UKT 140503: The Viniya rules stipulate that a monk must not destroy life, or the embryo which would give rise to a life-form. Thus, it is up to the layman to "destroy" the vital force present in an embryo (as in the seed of a plant) before offering it to the monk. Thus, a monk must not eat the flesh of an animal that was purposely killed for him to eat. However, he may eat what we would call a "road-kill" - an animal killed by traffic. Buddhism does not promote "vegetarianism".

UKT 140503: I am getting the idea that this description of world cycles was of
Buddhist origin brought out by
Buddhaghosa in Visuddhimagga written in SriLanka many centuries
-- 430 CE -- after the death of the Buddha. I am led to speculate that the
eminent Buddhist commentator
Buddhaghosa had based his source on the pre-Buddhistic ideas of Tib-Burman
speakers of the Himalayan regions extending into the present-day Myanmarpé.
There are claims that
Buddhaghosa himself was a native of Thaton in southern Myanmarpé and was a
Mon-Myan speaker. For similar ideas, we should look into Tibet Buddhism, and its
predecessor the Bön religion which probably is related to the Bodaw
{Bo:tau:}-subset
of Bur-Myan Theravada religion. See also Folk Elements in Buddhism by

From Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kalpa_aeon 140503
Kalpa is a Sanskrit word (Hindi: कल्प kalpa) meaning an aeon, or a relatively long period of time (by human calculation) in Hindu and Buddhist cosmology. The concept is first mentioned in the Mahabharata. The definition of a kalpa equalling 4.32 billion years is found in the Puranas (specifically Vishnu Purana and Bhagavata Purana).
UKT 140503: The following account is in Visuddhimagga by Buddhaghosa written ca. 430 CE in Sri Lanka. It is probably influenced by Hindu views.
According to Visuddhimagga, there are several explanations for types of kalpas and their duration. In the first explanation, there are four types:
In another simple explanation, there are four different lengths of kalpas. A regular kalpa is approximately 16 million years long (16,798,000 years[1]), and a small kalpa is 1000 regular kalpas, or about 16 billion years. Further, a medium kalpa is roughly 320 billion years, the equivalent of 20 small kalpas. A great kalpa is 4 medium kalpas, or around 1.28 trillion years.
Buddha had not spoken about the exact length of the Maha-kalpa in number of years. However, he had given several astounding analogies to understand it.
1. Imagine a huge empty cube at the beginning of a kalpa, approximately 16 miles in each side. Once every 100 years, you insert a tiny mustard seed into the cube. According to the Buddha, the huge cube will be filled even before the kalpa ends.
2. Imagine a gigantic rocky mountain at the beginning of kalpa, approximately 16 x 16 x 16 miles (dwarfing Mt. Everest). You take a small piece of silk and wipe the mountain once every 100 years. According to the Buddha, the mountain will be completely depleted even before the kalpa ends.
In one situation, some monks wanted to know how many kalpas had died so far. The Buddha gave the analogy:
1. If you count the total number of sand particles at the depths of the Ganges river, from where it begins to where it ends at the sea, even that number will be less than the number of passed kalpas.[2]
In Hinduism (cf. Hindu Time Cycles), it is equal to 4.32 billion years, a "day of Brahma" or one thousand mahayugas,[3] measuring the duration of the world (scientists estimate the age of the Earth at 4.54 billion years).[4] Each kalpa is divided into 14 manvantara periods, each lasting 71 yuga cycles (306,720,000 years). Preceding the first and following each manvatara period is a juncture (sandhya) the length of a Satya-yuga (1,728,000) years.[5] Two kalpas constitute a day and night of Brahma. A "month of Brahma" is supposed to contain thirty such days (including nights), or 259.2 billion years. According to the Mahabharata, 12 months of Brahma (=360 days) constitute his year, and 100 such years the life cycle of the universe. Fifty years of Brahma are supposed to have elapsed, and we are now in the shvetavaraha-kalpa of the fifty-first; at the end of a Kalpa the world is annihilated.
