		This is a sign of the approaching end of his reign, according to the Buddhist law of change (anicca), and when the wheel disappears altogether into the earth, the wise king entrusts his throne to his son and retires from this world to live as an ascetic in the forest.
		The result was that the institution or the Sangha, the holy community of brothers and sisters, was developed to teach Dhamma to the rulers and to facilitate communication between the rulers and the ruled.
		Unlike the lay community, the Sangha reverses the process of degeneration of the human race described in the Buddhist creation myths: coercion is replaced by cooperation, private property by propertylessness, family and home by the community of androgynous wanderers, and hierarchy by egalitarian democracy.

		Rebirth eschatologies are not unique to India as many Indologists and intellectuals assume, but are found scattered in other parts of the world.
		The complex Buddhist doctrines of karma and rebirth came into being during the ethicization of these rebirth eschatologies, a process whereby a morally right or wrong action becomes a religiously right or wrong action that in turn affects a person's destiny after death.
		His conclusion is that rebirth eschatologies which are closest to the Buddhist, are found in the vast circumpolar belt, particularly among Northwest Coast Indians and the Inuit or Eskimo.

		Although recent systematized eschatology portrays confusion on this subject in the early church, many church fathers set forth theological principles which laid the foundation for modern systematized dispensationalism.
		Understanding the eschatological views of the early church fathers is imperative, because one frequent charge against dispensational premillennialists is that this system cannot pass the test of historical theology.

		One important difference is institutional: the Buddhist establishment, through its monasteries, became immensely wealthy over the course of this period, and as such evoked a fundamentalist protest (which often took on millenarian dimensions) on the part of believers who saw in this an abandonment of the basic Buddhist mission.
		The Buddhist elite were as concerned as their Daoist counterparts with heterodoxy, misinterpretation of the dharma (the Buddhist law), and popular movements that challenged monastic control, and they did all within their power to contain such challenges.
		The fundamentalist aspects of the reaction are most clearly seen in the Buddhist protests against the wealth and the corruption of the monastic community and the condemnation of the church for having abandoned its own mission of self-abnegation and transcendence.
