I believe that the last words of the Buddha were something like this. "Decay
is inherent in all compounded things. Work out your own salvation with
diligence".
Your analogy of Pi, shows that Pi is not a compounded thing, but is One...
argh.. now comes the Platonist stuff ... ;-}

not a Buddhist, even though, like many others, I do have respect for many
