"I understood clearly that nothing dies. Citta certainly doesn't die; in fact, it becomes more pronounced. The more fully we investigate the four elements, dividing them into their original properties, the more distinctly pronounced citta appears. So where can death be found? And what is it that dies? The four elements - earth, water, wind and fire - they do not die. As for citta, how can it die? It becomes more visible, more aware and more insightful. This essential knowing nature never dies, so why is citta so afraid of death? Because it deceives itself. For ages and ages it has been deceiving itself into believing in death, when in fact nothing ever dies." Ācariya Mahā Boowa Ñāṇasampanno Thera
