'''Taishō 374''' '''Volume 12''' The ''Nirvana Sutra'' deals with the teachings given by Śākyamuni shortly before his death (''mahāparinirvāṇa''). ''Nirvāṇa'' means "extinguishing the flames of passion and attaining the state of enlightenment." Since Śākyamuni attained enlightenment at the age of 35, he did in fact already enter nirvāṇa at this time. But because it was considered impossible to completely extinguish the passions while retaining a physical body, Śākyamuni’s death came to be called ''mahāparinirvāṇa'', i.e. "the state of great serenity in which the flames of passion have been completely extinguished." The sūtra gives the teachings expounded by Śākyamuni immediately before his death. As it contains episodes relating to events before and after his death, it also has value as historical source material. '''Source''' Skt.
