Equanimity of the Buddha“The Buddha said that, if he wished, he could live for the remainder of theworld-cycle but he also said that he would die at the end of three months. Howcan both of these statements be true?”“Aeon, O king, in that connection means a man’s life-span and what theBuddha said was in order to exalt the bases of success (iddhipāda). The Blessed One was entirely free from desire for any kind of future life and condemned them all for he said, ‘I find no beauty in the smallest part of future life, just as even a small quantity of excrement is of bad smell’.”</blockquote>
