Note 2 — THE DIAMOND SUTRA
William Gemmell translation
“In fulness of the times—it fell
The Buddha died, the great Tathagata,
Even as a man ’mongst men, fulfilling all:
And how a thousand thousand lakhs since then
Have trod the Path which leads whither he went
Unto Nirvana, where the Silence lives.”
—The Light of Asia. Sir Edwin Arnold.
