Rebirth is ended

[sentinel]

What does it means by rebirth is ended ?
After aggregates dissolution and it does not re-arise and no future birth ?

They understand: ‘Rebirth is ended, the spiritual journey has been completed, what had to be done has been done, there is no return to any state of existence.’
‘Khīṇā jāti, vusitaṃ brahmacariyaṃ, kataṃ karaṇīyaṃ, nāparaṃ itthattāyā’ti pajānāti.

Susīma, do you see that rebirth is a condition for old age and death?”
‘Jātipaccayā jarāmaraṇan’ti, susima, passasī”ti?

“Yes, sir.”
“Evaṃ, bhante”.

“Do you see that continued existence is a condition for rebirth?”
“‘Bhavapaccayā jātī’ti, susima, passasī”ti?

“Yes, sir.”
“Evaṃ, bhante”.

That's right. Go where the candle flame goes when it's blown out.

Does "No return to any state of existence" similar to extinguishing of five aggregates hence annihilation in contrast to existence (of five aggregates) ?



Ps . Asankhata ie that which is of its own without any dependence on conditioned phenomena , isnt that not totally nothingness , annihilation ?!
How can asankhata not dependence on anything , being known by the mind ?
If the mind can knows it , this means they are somehow in connection or in relation .

can u be aware and expeirence things because of functioning of these aggregates? if aggregates dont fuction or dont arise, will there be experience? if no, it is unconditioned. only when there is experience, there is movement of mind depending on arising and cessation of expeirence.

The Buddha's 1st words were his mind attained the unconditioned. Then he lived for another 45 years of consciousness experience.

153. Through many a birth in samsara have I wandered in vain, seeking the builder of this house. Repeated birth is indeed suffering!

154. O house-builder, you are seen! You will not build this house again. For your rafters are broken and your ridgepole shattered. My mind has reached the Unconditioned; I have attained the destruction of craving.

Just because there's a relationship doesn't mean dependency. Using that all famous Raft simile, when a person uses the raft (the Path and all its training methods) to get to the other shore, there's some relationship between the shore, the raft, the person, the water, etc. but that doesn't mean the "other shore" shares the exact same dependencies like the other entities.

Cessation of ignorance.

Cessation of cittasankhara's. The reasons you got these attainments at first place will end.

They understand:So evaṃ pajānāti:‘If I were to apply this equanimity, so pure and bright, to the dimension of infinite space, my mind would develop accordingly.‘imañce ahaṃ upekkhaṃ evaṃ parisuddhaṃ evaṃ pariyodātaṃ ākāsānañcāyatanaṃ upasaṃhareyyaṃ, tadanudhammañca cittaṃ bhāveyyaṃ;
But that is conditioned.saṅkhatametaṃ.
If I were to apply this equanimity, so pure and bright, to the dimension of infinite consciousness …Imañce ahaṃ upekkhaṃ evaṃ parisuddhaṃ evaṃ pariyodātaṃ viññāṇañcāyatanaṃ upasaṃhareyyaṃ, tadanudhammañca cittaṃ bhāveyyaṃ;saṅkhatametaṃ.nothingness …Imañce ahaṃ upekkhaṃ evaṃ parisuddhaṃ evaṃ pariyodātaṃ ākiñcaññāyatanaṃ upasaṃhareyyaṃ, tadanudhammañca cittaṃ bhāveyyaṃ;saṅkhatametaṃ.

neither perception nor non-perception, my mind would develop accordingly.Imañce ahaṃ upekkhaṃ evaṃ parisuddhaṃ evaṃ pariyodātaṃ nevasaññānāsaññāyatanaṃ upasaṃhareyyaṃ, tadanudhammañca cittaṃ bhāveyyaṃ;
But that is conditioned.’saṅkhatametan’ti.

