| | Buddhism in a Nutshell - Nibbana |
 | | Nibbana of the Buddhists is neither a mere nothingness nor a state of annihilation, but what it is no words can adequately express. | | | Nibbana is a Dhamma which is "unborn, unoriginated, uncreated and unformed." Hence, it is eternal (dhuva), desirable ( subha), and happy ( sukha). | | | Nibbana is not situated in any place nor is it a sort of heaven where a transcendental ego resides. |

| | This very word Nibbana or Nirvana is a primal word in Buddhism. | | | According to Buddhism we all are bound to Samsara with ten fetters (dasa samyojana). | | | Salvation or Nibbana in Buddhism is something ineffable. Finally may I quote from a versatile and erudite missionary monk of Sri Lanka, Ven. |

| | What is Nibbana? |
| | Nibbana - the absence of suffering - then, as the Buddha said, is the absence of greed, hate and delusion. | | | The Buddha said that Nibbana is the destruction of greed, hate and delusion. | | | When the Buddha was questioned as to the nature of Nibbana by those who had not attained enlightenment, He was perplexed. |

| | There is the Shwegyin school which holds that Nibbana is spiritual mind, while the Okpo school advances the view that it is unique mind and body. | | | The Buddha told us that when he was that universal monarch he built mansions and invited the previous Buddhas and Arahants from Nibbana and that their doubles (nimmita-rupas) came. | | | Nibbanam.) In the Sagathavagga Samyutta the Brahma who has attained Nibbana is described as a nirupadhi. |

| | Nibbana |
| | Certainly, a statement by the Buddha that nibbana is attá or that it is anattá is nowhere to be found it the Suttas. | | | The second discourse of the Buddha to the first five monks, the Anattalakkhana Sutta (Khandha Samyutta 59), is one of the better-known Suttas, and no-one now disputes that the Buddha categorically denied the existence of attá, self or soul, in the five aggregates. | | | Whatever the significance of sabbe dhammá anattá (a matter that will be discussed later), it is clear that an affirmative answer to the question 'Does self exist?' would not have been in accordance with the Buddha's knowledge. |

| | Spirit: Buddha's Teaching |
| | The movement from Samsara to Nibbana is not framed as a quest for the “True Self” ( 7, 8), or as a search for “God” or the “Non-Dual” ( 9). | | | According to Buddha, the condition of most human beings is “Samsara” ( 1), whereas he pointed to what is rarely achieved, but possible -- “Nibbana”; [Nirvana] ( 2, 3, 4, 5, 6). | | | A detailed, contextual answer to the question whether Buddha's teaching is a religion or a philosophy can be found here. |

| | What Buddhists Believe - Nibbana |
| | A well-known Mahayana Buddhist scholar, Nagarjuna, says that Samsara and Nibbana are one. | | | Several centuries after the Buddha, some of the Buddhist sects began to introduce Nibbana as a paradise. | | | This might be a very comfortable folktale, but it is not the Nibbana that the Buddha experienced and introduced. |

| |
| | Nibbana for Everyone |
| | The highest degree of realization in Buddhism, according to the Buddha, is the end of lust, the end of hatred, and the end of delusion, which is the final quenching of all fires and the coolest coolness that life can be. | | | The genuine kind of Nibbana, different from the Nibbana of other sects, was discovered by the Buddha. | | | (4) The point here is that the theme of Nibbana was the highest concern of the Indian religions contemporary with Buddhism. |

| | There are no other places (according to them) where Nibbana is referred to as consciousness: These lines (which also appear as part of a full verse at DN11.85/i.223) have been a perennial challenge to Buddhist scholarship, and even Acariya Buddhaghosa seems to founder over them. | | | Hence, the difference in your understandings and the theravadan system both in the meanings of the words, and the meanings of the teachings (as I understand it, obviously, since I cannot be said to represent the Buddha!). | | | To say that 'I' am composed of Nibbana would not be correct either, as this would entail self-identity view. |

| | Selected discourses of Webu Sayadaw |
| | Whatever is conducive to the attainment of Nibbana is kusala (skilful), whatever is a hindrance to the attainment of Nibbana is akusala (unskilful). | | | But it is not only during the lifetime of the Buddha that beings can attain Nibbana; Nibbana can be attained as long as the teachings of the Buddha are available. | | | Nibbana is the highest and noblest form of happiness there is. It is said that one can never experience enough of the highest and noblest form of happiness. |

| | HAPPINESS, UNHAPPINESS AND NIBBANA |
| | This is the Buddhist way to enlightenment: going towards Nibbana, inclining towards the spaciousness or emptiness of mind rather than being born and caught up in the conditions. | | | We incline towards the peace of Nibbana and away from the complexities of the sensual realm, the endless cycles of habit. | | | Now you may ask, ‘Well if I’m not the conditions of mind, if I’m not a man or a woman, this or that, then what am I?, Do you want me to tell you who you are? |

