Ha. Tipitaka contains direct denial of jewish apocalypse forecasts.

Tanakh:
The most prominent and canonical example is the Book of Daniel (dated by most scholars to around 165 BCE, though set in the 6th century BCE during the Babylonian exile). Chapters 7–12 are classic apocalyptic material:
Visions of four great beasts rising from the sea, representing successive empires.
A "son of man" figure receiving everlasting dominion from God.
Prophecies of earthly kingdoms clashing, a time of great distress, the resurrection of the dead (some to everlasting life, others to shame), and the ultimate triumph of God's eternal kingdom.
Symbolic imagery of horns, desecration of the Temple, and angelic interpreters revealing the course of history up to a final deliverance.d2333e
Daniel is the only full apocalypse included in the Hebrew Bible and heavily influenced later Jewish and Christian end-times thought, including the New Testament Book of Revelation.

Tipitaca:


Q1.

I dreamt of four black bulls coming from four different directions into the royal courtyard preparing for a fight, drawing a crowd who were disappointed by the subsequent quiet departure of the would-be fighters.

Buddha

It will come to pass when kings and their subjects backslide and become perverse and unrighteous. There shall be drought and famine in the land. At the sign of an imminent storm, women folk would rush to carry sun-dried rice and crops indoors and the men will go forth to raise the embankments. But Lo, just like the bulls in your dream fought not, just so there shall be only thunder and lightning but no rain.
