Good is virtue until life's end,
good is faith that is steadfast,
good is the acquisition of wisdom, and
good is the avoidance of evil.

Neither Percipient nor Non-percipient After-death ―
There are, monks, some contemplatives & brahmans who are adherents of a neither percipient nor non-percipient after-death, who proclaim a neither percipient nor non-percipient self after death on eight grounds. And with reference to what, coming from what, are these honorable contemplatives & brahmans adherents of a neither percipient nor non-percipient after-death who proclaim a neither percipient nor non-percipient self after death on eight grounds? ―They proclaim that the self after death is undiseased, neither percipient nor non-percipient, &:
43. possessed of form,
44. formless,
45. possessed of form & formless,
46. neither possessed of form nor formless,
47. finite,
48. infinite,
49. both finite & infinite,
50. neither finite nor infinite.
―These, are the contemplatives & brahmans who are adherents of a neither percipient nor non-percipient after-death, who proclaim a neither percipient nor non-percipient self after death on 8 grounds. And whatever contemplatives & brahmans who are adherents of a neither percipient nor non-percipient after-death, 💥 who proclaim a neither percipient nor non-percipient self after death, they all do so on one or another of these eight grounds. There is nothing outside of this. ―With regard to this, the Tathagata discerns that ‘These standpoints, thus seized, thus grasped at, lead to such & such a destination, to such & such a state in the world beyond.’ That the Tathagata discerns. And he discerns what is higher than that. And yet, discerning that, he does not grasp at it. And as he is not grasping at it, unbinding [nibbuti] is experienced right within. Knowing, as they have come to be, the origination, ending, allure, & drawbacks of feelings, along with the escape from feelings, the Tathagata, monks—through lack of clinging/sustenance—is released.― These, monks, are the dhammas—deep, hard to see, hard to realize, tranquil, refined, beyond the scope of conjecture, subtle, to-be-experienced by the wise—that the Tathagata proclaims, having directly known & realized them for himself, and that those who, rightly speaking in praise of the Tathagata in line with what is factual, would speak.

#Bahuna Sutta
Translated Thanissaro Bhikkhu
Unrestricted Awareness
Ven. Bahuna went to the Blessed One and, said : “Lord, freed, dissociated, and released from how many things does the Tathagata dwell with unrestricted awareness?”
“Freed, dissociated, and released from ten things, Bahuna, the Tathagata dwells with unrestricted awareness. Which ten? Freed, dissociated, and released from form, the Tathagata dwells with unrestricted awareness. Freed, dissociated, and released from feeling… Freed, dissociated, and released from perception… Freed, dissociated, and released from fabrications… Freed, dissociated, and released from consciousness… Freed, dissociated, and released from birth… Freed, dissociated, and released from aging… Freed, dissociated, and released from death… Freed, dissociated, and released from stress… Freed, dissociated, and released from defilement, the Tathagata dwells with unrestricted awareness.
“Just as a red, blue, or white lotus born in the water and growing in the water, rises up above the water and stands with no water adhering to it, in the same way the Tathagata — freed, dissociated, and released from these ten things — dwells with unrestricted awareness.”

The view-standpoint: ‘The Tathagata exists after death’—this craving-standpoint, this perception-standpoint, this product of conceiving, this product of elaboration, this clinging-standpoint: That’s anguish. ‘The Tathagata doesn’t exist after death’: That’s anguish. ‘The Tathagata both does and doesn’t exist after death’: That’s anguish. ‘The Tathagata neither does nor doesn’t exist after death’: That’s anguish. ― The uninstructed run-of-the-mill person doesn’t discern anguish, doesn’t discern the origination of anguish, doesn’t discern the cessation of anguish, doesn’t discern the path of practice leading to the cessation of anguish, and so for him that anguish grows. He is not freed from birth, aging, & death; from sorrows, lamentations, pains, distresses, & despairs. He is not freed, I tell you, from suffering & stress.💥 But the instructed disciple of the noble ones discerns anguish, discerns the origination of anguish, discerns the cessation of anguish, discerns the path of practice leading to the cessation of anguish, and so for him that anguish ceases. He is freed from birth, aging, & death; from sorrows, lamentations, pains, distresses, & despairs. He is freed, I tell you, from suffering & stress.― “Thus knowing, thus seeing, the instructed disciple of the noble ones doesn’t declare that ‘The Tathagata exists after death,’ doesn’t declare that ‘The Tathagata doesn’t exist after death,’ doesn’t declare that ‘The Tathagata both does and doesn’t after death,’ doesn’t declare that ‘The Tathagata neither does nor doesn’t exist after death.’ Thus knowing, thus seeing, he is thus of a nature not to declare the undeclared issues. Thus knowing, thus seeing, he isn’t paralyzed, doesn’t quake, doesn’t shiver or shake over the undeclared issues.”

By disregarding, material shape,
feeling and so on, he is passionless.
Through passionlessness, he is freed.
In freedom , the knowledge comes to be I am freed

Suttas aren't meant to tell us what to believe. One should read them, contemplate them, and investigate the present experience with them. Only then, can one insightfully know the truth beyond words

The #Suttas of the #Buddha #SaɱyuttaNikāya state :
#Consciousness that is #Permanent #Stable #Eternal
not subject to change: this the #Wise in the world
agree upon as not existing, and I too
say that it does not exist
