=======================================

I am the owner of my karma .
I inherit my karma.
I am born of my karma.
I am related to my karma.
I live supported by my karma.
Whatever karma I create, whether good or evil, that I shall inherit.


The Buddha, Anguttara Nikaya V.57 - Upajjhatthana Sutta



“The Aryan Eightfold Path is the path leading to Immortality” [SN 5.8]




“Both formerly and now, I’ve never been a nihilist (vinayika), neverbeen one who teaches the annihilation of a being, rather taught only the source of suffering (that being avijja, or nescience/agnosis), and its ending (avijja).”

- Buddha



At that time, Vaccha, when a being has laid down this body,

and that being (satto) has not yet taken up another (annataram) body

(kayam) in rebirth (anupapanno); therein I declare [that beings]

fuel to be thirstfulness (tanhupadanam). At that time, Vaccha, I

declare [the beings] fuel to be thirstfulness.
