History and Doctrines of the Ajivikas: A Vanished Indian Religion c22.24

c22.24

The Ājīvika process of salvation is sometimes in the Pāli texts called *saṃsāra-suddhi*, or salvation by transmigration, a very apt definition of the doctrine. "There is no short cut (lit. door) to bliss, Bijaka. Wait on Destiny. Whether (a man has) joy or sorrow, it is obtained through Destiny. All beings are purified through transmigration, (so) do not be eager for that which is to come." ¹
