That's great! Congrats!

Welcome, to any and all newcomers.

May you achieve inner peace and enlightenment in this lifetime.

“Conveying oneself towards things in order to carry out practice/enlightenment is delusion. All things coming forth and carrying out practice/enlightenment through the self is realization.” Dogen Zenji

"My idea of the untainted man of religion is the person who gives himself completely to Buddhism and leads a religious life without troubling himself about the attainment of enlightenment." Dogen Shinji

In reference to the seen, there will be only the seen.
In reference to the heard, only the heard.
In reference to the sensed, only the sensed.
In reference to the cognized, only the cognized.
That is how you should train yourself.
When for you there will be only the seen in reference to the seen,
only the heard in reference to the heard,
only the sensed in reference to the sensed,
only the cognized in reference to the cognized,
then, Bāhiya, there is no you in connection with that.
When there is no you in connection with that, there is no you there.
When there is no you there, you are neither here nor yonder nor between the two.
This, just this, is the end of stress." ~ Bāhiya Sutta

So Hum.

I let go of the law, and people become honest.
I let go of economics, and people become prosperous.
I let go of religion, and people become serene.
I let go of all desire for the common good, and the good becomes common as grass.
- Tao Te Ching

You only lose what you cling to. ~Buddha

Hello everyone. What is your interpretation of nirvana? What do you think it is?

Rinaia wrote:Hello everyone. What is your interpretation of nirvana? What do you think it is?

Nirvana transcends all duality of knower and known, of being and non-being.

~ Laṅkāvatāra Sūtra. Chapter 1

The Buddhist nirvana is defined as release from samsara, literally the Round of Birth and Death, that is, from life lived in a vicious circle, as an endlessly repetitious attempt to solve a false problem. Samsara is therefore comparable to attempts to square the circle, trisect the angle, or construct a mechanism of perpetual motion. A puzzle which has no solution forces one to go over the same ground again and again.

~ Alan Watts, Psychotherapy, East and West (1961), p. 16
