death

The point at which life in any of the six realms of rebirth ceases. In Buddhist thought, repeated death encapsulates the existential problem of life in saṃsāra, from which nirvāṇa is the only release. As such, death is ennumerated as an aspect of suffering (duḥkha) under the First Noble Truth (see Four Noble Truths). In the Pāli Canon death is defined in biological terms as the cessation of vitality (āyu), heat (usmā), and consciousness (viññāna, Skt., vijñāna) (e.g. S. iii. 143). Old age and death is also the twelfth link in the chain of Dependent Origination (pratītya-samutpāda). In Buddhist scholasticism (Abhidharma), it is held that death occurs from moment to moment as phenomena arise and perish within the individual life-continuum (see bhavaṇga). The last of these moments, known as the cuti-citta, is when existence in any life ceases. Death also has great symbolic significance, and is represented mythologically by the figure of Māra, the Buddhist devil.
