[Buddha-l] Going, going, gone.

[Erik Hoogcarspel]

Hi Jayarava
I do not have the text at hand, but I remember that I interpreted one as 
referring to the act of going from the point of view of the goer and the 
other from the point of view of a bystander. One is an act the other a 
perception.
I hope the helps.

Erik
