To tell you honestly, yes and no. I haven't studied suttas; but, I have read many of them off and on without reference to the "books." It's a huge project to study.
Can you give me an idea and/or link specific to your answer?
I usually go to accesstoinsight to read a lot. The suttacentral is good too and haven't gone there in awhile.
When I looked it up, I get "Anguttara Nikaya". What does Pancha mean?
Bro. I am referring to Sutta Pitaka, not suttas. Sutta Pitaka is one of the Tipitaka's.
Anyway, lets move on.
In Sutta Pitaka, you get the five famous Nikayas or "talks". In that there is a Nikaya called Deega Nikaya. (Pronounced Dheega or theega. "Dh" pronounced like "The" or "Then"). Dheega Nikaya means lenngthy or long talk. In the Dheega Nikaaya you get "Chakkavatti Sutta". So you will find part of the eschatology there. If you read it, you will know what I am talking about.
I will give you a synopsis kind of thing. Take it as superficial, allegorical, metaphorical, actual or whatever you like. I say that because people will say all of those four things as explanation when convenient. Here goes. This is supposed to be in the future. I will ignore the past part.
1. Human attractiveness, wealth, pleasure, health or might will reduce.
2. People will live for 10 years in average (As in now or at the time this was written it was supposed to have been 100 years)
3. Human beings will be sexually active by the age of 5.
4. People will not be respected and paid homage to because of their righteousness.
5. There won't be any parenthood. No motherhood, fatherhood, priesthood etc
6. Those who lack all of these qualities will be the ones who will have respect and people will pay homage to them.
7. The word skill or skilful will not exist.
8. All human beings will carry swords. There will be carnage. People will hunt each other.
9. Few of them will hide in the wild to get away from this madness.
10. Then these people will come back, virtue will rise, all beauty, strength etc etc will rise, people will get sexual maturity at the age of 500. (people will live for either 1000 or 80000 years depending on the school of thought)
11. This is the time the Buddha Maithriya will appear.
12. The greatest king in the world at the time will become his disciple.
13. At this time there will be only 3 diseases. Desire, lack of things to eat, and old age. No other diseases.
14. Then the greatest king who became a disciple will go into seclusion, meditate and become arahath or enlightened. That will happen directly under the Buddhas guidance.
That is in Dheega Nikaya.
Sorry brother. I dont have links to the internet sources. I honestly dont. Anyway I hate to point to some website or a page that discusses concept after concept built on one verse from here and there. Direct reference. Buy the book. If you can find this on the net, im sure you can, and its great. You will definitely find all of what I said. Its just the second paragraph or third in the reference I gave. Easy to find.
Peace.
