He's refusing Parinirvana until he's helped all sentient beings. Or until the BBC cancels him.

I'm repeatedly moved by the Anthroposophical notion that Asita gets to see the unfolding of Cosmic Love as Simeon. It leads to another bit of wild speculation on my part. On the threshold of his Parinirvana, the Buddha was attended by his faithful friend Ānanda. Overcome with grief, Ānanda...

Well, since Vivek Ramaswamy claims to be a Hindu, he does not believe in Hell.

He believes in continuous cycles of rebirth until he achieves parinirvana upon his death by extinguishing craving, ignorance, and karmic fuel.

In #ViveckRamasamy's case, he will be a cockroach in his next life.

The Paranirvana of Buddha, Gal Vihara, Polonnaruva, Ceylon https://clevelandart.org/art/1976.156
The Buddha's death is called the parinirvana, which signals the moment when he moves into an eternal blissful state, free of any suffering or future rebirths. This state, known as nirvana, is the ultimate goal for followers of Buddhism.<br><br>During the 8th century, a colossal depiction of the Buddha's parinirvana was the focus of worship at a monastic establishment on the island of Sri Lanka off the southeastern coast of India. By the 19th century, the site had fallen into ruins, and commercial photographer Joseph Lawton was selected by the British Archaeological Committee in Kandy, Sri Lanka, to document the site. Lawton's intentional inclusion of a Sri Lankan figure in a posture of adoration and a colonial Englishman clambering over the ruins provides a sense of the sculpture's impressive scale.

Ontem, a monja Ani Zamba Chozom entrou em parinirvana. que morou muitos anos no NE e em MG. Lamento não ter tido mais chances de estar com ela. O único ensinamento a que tive a felicidade de assistir deixou uma marca permanente. Descanse em paz, Ani-la.

What is Rainbow Body? 🌈

Note: While Dzogchen is the "fast track" to enlightenment, it acts as a double-edged sword: the higher the view, the deeper the fall if the foundational practices are ignored.
Recently, a Tibetan Dzogchen Buddhist meditation master achieved the Rainbow Body. A day before his departure, he told his students: "Now it is time for me to leave this existence. Thank you for all your kindness, and I ask for forgiveness if I ever spoke harsh words to any of you." The next morning, he asked one of his students to bring his yellow robe (monastic clothing worn during meditation and rituals). Putting it on, he sat in the meditation posture and peacefully entered parinirvana. His remains (physical body) are becoming smaller and smaller with each day. In the past, in the Tibetan Buddhist tradition, there were many meditation masters who achieved the Rainbow Body. Rainbow Body (Tib. འཇའ་ལུས་, 'ja' lus) — a state that fully realized Dzogchen practitioners can achieve. At the moment of death, their body dissolves. Through the practice of trekcho (khregs chod), a practitioner can achieve the so-called "rainbow body," in which the physical body gradually shrinks and dissolves, emitting rainbow light, until only hair and nails remain at the end. Through the practice of thod rgal (thod rgal), a practitioner can dissolve their body into the "Body of Light" (Tib. འོད་སྐུ་, ö ku), when the body completely turns into light and disappears into space.

His Holiness will live at least another 2 decades, as prophesied by oracle, to continue serving millions of his devotees & humanity. His journey will not end, as he will reincarnate after he passes into parinirvana & will return as spiritual leader for benefit of all sentient beings. Long live HHDL🙏
