S\u0101riputta said this: \u201cA mendicant lives life so as to not have a good death. And how do they live life so as to not have a good death? Take a mendicant who relishes work, talk, sleep, company, closeness, and proliferation. They love these things and like to relish them. A mendicant who lives life like this does not have a good death. This is called a mendicant who enjoys substantial reality, who hasn\u2019t given up substantial reality to rightly make an end of suffering. A mendicant lives life so as to have a good death.

They don\u2019t love these things or like to relish them. A mendicant who lives life like this has a good death. This is called a mendicant who delights in extinguishment, who has given up substantial reality to rightly make an end of suffering.

But one who gives up proliferation, enjoying the state of non-proliferation, wins extinguishment, the supreme sanctuary from the yoke.\u201d","title":"A Good Death","tradition":"Anguttara Nikaya","translated_text":null,"word_count":212}
