The Kalpa – in Korean '겁 geop’
One kalpa (劫) is said to be the time it takes for a drop of water to make a hole in a large rock once every 1,000 years or for a rock to be worn away by the hem of a fairy’s skirt that come down to earth once every 100 years.
The original expression '겁’ is a phonetic transcription of the Sanskrit word kalpa – so in Buddhism, eternity means that this kalpa continues again and again, refering to an incalculable amount of time.
