T 1670B Nāgasena Bhikṣu Sūtra<br />
<br />
Part 2: Dialogues<br />
2.52. The Buddha’s Whereabouts after Parinirvana<br />
<br />
The king asked Nāgasena again, “Is there nirvana?”<br />
<br />
Nāgasena replied, “Yes, there is nirvana.”<br />
<br />
“Can you, Nāgasena, point out where the Buddha is?”<br />
<br />
“No, I cannot point out where the Buddha is since the Buddha has already attained parinirvana. It is impossible to show where the Buddha is.”<br />
<br />
Then Nāgasena gave a simile, “Suppose a man has lit a fire. When the fire has been extinguished, can anyone point out where the fire has gone?”<br />
<br />
“No one can,” said the king.<br />
<br />
Nāgasena said, “The Buddha has attained parinirvana and it cannot be pointed out where the Buddha has gone.”<br />
<br />
“Excellent, Nāgasena.”<br />
