Nibbana
佛陀⼊湼槃 Nirvana

Gautama Buddha’s last days were spent at Kushinagar. On

the day of his nibbana he gave them his final teaching. The

precise English translation of these final words, like all

Buddhist teachings, is open to interpretation as it was ⼤湼槃寺, 拘⼫那罗

spoken in Pali and passed on orally, not being written down Mahaparinirvana Temple,

for some centuries after Buddha’s death. One such Kushinagar

interpretation is: “Behold, O monks, this is my advice to you.

All component things in the world are changeable. They are

not lasting. Work hard to gain your own salvation.”

The last Bhikkhu to be ordained by the Buddha was （尼泊尔 Nepal: 2005)

Subhadra. When the Buddha was on his bed Subhadra came

to him to ask him about the doctrine. The Buddha allowed

him to come to his presence. After a discussion Subhadra

wished to enter the order of Bhikkhus. The Buddha allowed

him to enter the order, just before the Buddha attained

Supreme Nibbana. （寮国 Laos: 1953)
