well, it was mentioned, He's 'entering into retreat', bi guan.
or retiring from public dharma talks. and i believe that said, once
a master announce that, it also mean He had attained enlightenment,
wu dao! i kind of sense so.
but the bi guan He's going into is not like entering in to a cave
or something, but just retiring from public dharma talks. He'll
still be living in the Monestary with the disciples. maybe even
predicted one more year from parinirvana. learn as much from
Him.
