The Buddha’s Words of Wisdom
In what way could one say: “The recluse Gotama is an annihilationist, he teaches the doctrine of annihilation”, and be speaking correctly? I teach the annihilation of greed, hatred and delusion. I proclaim the annihilation of evil unskilled states. It is in this way that one could say: “The recluse Gotama is an annihilationist, he teaches the doctrine of annihilation”, and be speaking correctly.
