What’s mean Nirvana?
In Buddhism, it means the ultimate goal of eternal peace, supreme joy, and a world of comfort. Originally, it means that the wind blows out the flames, and refers to the state in which the flames of anxiety and attachment, which are self-centered desires, have been extinguished.
A transcription of nibbāna in Pali, called nirvāa in Sanskrit. The original word means “(flame) has disappeared and perished (state)”, which means that the burning fire of worldly desires has been extinguished by enlightenment, just as the wind blows out the flame, and all suffering has disappeared. At that time, the quietest state of comfort is realized.
Therefore, it is also translated as “eternal peace,” “perfect peace,” and “absolute peace.” Buddha learned this and preached it to people, and Jainism, which flourished at the same time as Buddhism, used this word with the same meaning.
With the development of Buddhism, a kind of analysis has been added to Nirvana, and no matter how hard the practitioner strives, the reachable ground is incomplete Nirvana as long as he survives and maintains his body in this world. It was thought that it was a complete nirvana only after death. In Mahayana Buddhism, the idea that a special situation called Nirvana actually exists was excluded, and Nirvana itself was empty, neither possessive nor nonexistent, and we aimed to realize it in our daily lives.
