high-definition creative commons photographs about The Visit of the Divinities together with further information.

The Buddha informs Ānanda that countless divinities from ten world-systems have gathered to witness his final passing. He notes that while some deities are weeping and tearing their hair in grief, those who are free from passion remain composed, reflecting on the truth that all conditioned things are impermanent. This chapter contrasts worldly sorrow with the equanimity of the awakened, emphasizing the core teaching on the inevitability of change and death.
