Ultimate however, “there is only a succession of mental and physical phenomena arising and dissolving.” For this reason, Mahasi Sayadaw holds that although for an arahant “cessation means the extinction of the successive rise and fall of the aggregates” this is not the view of annihilation (uccheda-diṭṭhi) since there is ultimately no individual to be annihilated. The Buddha enlightened his followers with the wisdom that he shared. "However many holy words you read, however many you speak, what good will they do you if you do not act upon them?"

"Believe nothing, no matter where you read it, or who said it, no matter if I have said it, unless it agrees with your own reason and your own common sense." A similar view is also defended by C. Lindtner, who argues that in precanonical Buddhism Nirvana is: … a place one can actually go to. An enlightened being enjoys a kind of provisional nirvana, or "nirvana with remainders." According to Gombrich, the number of three fires alludes to the three fires which a Brahmin had to keep alight, and thereby symbolise life in the world, as a family-man. Thus, these three separate goals are not really different at all, the ‘lesser’ paths are actually just clever teaching devices used by Buddhas to get people to practice, eventually though, they will be led to the one and only path of Mahāyāna and full Buddhahood. ~Buddha Enjoy the best Buddha Quotes at BrainyQuote. 71: Author Paul Swanson states that some contemporary Buddhism scholars have questioned the above etymologies and whether these are consistent with the core doctrines of Buddhism, particularly about anatman (non-self) and pratityasamutpada (causality).

The Theravada exegete Buddhaghosa says, in his Visuddhimagga: It is called nibbana (extinction) because it has gone away from (nikkhanta), has escaped from (nissata), is dissociated from, craving, which has acquired in common usage the name ‘fastening (vana)’ because, by ensuring successive becoming, craving serves as a joining together, a binding together, a lacing together, of the four kinds of generation, five destinies, seven stations of consciousness and nine abodes of being. For the Mahāsāmghikas, the historical Gautama Buddha was merely one of these transformation bodies (Skt. 3: "If with a pure mind a person speaks or acts happiness will follow him like his never-departing shadow." ~Buddha 35: ~Buddha What has no suffering is Nirvana.

