Nibbãna (skt. Nirvana): Literally meaning “extinguished”, Nibbãna is compared to a lamp or a fire going out. That is to say, the threefold fire of greed, hatred and delusion goes out in the heart due to lack of fuel. The extinguishing of this fire frees the mind from everything that binds it to the cycle of rebirth and the suffering experienced therein. Nibbãna is Absolute Freedom, the Supreme Happiness. As such, it is the ultimate goal of the Buddhist training. It is said to be Unborn, Deathless, and Un­conditioned, but being totally detached from all traces of conventional reality, a description of what Nibbãna is, or is not, lies wholly beyond the range of conventional figures of speech.

涅槃(Nibbāna)：意思是“熄灭”，涅槃可比喻作灯或火的熄灭。这是说，贪、嗔、痴由于缺乏燃料，而从心中熄灭。这个熄灭让心解脱于使它轮回生死、并受苦的一切束缚。涅槃是绝对的自由、无上的快乐。因此，它是佛教修行的最终目标。它不生、不灭、无为，由于它已彻底超越一切世间概念，所以关于涅槃是或不是什么，完全超越世间的语言文字所能描述。
