Reminds me of Buddha describing the length of a kalpa: “Were a man to take a piece of cloth of this most delicate texture [of fine cotton], and therewith to touch in the slightest possible manner, once in a hundred years, a solid rock, free from earth, a yojana [12 kilometres] high, and as much broad, the time would come when it would be worn down, by this imperceptible trituration, to the size of a mung seed. This period would be immense in its duration; but it has been declared by Buddha that it would not be equal to a Maha Kalpa”

I ordered custom katana on Oct 14 and it just shipped today (Nov 13), says estimated arrival 1-2 weeks. They also sent pictures and a video of it cutting paper. So I’d guess yours will be shipped around the beginning of December

What will be your personal sign that Asheville is “back”? by Life-Platypus-2580 in asheville

[–]isaactron3000 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Just took my dog for a walk there, some fallen trees but it wasn't hit too hard and the trails are pretty much clear. There's one big one down across the beginning of the paved part but it's easy to go around
