Everyone interprets things in their own ways. We both might hear the same sound of someone saying apple. But no one can guarantee we both understood it the same way. Even my own thoughts about the apple in two different instances aren't identical. This implies Buddha described the things he realized in some fathomable way to regular people. But that is not to say it's the reality of our cosmos. One's understanding of Nirvana could be entirely different from another person's understanding of the same word. I don't think there can be any objectivity in Nirvana. The simplest way to explain it is you cease to exist. But it doesn't imply your non-existence exists. Both your existence and non-existence doesn't exist including your non-existence of existence and non-existence. In brief no human concept is capable of describing reality. Everything including Buddha's teachings are approximations. It's inevitable to run into obstacles if one believes Buddha's or anyone's words have some objective validity.</blockquote>
