[298] "Where, friend, one is not born, does not age, does not die, does not pass away, and is not reborn — I do not say that that end of the world is to be known, seen, or reached by traveling. Yet neither, friend, do I say that without having reached the end of the world there is a making of an end of suffering (dukkha). Rather, friend, it is in this very fathom-long carcass, endowed with perception (saññā) and mind, that I make known the world, the origin (samudaya) of the world, the cessation (nirodha) of the world, and the way of practice leading to the cessation of the world.
Never can the end of the world be reached by traveling,
yet without reaching the end of the world there is no release from suffering.
Therefore, truly, the knower of the world, the wise one,
gone to the end of the world, the holy life fulfilled,
having known the end of the world, at peace,
does not long for this world or another."
The Nanda Sutta, the Seventh
