    I'm not expecting to be 'saved.' The Buddha said, "work out your own salvation with diligence."

    Disappear from what the Earth? I don't count that as a fear because everyone will die.

    Exactly. I'm not sure you read it correctly. I think they are along the same lines as the bhudda.

    We are using the word "disappear", and that doesn't really make sense, I won't just cease to exist, but I will die.

    You ARE your body. What you 'feel' as living is merely a group of constituent things that will all end. There is no 'my' awakening.

    "Shariputra, all dharmas are empty of characteristics. They are not produced. Not destroyed, not defiled, not pure, and they neither increase nor diminish. Therefore, in emptiness there is no form, feeling, cognition, formation, or consciousness; no eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body, or mind; no sights, sounds, smells, tastes, objects of touch, or dharmas; no field of the eyes, up to and including no field of mind-consciousness; and no ignorance or ending of ignorance, up to and including no old age and death or ending of old age and death. There is no suffering, no accumulating, no extinction, no way, and no understanding and no attaining." - Heart Sutra
