An ordained Bhikkhu shared the following with me.
> "You have done what is good and wholesome, you have made a shelter
> from fear. You have not done anything to harm other. You have not been
> greedy and immoral. You have forgiven the world difficult life
> pleasure and pain with compassion and after death you will be reborn
> in a happy destination." … said Buddha before death when he invited
> all the monks and followers to come and watch how the noble one dies.
I do not know if he paraphrased and I could not find it with a Google search... he was saying the idea that Buddha died from eating bad pork was incorrect.
He was vaguely referencing mushrooms as a possible cause and then also mentioned that Buddha died through some supernatural phenomenon and this was in some Pali sutta.
I was wondering if anyone knew where this quote is from (and hence the rest of the story)?
