Parinirvana

Just to quote Buddha Shakyamuni:
There is that sphere where there is neither earth,
nor water, nor fire, nor wind; neither the infinitude of space,
nor the infinitude of consciousness,
neither this world, nor the next world, nor sun, nor moon.
And there, I say, there is neither coming, nor going, nor stasis;
neither passing away nor arising:
without stance, without foundation, without support.
(Udana VIII.1-Nibbana Sutta, Total Unbinding)
