VI.15 Parinibbana Sutta Total Unbinding Translated from the Pali by Thanissaro Bhikkhu. For free distribution only. On one occasion the Blessed One was staying near Kusinara in Upavattana , the Sal Tree Grove of the Mallans , on the occasion of his total Unbinding.
All fabrications are subject to decay.
Bring about completion by being heedful. Those were the Tathagata's last words. Then the Blessed One entered the first jhana. Emerging from that he entered the second jhana. Emerging from the fourth jhana, he immediately was totally Unbound.
