The Buddha told Venerable Ananda who before the Buddha passed away. The Buddha’s teaching will have been established in the world for 5,000 years. After BE 2,500, the human beings will confront with dangers. Thereafter, danger will be increased. Giants who were cursed to sleep, they would wake and harm people.
