the two chief male disiples of Buddha were Sariputta and Maudgalyayana

when sariputta died , Sariputta's assistant, Cunda, gave the news to Ananda, Ananda was very distressed. He passed the news along to the Buddha, who remained at peace, and chastised Ananda's reaction

Buddha said -But, Ananda, haven't I already taught you the state of growing indifferent with regard to all things dear & appealing, the state of becoming separate, the state of becoming otherwise? What else is there to expect? It's impossible that one could forbid anything born, existent, fabricated, & subject to disintegration from disintegrating

this is enlightenment

a state devoid of everything you cherish as a human , no anger , no lust , no love and no compassion , a total state of nothingess

an absolute state , nothing more and nothing less
