When the Buddha departed transcending the world, he did not take his body with him, nor did he take his mind with him; it was merely the cessation of suffering. Earth, water, fire, wind, and space are constantly in the world without interruption. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.17](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.730.1.17) - [Next: 1.19](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.730.1.19) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.730.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.730~en-mt.1.18) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.730.1.18](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.730.1.18) · Pramāṇa
