinitis in his arm.
The orthopedist he visited did an MRI and suggested surgery to fix the problem. However, the doctor also acknowledged that the surgery might not fix the problem.
"I thought `I'd rather endure the pain,'" Becker, 47, of Danbury said.
But instead, Becker found his way to the Center for Pain Rehabilitation in Danbury, run by Dr, Mitchell Prywes. Through physical therapy and acupuncture -- including acupuncture with electric stimulus -- he's getting the use of his arm back.
When he started, with Prywes he had about 15 to 20 percent use of his arm, compared to when it was healthy. Now it's improved to 60 percent.
"I want to get to 75 percent, maybe 90 percent,'' Becker said.
Which Prywes said, is part of his philosophy on integrative medicine.
He's not promising any miracle cure. But through different therapies, through diet and exercise and the involvement of the patient in that therapy, he's seen that things can get better.
And, he said, that care comes while emphasizing the patient's overall health -- mind, body and spirit alike.
"We want to focus on health and wellness rather than disease system management,'' he said.
And, he said, it's an approach based in medical science.
"If I have pneumonia, I want antibiotics,'' he said.
Prywes has practiced in the city for 22 years -- first as the associate director of rehabilitative medicine at Danbury Hospital, then in his own practice at the center.
He's a physiatrist -- a doctor who specializes in the way muscles and connective tissue work with the skeletal system.
But he's also a medical acupuncturist. He's studied osteopathic manipulation. He has a physical therapist on staff. And he's a fellow at the Arizona Center for Integrative Medicine, which is led by Dr, Andrew Weill, the most influential practitioner of integrative medicine in the United States.
What Prywes tries to do, whenever possible, is a low-tech approach to his patients' care. There's more doctor-patient interaction, and an emphasis on patient involvement in their own care.
Prywes also stresses diet and stress reduction in his practice -- things like yoga, swimming and tai chi are part of his treatment regimen.
And he's also learned, over time, that techniques like acupuncture -- viewed skeptically by many steeped in the traditions of Western medicine -- has its value.
"He's a magician,'' said Kirk Dugan, 42 of Brookfield, who goes to Prywes for help with the myofacial pain he's suffered from in his neck, shoulder and back after
