I've just recently adopted Buddhist practice, and I've been recently reading up on anything Buddhist, just so I can get a good grasp of the teachings. However, I'm stuck when it comes to Buddhist cosmology...like the whole theory of the life expectancy of mankind throughout the ages, the lineage of Buddhas, how the teachings will disappear, etc. This stuff seems a little freaky to me, and I was wondering how I should look at this information. Is it meant to be taken literally? :/ Or is it a metaphor?
