    i think what he's doing is try to give an ontological description to nirvana. that's the easiest way to understand just about anything. but i dont think it's right to consider it(nirvana) as a substance :no: sunyathavada is about denying the very idea of substance as per my understanding.
    if u want to learn more on this read the articles below

    Now i'm confused.I can't see a difference between nirvana and pure coniousness in hindunism:oo: because they have a eternal substance too called pure consiousness.

    well they both arose in ancient india. so it's quite normal for one school to borrow ideas from another school.

    So it's the same.Only the path to go there is different:oo:

    not exactly. verbal descriptions can only take u so far. they are there as a guide. read some more articles on the topic sunyathavada. ud understand what i mean. people have to use concepts found among general population to explain their insights even when they go beyond simple concepts we use in our day to day life. so when somebody came up with some profound concept like sunyathavada it's normal for everybody to try and give some sunthayavadi explanation to their ideas. just because some 2 explanations sounds similar doesnt mean they both refer to the same thing :no:

    In Hindu tradition, nirvana (more commonly called moksha) is the reuniting with Brahman,the biggest differences between Hinduism and Buddhism.

    That's what i'm asking:oo:


    In this world, at this moment there are no one who can answer your question. There can be but even if they are, we may not be intellectual enough to understand what they explain. Nowadays, the most foolish thing people do is trying to understand something without making an effort to get there in the first place. As a simple example, its like a 6 year old is trying to pass A/L examination. Its impossible for the 6 year old until he reaches that level step by step by following the same path shown by the person who achieved it first. Hope you get the point.

    Exactly... 'Ehi passiko'
    Nirwana cannot be explain by words.

    Rebirth caused by attachments.
    Suffering caused by Rebirth.

    End the attachments (Does not mean , not married no kids policy :lol:).

    Same Perfume may give different thoughts to two different people, Yet that perfume is the same, which made difference is your Keles (Wrongful ideas).


    When you blow out a candle, what happened to that little flame, where did it go ? can you explain it to a little kid Nope, It does not exists as the reasons are no more.

    No reason no result.
    No attachment no existance

    This is the very basics... go deep you'll find more...
    Reading and understanding is not going with Buddhism.
