By the power of this gross kamma within the subtle Rupa of the five senses, they coalesced, spinning together into a "ball of atoms" persisting as Rupa by ceaselessly orbiting itself. It is the "cave" inside which the citta resides and is called "Rupa-Vinnana" or copied form. This is because it is copied by Nama through the eyes, ears, nose, tongue and body and becomes subtle Rupa latent within the void. Rupa-Vinnana which has life span, remains longer than gross Rupa and has gross kamma to keep it spinning and persisting. There is no god who can destroy this, only Nibbana can, Rupa-Vinnana would then disappear.
That which performs the kamma of beings and lies within the subtle Rupa and is aided by the eyes, ears, nose, tongue and body, is called "Citta" and in the citta”s place of work are the five consciousness (i.e., of eye, ear, etc.,). These five senses together are the central work place for the "Central Citta" which is in contact with the outside world by way of these five senses. Citta and consciousness (Vinnana) are therefore not identical. Citta is "the one who knows". Consciousness is that which is the "cave " of the citta and the vehicle that leads it to rebirth or wherever it may go. It is the thing that maintains the citta. The subtle Rupa, the Rupa that is copied from the gross Rupa, has form of male and female, eyes, ears, nose, tongue and body and lies within the rebirth causing consciousness.
When beings die the gross Rupa of the body goes according to its age limit and species. The real life, the "Atomic Rupa-Vinnana" (Rupa-Paramanu-Vinnana) will not die and disappear, it will be reborn into various worlds according to causes and conditions of the cycle of continued existence (Vattha) that changes and spins endlessly.
Real life, "copied Rupa", or consciousness (Vinnana) which orbits around itself, is the cause of the citta being reborn, ceasing and continuing. The citta will receive external and internal contacts and collect both good and evil as the basis for future births and deaths or embellishments until gross kamma, the cause, is ended. Real life, "copied rupa" or "Vinnana" will then stop spinning. Subtle Rupa, Rupa-Vinnana, that arises from gross kamma and from ones beginnings will disappear and dissipate as well as the gross Rupa which cannot remain and will disappear.
As to the good kamma and the Dhamma that are attached to Vinnana, this scatters with the atomic rupa and nothing but the void remains which is but the space between the rupa of the atoms. Free of the rupa of atoms, that emptiness is pure and bright. Purity and light, light and purity or the original universe, this is called "Nibbana".
THE LAST DUST, THE FINAL PASSING.
When the Lord Sammasambuddha had established the teaching (Sasana) and had developed it into a complete way of life as he had wished, he then abandoned that last wish not to attain (Vibhavatanha) final Nibbana and entered Nibbana without remainder (Anupadisesanibbana) becoming one completely without desire. He abandoned all by way of Anupadisesanibbana of a Buddha. The first stage was to enter meditative absorption (Jhana) progressively to the level of "cessation of perception and feeling" (Sannavedayitanirodha) beyond the formless Jhana (Arupa Jhana).
At the start he did not completely abandon the various aggregates of being (Khandhas), he merely started the sequence of causes that would lead to final Nibbana or Nirodha (Cessation), the last act of his life. Speaking plainly he entered that state which he himself first created and left as a sign of the Way and as an example for the last time. This can be called the Lord”s "dust" of dukkha. This dust is not evident as dukkha to w…
