Below is a summary of the last words of the Buddha. In fact, the Buddha had been ill for three months and had begun to instruct his closest disciple, Ananda. Buddha told A-Nan-Da to gather disciples to hear and pre-announcement of his death. 



At that time the Buddha was 80 years old. In the last few months, the Buddha was exhausted and exhausted, but still preaching as usual, though he could no longer go far. A-Nan-Da Buddha to heal the remaining days, but he went away and taught that:
"Our body is less healthy, but our compassion, our wisdom is no less. I was in that day is not a day in vain. 
In a forest next to the town of Kusinagara, now a small town called Kasia, 50 kilometers east of Gorakhpur, and 150 kilometers north- north-east of Varanasi (Bénarès), the Buddha lies between the two saharas.
He folded his robe to four, then lay to his right, his head to the north, his face to the west, his legs straightened, his feet to the other. Then the Buddha addressed the last words to the disciples to repeat once more the importance of the Dharma. Reminds the disciples to understand that their teacher is not a character, even if it is the Buddha, their true teacher is the Dharma. The Buddha said and addressed the disciples sitting around him like this: 
"Be ye disciples, torch yourselves to enlighten you, rely on your own strength, not depends on anyone. My teachings will make the torch guide you, your refuge, no need to depend on other teachings. "
"Look at your body, you will see how unclean it is. When you understand that the pleasure and pain of the body is only the common source of suffering, when you understand that, you will not be able to let go of your lust. " 
"Look at your mind, you will see that mind is constantly changing. So you will not be able to let yourself fall into the hallucinations of the mind, and then maintain the pride and selfishness of the mind, especially when you have understood that most emotions. It only brings suffering. "
"Look at all the objects around to see whether any object exists or not? Are there any objects that are not born beings? All will be broken, disintegrated and dispersed. Do not be afraid to see suffering everywhere, follow my teachings, even after I have passed away. So you will get rid of suffering. Indeed, as you follow my teachings, you will definitely become my true disciples. " 
"My disciples, the teachings I preach to you, never forget, never let go. These teachings must be preserved, researched and practiced. If you follow these instructions, you will be happy. "
"What is most important in our teachings is that you must control your mind. Get rid of all cravings and keep your body upright, pure mind and true language. If you remind yourself that your life is just temporary, you will be able to eliminate all the hunger and aggression that leads to suffering. " 
"If you realize that your mind is tending to cling to or stingy on desire, you must immediately set aside your desire and stop the temptation. You must master your mind. 
The mind is capable of turning a human into a Buddha or an animal. When we fall into confusion, we can become devils, but when Enlightenment we will become a Buddha. Therefore, you must control your mind and not stray out of the Path. "
"To be able to keep up with my teaching, respect one another and do not argue. Do not imitate water with oil pushing each other; Imitate water with milk, can be completely mixed together. 
Let's study together, explain together, practice together. Do not waste your minds and your time in arguments or lazy. Please enjoy the flowers of Enlightenment at the time of flowering and picking the sweet fruit on the Straight Road. "
"The teachings I give you are due to my own experience, and I have followed that path. You should obey these teachings and keep it that way, even in the face of difficult circumstances. If you are distracted, it means that you have never met me, you are really somewhere far away, even though you are sitting next to me now. But if, on the contrary, you accept and practice our teachings, even if you are far away in the end of the world, just as you are with us in the now ".
"My disciples, my last minutes are near, the distance is between me and you are not far away. But you should not mourn. Life is a constant change and nothing can stop the disintegration of the body. The fact is, I am demonstrating to you that on our body, our body will disintegrate like a wagon. Do not mourn in vain, on the contrary you must rejoice when you realize that transformation law and understand that human life is just empty. Do not try to maintain an irrational desire, want what is temporary must be permanent.
"The demon of secular desires always seeks to mislead your mind. If there is a poisonous snake in the room, you will not be able to sleep peacefully unless you chase it out. You must cut off the bonds of secular lust and get rid of those secrets as you kicked the poisonous snake out of the room. You must carefully guard your mind. "
"My disciples, my last moments have come, but you must understand that death is only the disintegration of the physical body. The body is born of a parent, it grows from food, it has no way to avoid illness and death. A true Buddha does not carry the human body, but only the Enlightenment. Only Enlightenment. The human body must be dissipated, but the Wisdom of Enlightenment will last forever in the realm of Dharma, on the path of Dharma practice. If anyone sees my body, he does not see me really. Only those who accept my teachings really see me. "
"After I passed away, Dharma replaced me as my teacher. Knowing the Dharma, that is how you show your loyalty to us. In the last forty-five years of my life, there is no hiding in the teachings. There is no secret teaching, without a single word. All our teachings are honest and transparent. " 
"My dear children, this is the moment of the end. In another moment we will enter into Nirvana. These words are my last words to you.
