kalpa of disintegration
空劫 (Jpn ku-ko )
One of the four kalpas. The fourth and last period of the four-stage cycle of formation, continuance, decline, and disintegration, which a world is said to undergo repeatedly. The time it takes to complete this four-kalpa cycle is called a major kalpa. The kalpa of disintegration is the period lasting from the annihilation of a world at the end of the kalpa of decline until the formation of a new world. This kalpa, like the other three kalpas of the cycle, lasts for twenty small kalpas. Each small kalpa is said to last nearly sixteen million years.
