In all fairness, I never ever said or thought of parinibbana as a place; I did not make any such suggestion. Anyway back to the point:
I might ask: how does parinibbana differ to ‘standard death’ (lol …never thought I would use such a term). You will say that in standard death a person is reborn. Then I would ask: what is it that is reborn? I have started a new topic with that very question and I look forward to your contribution.
Also, it seems to me that rebirth is not compatible with western science and physicalism. But go over to my new topic and prove me wrong please.
