In the Buddhist context, it was like this. The Buddha attained enlightenment. By doing so, he stopped the repeating cycle of birth. But a person who is not enlightened is not immune to reincarnation after death. Therefore, one can always assign a location and a time period to that particular person. But unlike that person, there is not any living form of Buddha after his passing away. Therefore, nobody can assign a location and an occasion to him after his death. In other words, with his death, the Buddha has surpassed the two concepts called time and space. He’s traveled beyond it.
