parinibbana

Is this leaning towards an eternalist view, that something beyond physical death lasts forever?

[Prasadachitta]

Dependent arising lasts forever. When we see Dependent arising we see the Buddha.

Not existing
Not non existing
Not both
Not neither

The buddha teaches the ending of dependent arising which is what leads one to nibbana. If there was no ending to dependent arising then there would be no nibbana as there would be continuous birth?

[Prasadachitta]

Actually the Buddha teaches the ending of Suffering.
Transcendental Dependent Arising has no end it just leads endlessly away from suffering.
The Buddha teaches two basic types of Dependent Arising. That which leads endlessly to suffering and that which leads endlessly away.
Seeing clearly into the type which leads to endless suffering is what we need to do in order to give rise to the type which leads us forever away from it.
