Today is Nirvana Day. No, it's not the day that Kurt Cobain died. At least, I don't think it is. Today is the day some 2489 years ago that the Buddha passed into parinirvana. That's like another word for died. Allegedly his last words were:
Now, monks, I exhort you: the components of the personality are subject to decay; exert yourselves with diligence!
I hope he's right, because there's a few personalities I'd like to see decay.
