Nibbãna (skt. Nirvana): Literally meaning “extinguished”, Nibbãna is compared to a lamp or a fire going out. That is to say, the threefold fire of greed, hatred and delusion goes out in the heart due to lack of fuel. The extinguishing of this fire frees the mind from everything that binds it to the cycle of rebirth and the suffering experienced therein. Nibbãna is Absolute Freedom, the Supreme Happiness. As such, it is the ultimate goal of the Buddhist training. It is said to be Unborn, Deathless, and Un­conditioned, but being totally detached from all traces of conventional reality, a description of what Nibbãna is, or is not, lies wholly beyond the range of conventional figures of speech.

　　涅槃(Nibbāna)：意思是“熄滅”，涅槃可比喻作燈或火的熄滅。這是說，貪、嗔、癡由于缺乏燃料，而從心中熄滅。這個熄滅讓心解脫于使它輪回生死、並受苦的一切束縛。涅槃是絕對的自由、無上的快樂。因此，它是佛教修行的最終目標。它不生、不滅、無爲，由于它已徹底超越一切世間概念，所以關于涅槃是或不是什麼，完全超越世間的語言文字所能描述。
