[502] "Friend, when how many things have abandoned this body does this body lie discarded, cast aside, like an insentient log?"
"Friend, when three things — vitality (āyu), heat (usmā), and consciousness (viññāṇa) — have abandoned this body, then this body lies discarded, cast aside, like an insentient log."
"Friend, one who is dead, who has completed his time, and a bhikkhu who has attained the cessation of perception and feeling (saññāvedayitanirodha) — what is the difference between them?"
"Friend, in one who is dead, who has completed his time, the bodily formations have ceased and subsided, the verbal formations have ceased and subsided, the mental formations have ceased and subsided; his vitality is exhausted, his heat is stilled, his faculties (indriya) are broken apart. But in a bhikkhu who has attained the cessation of perception and feeling, the bodily formations have ceased and subsided, the verbal formations have ceased and subsided, the mental formations have ceased and subsided; yet his vitality is not exhausted, his heat is not stilled, and his faculties are exceptionally clear. This, friend, is the difference between one who is dead, who has completed his time, and a bhikkhu who has attained the cessation of perception and feeling."
