The world is made of numerals.
Time is made of numerals.
Space is made of numerals.
And these innumerable numerals come together to form 'LIFE'.
Buddhism has long expressed these wonders by using unimaginable numerals.
For example, time is represented by "Multitudinousness Nayuta Asogiko 百千万億那由他阿僧祇劫 (10¹²¹ years)" and the "Five Hundred Jintengo 五百塵点劫 (10²⁷⁰ years)"—vast spans of time.
Or the Three Thousand Daisensekai (三千大千世界), said to encompass the space of 10¹³ solar systems according to current calculations—something that can only be represented by the accumulation of such a tremendous numerals.
'Time' is expressed through infinite numerical beads.
'Space' is reflected through an infinite numerical beads.
Through these countless beads, the wonder of life is revealed.
