Nirvana Day

February 15 is Nirvana or Parinirvana Day

„Nirvana Day is a time for contemplation of the Buddha’s teachings.The Buddha died at the age of 80 in the company of his monks. As recorded in the Parinibbana Sutta, the Buddha knew his life was at an end, and he assured his monks that he had withheld no spiritual teaching from them. He urged them to maintain the teachings so that they would continue to help people through the ages to come. Finally he said, ‘All conditioned things are subject to decay. Strive for your liberation with diligence.’ Those were his last words.”

Let’s reflect, this day, on the Buddhist teachings.

You don’t have to be Buddhist to remember the impermanence of things or to learn how to avoid the sufferings…
