Ajahn Appichato discusses sutta 16 of the Digha Nikaya – the Mahaparinibbana Sutta: The Discourse about the Great Emancipation.
“The longest of all discourses, this extended narrative tells of the events surrounding the Buddha’s death. Full of vivid and moving details, it is an ideal entry point into knowing the Buddha as a person, and understanding how the Buddhist community coped with his passing.” Sutta Central.