| | Nibbana |
| | While some Buddhist interpret nibbana in a similar manner as Hindus, that is, "dying out" or "extinction" (as of a fire), others find in it an archaic meaning of "he who is cooled,) such as cooled from the fever of greed, hatred, and delusion, the three principle evils of Buddhist thought. | | | However, while nibbana does not mean extinction, neither does it mean that after death the individual exists in some manner or other. | | | In the third century BC, the Milindapanha states that the Buddha still exists but "has passed completely away in nibbana, so nothing is left which could lead to the formation of another being. |

| | First Published in //Buddhism as a way of life and other essays//, Sayagyi U Ba Khin Memor |
| | When a bhikkhu asked the Buddha the meaning of the terms "the removal of lust," "the removal of greed," "the removal of delusion," the Buddha replied that these mean the element of Nibbana (//Nibbana-dhatu//) and that they indicate the waning of the taints (//asavanam khayo//).[12] The commentary says the Buddha is speaking here of Arahatship. | | | The link between this conditioned world and the realm of Nibbana is through the mind. | | | From these discourses we can see that if the soliciting of //Nibbana-dhatu// is to be effective, the person who is doing so should be one who practises the Buddha's Teachings. |

| | Selected discourses of Webu Sayadaw |
| | To attain the pure state of Nibbana, the end of all suffering in conditioned existence, an individual has to free himself of the ten fetters that tie him to conditioned existence. | | | It stands up to investigation and is in accordance with the teachings of the Buddha as conserved in the scriptures. | | | The study of the scriptures, though helpful, is not essential for the realization of Nibbana, the summum bonum of Buddhism. |

| | Mahasi - Malukyaputta Sutta 01 |
| | Old writers usually render the word, //pahitatto//, as "with a mind despatched to Nibbana." Taking it in its literal sense, some would like to put forward the proposition that there is no need for a yogi to practise the dhamma once he has despatched his mind to the concept of Nibbana. | | | Nibbana, therefore, remains far away from him who would carry the load of suffering rather than meditate. | | | So he is said to be enjoying //tadanga nibbana// -- peaceful bliss attained at the instant when pollution of the mind is eliminated. |

| | IN THE PRESENCE OF NIBBANA |
| | Out of faith in the Lord Buddha one’s job and duty is to use that conceptual mind where it is appropriate, and drop it where it has no place, where it does not reach, and where it does not belong. | | | Right now, those who are Buddhist monks and nuns and those who are serious lay practitioners are in the vicinity of Nibbana. | | | It is as true for jhana and insight as it is for Nibbana itself. |

| | Zolag-nibbana |
| | It is difficult to understand what nibbana, is. Nibbana (more popularly known in its Sanskrit form of nirvana) is not a place such as heaven or a paradise where one enjoys eternal bliss. | | | The Buddha experienced at his enlightenment the unconditioned reality which is nibbana. | | | We read in the Kindred Sayings (IV, Kindred Sayings on Sense, Part IV, Chapter 38, 1, Nibbana) that the wanderer Rose-apple-eater came to see the Buddhas disciple Sariputta and asked him what nibbana was. |

| | The Buddhist notion of Nirvana or Nibbana |
| | So when we first learn that the name for the goal of Buddhist practice, nibbana (nirvana), literally means the extinguishing of a fire, it's hard to imagine a deadlier image for a spiritual goal: utter annihilation. | | | However, when teaching his own disciples, the Buddha used nibbana more as an image of freedom. | | | The Pali commentaries support this point by tracing the word nibbana to its verbal root, which means "unbinding." What kind of unbinding? |

| | The Dhammapada: Verses and Stories |
| | It is true that Nibbana is called "Amata" as there is no ageing (old age) and death because there is no birth." | | | Those who are mindful do not die; those who are not mindful are as if already dead. |

| | Nibbana |
| | Nibbana names the transcendent and singularly ineffable freedom that stands as the final goal of all the Buddha's teachings. | | | Then the Blessed One, picking up a little bit of dust with the tip of his fingernail, said to the monks, "What do you think, monks? | | | And when a sage, a brahman through sagacity, has known [this] for himself, then from form and formless, from bliss and pain, he is freed. |

| | The etymological origin of the word Nibbana is derived from the word nirvana, which means "freedom from external reality ;heaven, bliss". | | | Known as the only family in the world celebrating Nibbana as a last name, the family name was adopted in 1993 as the founder Charles D. Nibbana sought an existence separate from that of his natural father. | | | The word held such significance and meaning for Charles that it was an obvious choice for a new family name. |
