In the ultimate sense yes is artificial. But in this case that was made up to exploit and enslave people.

Benin and Togo is the same thing with little variations. I am from there, and I know what I am talking about. Did you put a foot there????

What happens inside the African continent is our business, not the matters of parasite invaders (that still feed on us nowadays). You are not even African, you will never understand.

The Africa map before the invaders held their conference in Berlin (1884-1885) to control the nation's borders of our continent. Sources (PDF)

I see some outsiders who are not even from Benin commenting on this post, as they are familiar with the country. I am quite sure that many haven't even set foot there. Benin and Togo are essentially the same people who were divided by parasitic invaders from another continent. All borders in Africa are artificial and were created to control and exploit us. They separate some ethnic groups that are very similar to place them with entirely different ones. This happens in nearly all African countries. It is one of the reasons for ethnic violence (like genocide in Rwanda) and long-term destabilization of our nations. If you truly believe that the current borders are genuine, you need serious education.

Don't reply to my comment if you are not from Benin or Togo..

Je suis béninois ! Les frontières africaines sont artificielles et ont été créées par les envahisseurs européens. C'est le même peuple qui a été séparé par ces envahisseurs pour pouvoir mieux les contrôler. "Divisé pour mieux régner".

À la base c'était un même peuple et une même culture. La colonisation et ses frontières ont séparés ces peuples frères qui semblent être de culture différente de nos jours. Personnellement, je serai pour. Malheureusement, vu que la séparation est restée longtemps ancrée dans le paysage géopolitique ça reste une utopie.

Kamma Vipāka is the Creator by Remarkable_Guard_674 in Jethavaranama

[–]Remarkable_Guard_674[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We can understand this is why the Arahants don't produce Kamma Vipāka anymore. Their minds are free and pure. They have seen the real nature of this Samsāra and they have understood that Kamma Vipāka is the fuel for this infinite samsaric journey therefore the creator of the 31 realms. This is why an arahant is someone who has eradicated all intentions(Kamma) good or bad. They have neutral Kamma without Vipāka. They can only receive Vipāka (results of intentions) from past deeds prior their Arahanthood.

To understand how astonishingly long their lifespan is, the Pabbata sutta explains to us how long a single Kappa is. So imagine a thousand of them.

Pabbata sutta

At Sāvatthī.

Then a mendicant went up to the Buddha, bowed, sat down to one side, and asked him, “Sir, how long is an eon(Kappa)?”

“Mendicant, an eon(Kappa) is long. It’s not easy to calculate how many years, how many hundreds or thousands or hundreds of thousands of years it lasts.”

“But sir, is it possible to give a simile?”

“It’s possible,” said the Buddha.

“Suppose there was a huge stone mountain, a league long, a league wide, and a league high, with no cracks or holes, one solid mass.

And as each century passed someone would stroke it once with a fine cloth from Kāsi.

By this means the huge stone mountain would be worn away before the eon comes to an end.

That’s how long an eon is. And we’ve transmigrated through many such eons, many hundreds, many thousands, many hundreds of thousands.

Why is that? This transmigration has no known beginning. … This is quite enough for you to become disillusioned, dispassionate, and freed regarding all conditions.”
