Some ascetics and priests create annihilationist theories about future eons and claim sentient beings will be annihilated without remainder. They all enter seven views about future eons by doing so. Creating annihilationist theories about future eons and claiming that sentient beings will be annihilated without remainder, they don’t go beyond these seven views. > — Charles Patton, The Long Discourses (selected sūtras) > “What are the reasons that those ascetics and priests create annihilationist theories about future eons and claim that sentient beings will be annihilated without remainder, entering seven views that they don’t go beyond? > — Charles Patton, The Long Discourses (selected sūtras) > “Some ascetics and priests create such a theory and form such a view as this: ‘My body of four elements and six senses was born from parents, fed milk, and raised, grew larger with clothes and food, and it’s caressed, hugged, and protected. Still, it’s impermanent and sure to decay and die. That’s precisely what’s called “annihilated.”’ This is the first view. > — Charles Patton, The Long Discourses (selected sūtras) > “Some ascetics and priests say this: ‘Here, I won’t be called annihilated.
