Buddhism & Buddhist Beliefs – Isn't it time you were enlightened?
Nirvana is another belief of Buddhism religion; this has been associated with both Hinduism the oldest religion in the world and Buddhism its best known off-shoot. although this is the most misunderstood term in Buddhism because there are still many people who still don’t understand what nirvana really mean, is most specially to those who are not really followers. But those people who are in the west recognize it by the term of the meaning heaven, heaven on earth of maybe from a famous rock bad before. But, this is the state of eternal happiness that could be achieved by just giving up worldly desires.
In Buddha the word nirvana was described as the ultimate goal, it means that it has already reached the state during the enlightenment.
Actually nirvana really means extinguishing and unbinding. It is a freedom from whatever binds you; even it comes from the burning passion of desire, jealousy and even ignorance. Once this all things overcome, a state of bliss is achieved.