They neither make a choice nor form an intention to continue existence or to end existence.So neva taṃ abhisaṅkharoti, na abhisañcetayati bhavāya vā vibhavāya vā.
Because of this, they don’t grasp at anything in the world.So anabhisaṅkharonto anabhisañcetayanto bhavāya vā vibhavāya vā na kiñci loke upādiyati,Not grasping, they’re not anxious. Not being anxious, they personally become extinguished.anupādiyaṃ na paritassati, aparitassaṃ paccattaṃyeva parinibbāyati.

They understand: ‘Rebirth is ended, the spiritual journey has been completed, what had to be done has been done, there is no return to any state of existence.’‘Khīṇā jāti, vusitaṃ brahmacariyaṃ, kataṃ karaṇīyaṃ, nāparaṃ itthattāyā’ti pajānāti.

thus extinction is the ultimate wisdom - non-ignorance(unshakeable), while these attainments are not.

In their ignorance, they used to acquire attachments.Tasseva kho pana pubbe aviddasuno upadhī honti samattā samādinnā.
Those have been cut off at the root, made like a palm stump, obliterated so they are unable to arise in the future.Tyāssa pahīnā honti ucchinnamūlā tālāvatthukatā anabhāvaṅkatā āyatiṃ anuppādadhammā.

The birth of beings in the various orders of beings, their coming to birth, precipitation in a womb, generation, manifestation of the aggregates, obtaining the bases for contact—this is called birth.

Nice quotes, thank you.

There's a bit of an issue with "They understand: ...(and what follows)" but hey, that's sutta!

In their ignorance, they used to acquire attachments.Tasseva kho pana pubbe aviddasuno upadhī honti samattā samādinnā.
Those have been cut off at the root, made like a palm stump, obliterated so they are unable to arise in the future.Tyāssa pahīnā honti ucchinnamūlā tālāvatthukatā anabhāvaṅkatā āyatiṃ anuppādadhammā.

Great.

And what is the Unbinding property with no fuel remaining? There is the case where a monk is an arahant whose fermentations have ended, who has reached fulfillment, finished the task, laid down the burden, attained the true goal, ended the fetter of becoming, and is released through right gnosis.

For him, all that is sensed, being unrelished, will grow cold right here.

This is termed the Unbinding property with no fuel remaining.

Yā tesaṃ tesaṃ sattānaṃ tamhi tamhi sattanikāye jāti sañjāti okkanti abhinibbatti khandhānaṃ pātubhāvo āyatanānaṃ paṭilābho

Where does the Pali say "precipitation in a womb"?

...thoughts are impermanent, perishing, and changing.

dhammā aniccā vipariṇāmino aññathābhāvino.

Someone who has faith and confidence in these principles is called a follower by faith. They’ve arrived at inevitability regarding the right path, they’ve arrived at the level of the good person, and they’ve transcended the level of the bad person.

Yo, bhikkhave, ime dhamme evaṃ saddahati adhimuccati, ayaṃ vuccati saddhānusārī, okkanto sammattaniyāmaṃ, sappurisabhūmiṃ okkanto, vītivatto puthujjanabhūmiṃ;

With regards to final nibbana:

True, if you believe in existence and therefore by convention.
The same event viewed through different lenses.

Bhavatanha : 'craving for (eternal) existence'
https://www.wisdomlib.org/definition/bhavatanha

What? Do you assume a 'living being,' Mara?
Do you take a position?
This is purely a pile of fabrications.
Here no living being
can be pinned down.

Just as when, with an assemblage of parts,
there's the word,
chariot,
even so when aggregates are present,
there's the convention of
living being.

For only stress is what comes to be;
stress, what remains & falls away.
Nothing but stress comes to be.
Nothing ceases but stress.

Nirvana is not annihilation. It in fact is the ending of Tanha, or one may call it annihilation of Tanha too. Nir vana literally means no desires.
When desires or Tanha ends there is no condition of perceptions ( vingnana) to cling on to the next Bhava, or existence with elements ( dhathu) of Kama.
Perhaps may I bring in here that with Nirvana a state of mind, where energies that goes on in samsara stops its reactions in the universe and settles as a conservation of energy, without an annihilation, probably in disagreement with masters of orthodox.
