Best Answer

The mortal body is usually the source of desire, which is the source of suffering. Those wishing to escape the illusionary world of Samsara to experience nirvana have to rid themselves of desire and ego. Those enlightened Buddhists who die are, therefore, not sad because they are shedding their mortal form. This means they shed their mortal coil and experience complete nirvana.
