When the average life span became five hundred years, from the world of the Thirty-three Gods, Buddha Kashyapa the Elderchose to take birth in the human world to alleviate the suffering of old age.So in the place called Vulture Peak, he gave many teachings, including the anuyoga scriptures, to seven disciples who had taken on the form of arhats. He remained there seventy-five years and then went to practice asceticism, remining in the lotus posture for seven years. At the end of his life he left no mortal remains, dissolving into a body of light. He left his testament to the brahmin Gon Sem.
