Nirvana (salvation) in the Buddhist faith marks the death of Buddha.
When the Buddha was more than 80 years old, he was invited to have dinner with a friend named Cunda. Cunda prepared mushrooms, the Buddha's favorite food. But, unknowingly, he prepared some which were poisonous. Soon the Buddha realized he was dying.
One his deathbed, the Buddha summoned his followers, determined to ease Cunda's anguish and guilt.
"In all my lifetime, two meals stand out supreme: one was the meal that I ate before I sat under the Bo tree, after which I received enlightenment,” the Buddha began. “The other, tonight, at the home of my dear friend, Cunda, after which I shall receive Nirvana."
Upon saying this, the Buddha breathed his last and passed away.
