The kalpa of the ancient Buddha Mahābhijñābhibhū (大通智; 勝佛), mentioned in the Lotus Sūtra, i. e. a kalpa of incalculable antiquity, e. g. surpassing the number of the particles of a chiliocosm which has been ground to powder, turned into ink, and dropped, drop by drop, at vast distances throughout boundless space.

為法華經化城喻品所舉大通智勝佛滅度以來久遠之劫量。彼佛滅度以來,甚大久遠,譬如三千大千世界所有地種(梵 prthivī-dhātu)悉磨為墨(梵masī),每經一個大千世界乃下一點,至諸墨俱盡,而所經之國土皆碎為微塵(梵 paramānu-rajas),以其一塵為一劫,乃顯大通智勝佛滅度以來久遠之劫量。法華經如來壽量品言釋尊成佛久遠以來,而另立五百塵點劫,或五百億塵點劫之說。〔大智度論卷三十二、法華經玄贊卷九〕(參閱「塵點劫」5765)
