#Nirvana in #Buddhism is the cessation of suffering (#dukkha), craving, and ignorance — an unconditioned state beyond birth and death.

The passing away of the Buddha, Pakistan, Gandhara, 2nd-3rd c., schist. At the age of 80, the Buddha consumes a spoiled meal while traveling. Weakened, he lies down in a grove to die. He gives his monks encouragement one last time and gives instructions on how to deal with his mortal remains. Then the Buddha finally enters Nirvana. The relief depicts monks and laypeople gathering to mourn at the deathbed. Exhibited at the Humboldt Forum in Berlin, 2023.

I don't know where this came from, and why it was never out there before, but here's a clip of Kurt Cobain calling for Chad Channing at a #Nirvana show in which they had heard Chad was in the crowd. He wasn't, but it was really sweet of Kurt to invite him up to play School. Or maybe this is just AI. You can't believe anything these days
