Does Mahabrahma create the lives of those that join him in a new world? From wikipedia > During the Vivartakalpa, a deity from Abhassara plane is reborned in > the Mahabrahma plane, as many living beings forget about their past > life, this too happens with the Mahabrahma, and being unaware of the > above planes of existence, he felt alone.

So, mahabrahamd does not create their sentience (which existed prior to this world cycle): but does he create their presence with him or their life? I'm asking because I'm unsure whether there is truly no omnipotence in Buddism.
