I reached in experience the nirvana which is unborn, unrivalled, secure from attachment, undecaying and unstained.

This new life is endless, and even after my physical death it will be kept alive by those who live the life of complete renunciation of falsehood, lies, hatred, anger, greed and lust and who, to accomplish all this, do no lustful actions, do no harm to anyone.
