A reading and talk given at Kusinara, the site of the Mahaparinibbana (passing of the Buddha) whilst on pilgrimage in Northern India. The final Nibbana and the events immediately after the occasion itself are extremely interesting for Buddhist practitioners. Both culturally and spiritually. After an impeccable, energetic and selfless life, and after aeons of preparation, finally Lord Buddha attained a state of unceasing peace, without any residue of past clinging and attachment. From now his Teaching and Training and the lineage of well practiced disciples must be the Refuge for those who wish to grow in the Masters Way.
