Weight: 686 g Dimensions: Length 24.2 cm The death of the Buddha, also known as the Buddha’s Parinirvana referring to the Buddha’s enlightenment after death, has been depicted widely in Buddhist iconography and is accounted in the Mahaparinirvana sutra. According to Buddhist tradition, the Buddha died in Kushinagara, Northern India, with the traditional dates of Buddha's life from 566-486 BC. After his death, the Buddha’s body was cremated and distributed among his followers. The stupas that guarded his remains became important pilgrimage sites for Buddhists. The Mahaparinirvaṇa sutra is one of the most important Buddhist scriptures in China and Tibet, and it relates the events surrounding the Buddha’s death. The precise date of origin of this text is uncertain, but its early form may have developed in or by the second century CE. The original Sanskrit text is not extant except for a small number of fragments, but it survives in Chinese and Tibetan translation.
