It is written in the Second Chronicle of Ascariadius that after many years of searching, Notire Basura at last found the MahaKahuna sitting zazen before a woodcutter's hut on a mountainside overlooking the sea. The vissage of the MahaKahuna was aglow with great bliss; and he was softly chanting "om mani padme hum" with his gaze fixed on the distant sea. The MahaKahuna gave no sign of recognition as Notire approached. 

After some moments, Notire asked, "Do you not remember me, your humble chela on whom you conferred initiation so many years ago? I have come to pay you homage." 

The woodcutter, of ancient visage and unkempt beard, addressed Notire, saying, "He will not answer you. Each morning I bring him a bowl of rice and a jug of goat's milk and tell him my name, which is Iishi; and I recite the "om mani padme hum"  for his chant to begin. He chants happily until sunset, when I lead him to his pallet in the hut. Each day of our lives proceeds thus, He in his Nirvana, I in my woodcutting labors which enable me to obtain rice and goat's milk." 

"For what period of time has He suffered thus?" Notire asked. 

"He does not  suffer", the woodcutter Iishi replied. "The MahaKahuna has been totally enlightened and spends his days in the bliss of his Nirvana. He has no regrets, for he remembers nothing; he has no fears, for he apprehends no future. He lives entirely in the eternal present, of which he is totally aware. His life is an inspiration and a blessing, which I may one day emulate if that is to be the reward of my karma". 

It is noted in the Chronicle of Ascaridius that Notire Basura was greatly enlightened.
