Nirvana is extinction,its not a state of liberationJack said:There is no heaven for Christians. They are sucked dry by alien ets who theyve dedicated their souls to once they die.Buddhists don't go to nirvana when they die. Nirvana is a state of liberation which one has to achieve through meditation in physical life. Once your dead, its over.

I'm talking about the literal meaning of the word not the actual way Buddhists go about trying to achieve it I.e by suiciding.Nirvāṇa (/nɪərˈvɑːnə/ neer-VAH-nə, /-ˈvænə/ -VAN-ə, /nɜːr-/ nur-;[1] Sanskrit: निर्वाण nirvāṇa [nɪɽʋaːɳɐ]; Pali: निब्बान nibbāna; Prakrit: णिव्वाण ṇivvāṇa, literally "blown out", as in an oil lamp[2]) is commonly associated with Jainism and Buddhism, and represents its ultimate state of soteriological release, the liberation from repeated rebirth in saṃsāra.[3][web 1][4]
Yes busdhists strive to completely become nothingness, basically they want their soul to dissipate in the astral.NinRick said:shinninglight said:Nirvana is extinction,its not a state of liberationJack said:There is no heaven for Christians.

correct me if I am wrong but I think I remember a HP explaining that nirvana is the big void of nothing, in other words nirvana means permanent death of the soul. When someone has a too weak soul to maintain it's form it just dissipates and you are no more.
SO KEEP UP THE MEDITATIONS GUYS, NO NIRVANA FOR US I AM AFRAID![]()

When you're dead, then you're dead. All you can do is be dead. :roll:TopoftheAbyss said:Can't you explore the universe when dead?
Not true, if that would be true then how would souls communicate with us and interact with us(with minimal results though).FancyMancy said:When you're dead, then you're dead. All you can do is be dead. :roll:TopoftheAbyss said:Can't you explore the universe when dead?

By being "dead", then your Body, Conscious and Soul are dead. If by being Body-dead, then your Soul would continue, hopefully. I took "dead" here to mean full-death. Remember - those Ghosts (Body-dead individuals) are very much alive.Aquarius said:Not true, if that would be true then how would souls communicate with us and interact with us(with minimal results though).FancyMancy said:When you're dead, then you're dead.
