When the Buddha was fully quenched, some of the mendicants there who were not free of desire, with arms raised, falling down like their feet were chopped off, rolling back and forth, lamented: “Too soon the Blessed One has become fully quenched! Too soon the Holy One has become fully quenched! Too soon the Eye of the World has vanished!”

But the mendicants who were free of desire endured, mindful and aware, thinking,
6.10.30
“aniccā saṅkhārā, taṃ kutettha labbhā”ti.
“Conditions are impermanent. How could it possibly be otherwise?”
