When the Buddha Shakyamuni passed into extinction, the term used was extinction, not death or died. This is because the fundamental teaching of life contains a state defined as Samsara; a temporary realm of the cycles of birth/death. This is the definition of moment to moment birth/death cycles as the perceptive timeline of Samsaric conditioned existence. There is nothing ”beyond” or ”before” or ”after”. There is no ”soul” or ”self” or any thing, remember the teaching of ”Impermanence” and dependent origination.

The Middle Way is the clarity of ”knowing” and acknowledging the ”Matrix” while we freely engage in it. Not Eternalism or Annihilationism, but rather the ”Middle” way.

These early teachings of the mind and its domain over our life condition was revolutionary and controversial in its day.

So how do we do this ceasing of cravings thing? We must retrain our minds to appreciate the ocean without distraction from the waves.
