Hi,
How do you “decode” the following :
I – M 140 Dhatu-vibhanga Sutta
“Furthermore, a sage at peace is not born, does not age,
does not die, is unagitated, and is free from longing. He has
nothing whereby he would be born. Not being born, will he
age? Not aging, will he die? Not dying, will he be agitated?…..”Does not die ?

Please provide a link to the sutta when you quote a sutta.
If possible provide a link to the Pali version too.
That will make it easier for others to take a look at the sutta and comment on the question.
How to provide a link is described step-by-step here:

The sutta that @Yeos is referring is MN 140 Dhatu-vibhanga Sutta: The Analysis of the Elements.
The portion he refers to is as below:
The sage at peace is not reborn, does not grow old, and does not die. They are not shaken, and do not yearn.
Muni kho pana, bhikkhu, santo na jāyati, na jīyati, na mīyati, na kuppati, na piheti.For they have nothing which would cause them to be reborn. Not being reborn, how could they grow old? Not growing old, how could they die? Not dying, how could they be shaken? Not shaking, for what could they yearn?
Tañhissa, bhikkhu, natthi yena jāyetha, ajāyamāno kiṃ jīyissati, ajīyamāno kiṃ mīyissati, amīyamāno kiṃ kuppissati, akuppamāno kissa pihessati? -

@Lal,
Approximately page 99 of the PDF “A Taste of Salt draws 350 pages containing the central teachings of the Buddha from the roughly 5,000 pages of the Sutta Piṭaka”.
Am I doing this correctly ? Hope so.
