These storybooks chronicle the final months and teachings of the Buddha as he traveled toward his eventual passing in Kusinārā. The text highlights his interactions with various followers, including the wealthy courtesan Ambapālī, his faithful attendant Ānanda, and his final convert, Subhadda. Central to these accounts are the Buddha’s instructions on mindfulness and the importance of self-reliance, urging his disciples to seek refuge in the Teaching rather than in any individual leader. Despite facing a severe, life-threatening illness after a meal provided by Cunda the Smith, the Buddha remains composed and compassionate, ensuring that his host feels no guilt for the accidental affliction. The narrative concludes by detailing the miraculous events surrounding his passing and the establishment of sacred pilgrimage sites intended to inspire future generations of practitioners.