Buddha Nirvana Quotes On. 83: ~Buddha The American Theravada monk Bhikkhu Bodhi has defended the traditional Theravada view which sees nirvana as “a reality transcendent to the entire world of mundane experience, a reality transcendent to all the realms of phenomenal existence.”, The Sri Lankan philosopher David Kalupahana has taken a different position, he argues that the Buddha’s “main philosophical insight” is the principle of causality (dependent origination) and that this “is operative in all spheres, including the highest state of spiritual development, namely, nirvana.” According to Kalupahana “later scholars attempted to distinguish two spheres, one in which causation prevailed and the other which is uncaused. These interpretations see nibbana as equivalent in some way with either a special kind of mind (pabhassara citta) or a special consciousness called anidassana viññāṇa, “non-manifest” consciousness which is said to be ‘luminous’. 37: ~Buddha ~Buddha "Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment." It is the Buddhist belief that all things, experiences and people are inherently empty. Some teachers of the Thai forest tradition, such as Ajahn Maha Bua taught an idea called “original mind” which when perfected is said to exist as a separate reality from the world and the aggregates. The title itself means a garbha (womb, matrix, seed) containing Tathagata (Buddha). Destiny is not something forced upon us that we cannot escape, but rather a path we create once we follow the intuitions of our souls. 66: Though the idea that Buddhas remain active in the world can be traced back to the Mahasamghika school, the term apratiṣṭhita-nirvana seems to be a Yogacara innovation. Lamotte writes of the Buddhas: They are born, reach enlightenment, set turning the Wheel of Dharma, and enter nirvana. By reason of this separation, then, there arises ‘the acquisition of disjunction’ (visamyogaprapti) that serves as an antidote (pratipaksa), which henceforward prevents the junction between the defilement and this series. Rune Johansson’s The Psychology of Nirvana also argued that nirvana could be seen as a transformed state of mind (citta). Nirvana also means “not covered”. However some later Yogacarins like Ratnakarasanti considered it “equivalent to naturally luminous mind, nondual self-awareness.”, The debate as to whether tathāgatagarbha was just a way to refer to emptiness or whether it referred to some kind of mind or consciousness also resumed in Chinese Buddhism, with some Chinese Yogacarins, like Fazang and Ratnamati supporting the idea that it was an eternal non-dual mind, while Chinese Madhyamikas like Jizang rejecting this view and seeing tathāgatagarbha as emptiness and “the middle way.”. Nirvana in Buddhism (निर्वाण, nirvāṇa, nibbana, nibbāna) is the earliest and most common term used to describe the goal of the Buddhist path. "No one saves us but ourselves. ~Buddha "When you dig a well, there’s no sign of water until you reach it, only rocks and dirt to move out of the way. Thereafter the monastic practice aims at eliminating the ten fetters that lead to rebirth. "If you do not change direction, you may end up where you are heading." From this perspective, the hinayana path only leads to one’s own liberation, either as sravaka (listener, hearer, or disciple) or as pratyekabuddha (solitary realizer). 24: Buddha Quotes. Jayatilleke writes that despite the definition of nirvana as ‘extinction’, this does not mean that it is a kind of annihilation or a state of dormant nonentity, for this contradicts the statements of the Buddha that reject this interpretation. Concentrate your thoughts on the present moment." His quotes on various subjects such as nirvana, fear and anger, our thoughts and mind, happiness, and compassion still serve us 2500 years later. So below, we’ve found 25 beautiful quotes from Zen masters that explain what letting go really entails. Brahmāli concludes that the “most reasonable interpretation” of final nibbāna is “no more than the cessation of the five khandhas.” Brahmāli also notes that there is a kind of samādhi that is attainable only by the awakened and is based on their knowledge of nibbana (but is not nibbana itself), this meditation is what is being referred to by terms such as non-manifest consciousness (anidassana viññāṇa) and unestablished consciousness (appatiṭṭhita viññāṇa). It refers both to the act and the effect of blowing (at something) to put it out, but also the process and outcome of burning out, becoming extinguished. "Praise and blame, gain and loss, pleasure and sorrow come and go like the wind. He who walks in the eight-fold noble path with unswerving determination is sure to reach Nirvana. Buddha enlightened his followers through his teachings. We speak of “Nirvana”. 34: Free Daily Quotes. ~Buddha Later exegetical works developed a whole new set of folk etymological definitions of the word nirvana, using the root vana to refer to “to blow”, but re-parsing the word to roots that mean “weaving, sewing”, “desire” and “forest or woods”: The “blowing out” does not mean total annihilation, but the extinguishing of a flame, which returns, and exists in another way. Thus for the Sautrantikas, nirvana was simply the “non-arising of further latent defilement when all latent defilements that have been produced have already been extinguished.” Meanwhile, the Pudgalavada school interpreted nirvana as the single Absolute truth which constitutes “the negation, absence, cessation of all that constitutes the world in which we live, act and suffer”. According to Williams, this dhammakaya (dharma body) is “a luminous, radiant and clear Buddha figure free of all defilements and situated within the body of the meditator.” This view has been strongly criticized as “insulting the Buddha’s teaching” and “showing disrespect to the Pali canon” by Prayudh Payutto (In his The Dhammakaya case) and this has led to fervent debates in Thai Buddhist circles. For him, here in this very life, all that is felt, not being delighted in, will become cool right here. .

According to Maha Bua, the indestructible mind or citta is characterized by awareness or knowing, which is intrinsically bright (pabhassaram) and radiant, and though it is tangled or “darkened” in samsara, it is not destroyed. ~Buddha Madhyamika Buddhist texts call this as the middle point of all dualities (Middle Way), where all subject-object discrimination and polarities disappear, there is no conventional reality, and the only ultimate reality of emptiness is all that remains. Mahayana Buddhists rejected this view as inconsistent with the universalist Mahayana ideal of the salvation of all beings and with the absolutist non-dual Mahayana perspective that did not see an ultimate distinction between samsara and nirvana. That is why we say Nirvana, but not Great Nirvana. Peter Harvey has defended the idea that nirvana in the Pali suttas refers to a kind of transformed and transcendent consciousness or discernment (viññana) that has “stopped” (nirodhena). Fifty years after this dispute, the Dhammakaya Movement also began to teach that nibbana is not anatta, but the “true self” or dhammakaya. Nirvana is also described in Buddhist texts as identical to anatta (anatman, non-self, lack of any self). Nirvana is part of the Third Truth on “cessation of dukkha” in the Four Noble Truths, and the summum bonum destination of the Noble Eightfold Path.
