The Cessation of Cause and Condition


"Is the man who will not be reborn aware of the fact?"

"Yes, O king."

"How does he know it?"

"By the cessation of all that is cause or condition of rebirth. As a farmer who does not plough or sow or reap would know that his granary is not getting filled up."

---The Milinda Panha (The Debate of King Milinda)---
