Now let’s fast forward, the Buddha teaches for about 40 years and then he dies. Or really he obtains nirvana or Nibbana – he is no longer subject to rebirth. Why? Because he has gained release from suffering. He does not cling, he does not experience aversion. And if you consider his body of teaching, the thousands of lessons he taught, the thousand of lessons his monks taught – why? What was the reason? To show us how to live in a way that we could gain release from suffering.
