    Because I don't have anything except "Buddha's word" to prove it

    its not something we can prove or explain :) it is a state that we cant easily explain to anyone. buddha would have given a nirvana tutorial to everyone if is easy to explain

    why do you assume it's going to continue?

    I'm deducing based on my experience and observations of the natural world that it's gonna all end with death

    are you familiar with the concept punarbhava ? we are changing every second. even now

    Then the only reason you have to believe in Niravana is your faith :lol:

    thats what you think :) as i told you before it is a complicated topic :) there is no short cuts for nirvana. no short explanations as well. it is a state that we cant explain :)

    :lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:

    I didn't ask for shortcuts, I just wanted proof.

    Religion is something you believe out of blind faith; without reason.

    If you believe something (i.e. Nirvana) out of faith you're following a religion, not a philosophy or a way of life :)

    let me simply this matter for you here. the problem here is those who felt nirvana cant explain how it feels to others. this means they cant give you a reason even though they feel it their self :)

    Same way people who felt the divine power of flying spaghetti monster (peace to be upon him) can't explain how it feels to others. this means they can't give you a reason even though they feel it their self :)

    chances are less to have a flying spaghetti monster :) we all know how spaghetti is made :) so you cant compare nirvana with this. is there anyone here who has felt nirvana ?
