Then the Buddha said to the mendicants: \u201cCome now, mendicants, I say to you all: \u2018Conditions fall apart. Persist with diligence.\u2019\u201d These were the Realized One\u2019s last words. Then the Buddha entered the first absorption. Emerging from that, he entered the second absorption. Emerging from that, he successively entered into and emerged from the third absorption, the fourth absorption, the dimension of infinite space, the dimension of infinite consciousness, the dimension of nothingness, and the dimension of neither perception nor non-perception. Then he entered the cessation of perception and feeling. Then he emerged from the cessation of perception and feeling and entered the dimension of neither perception nor non-perception. Emerging from that, he successively entered into and emerged from the dimension of nothingness, the dimension of infinite consciousness, the dimension of infinite space, the fourth absorption, the third absorption, the second absorption, and the first absorption. Emerging from that, he successively entered into and emerged from the second absorption and the third absorption. Then he entered the fourth absorption. Emerging from that the Buddha immediately became fully extinguished. When the Buddha was fully quenched, along with the full extinguishment, the divinity Sahampati spoke this verse: \u201cAll creatures in this world must lay down this bag of bones. For even a Teacher such as this, unrivaled in the world, the Realized One, attained to power, the Buddha was fully quenched.\u201d When the Buddha was fully quenched, Sakka, lord of gods, spoke this verse: \u201cOh! Conditions are impermanent, their nature is to rise and fall; having arisen, they cease; their settling is such bliss.\u201d When the Buddha was fully quenched, Venerable \u0100nanda spoke this verse: \u201cThen there was terror! Then they had goosebumps! When the Buddha, endowed with all fine qualities, was fully quenched.\u201d When the Buddha was fully quenched, Venerable Anuruddha spoke this verse: \u201cThere was no more breathing for the unaffected one of steady heart. Imperturbable, committed to peace, the Clear-eyed One was fully quenched. He put up with painful feelings without flinching. The liberation of his heart was like the extinguishing of a lamp.\u201d The Linked Discourses on the Divinity are complete.","title":"Full Extinguishment","tradition":"Samyutta Nikaya","translated_text":null,"word_count":384}
