As I know Buddhism, it says 'Nothing is permament'
I just came across this in Wikipedia :
> ...a Buddha is immortal. Even though he descends in the samsara to
> preach Dharma and save sentient beings from suffering, his original body remains in a transcendent realm. That body will not die upon the death of the physical body of Buddha, and hence a Buddha is beyond arising and passing away...
It is given as a Mahayana Perspective of the Lotus Sutta.
So, what does this really mean?
Is it that there exists something even after Parinirvana?
Or have I understood it wrong?
