WORLD RELIGIONS

Detailed explanation-1: -In Buddhism, nirvana is the highest state that someone can attain, a state of enlightenment, meaning a person’s individual desires and suffering go away. The origin of the word nirvana relates to religious enlightenment; it comes from the Sanskrit meaning “extinction, disappearance” of the individual to the universal.

Detailed explanation-2: -The goal for the life of Buddhism is to reach nirvana. Nirvana is union with the universe and release from the cycle of rebirth. In order to reach this nirvana you must live with right views, right aspirations, right speech, right conduct, right livelihood, right effort, right mindfulness, and right contemplation.

Detailed explanation-3: -Those who achieve nirvana join God and merge their atman (pure self) in perfect communion with divine life. In this state, there is no ego or desire, and the atman is free from any kind of earthly manifestation, for it is one with eternal peace and perfection, also known as the state of yoga.

Detailed explanation-4: -The nirvana-in-life marks the life of a monk who has attained complete release from desire and suffering but still has a body, name and life. The nirvana-after-death, also called nirvana-without-substrate, is the complete cessation of everything, including consciousness and rebirth.
