Detailed explanation-1: -The ultimate goal of Theravada Buddhism is to attain Nirvana at the end of the cycle of their lives. This is also the immediate goal of Theravada Buddhist monks, who are the only individuals in Theravada Buddhism who can achieve that state directly after this life.
Detailed explanation-2: -In Theravada Buddhism, nirvana comes in two parts. In the first part, a person becomes enlightened as the Buddha was enlightened when he was 35 years old. The enlightened person extinguishes the flames of greed and hatred at this time and no longer lives in a state of delusion about the universe.
Detailed explanation-3: -Theravada Buddhism is older and the more conservative of the two main divisions of Buddhism and is often referred to as the ‘traditions of the elders’. Many Theravada Buddhists follow the teachings of the Buddha exactly, and many of them are monks or nuns.
