In Buddhism to attain Nibbana is not something you can show "how to" on a stage but something you must achieve from within by observing who "I am", i.e. you question from yourself, what is mind, what is conscioussness and what are thoughts, etc, not by means of words, but better be described as through an experiment. That experiment may very well be failed. It is open to test. That is what makes Buddhism different from a religion.But, there is some issue here. You must first suppose (not "believe") your teacher is correct if you are to successfully conclude that the experiment returns either positive or negative, i.e. you should not have any prejudgment. Assuming your teacher is correct is NOT prejudgment! Why? Your experiment will eventually show if your assumption is correct or incorrect. But, as is for many other experiments, you have to have a great deal of patience.BTW, thank you for the link my friend <img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/happy.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":)" title="Happy    :)" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
