Although Buddhists have never reached complete agreement on its meaning, nirvana is a Sanskrit name translated as "extinction." The act and effect of blowing on something to put it out, blowing or extinguishing. The religious usage of the word is used even earlier than Buddhism itself and is also present in other Hindu sects such as Jainism. The concept of Nirvana is the idea of ​​a state of happiness and liberation from individuality and the suffering of the cycle of births and deaths. Different schools have adopted the concept of Nirvana differently. The reason is that Buddhist texts do not provide a clear definition of nirvana, but rather express its meaning using metaphors. For example, the Pali Canon (Buddhist scripture) interprets Nirvana “as when a flame is extinguished by the wind.” The metaphor refers to the extinction of greed, hatred and illusion. After that, one is no longer subject to the cycle of death and rebirth. Other schools have different views of nirvana and view it as the culmination of personal discipline and self-reliance.
