The Teachings of Ajahn Suchart.
27 June 2023
“Nirvana or Nibbāna.”
Question from Singapore: “How do you define nirvana? “
Than Ajahn: “Nirvana is the cessation of all suffering in the mind. There is no suffering, no sadness, no misery, no bad feelings within the mind. This is called ‘nirvana’ or ‘nibbāna.’”
Question: “How do we know that we have attained nirvana?”
Than Ajahn: “You know it when you no longer have any sadness. When you are always happy. Regardless of the situation you might encounter, you’re still happy. Even when you get old, get sick or die, you’re still happy.
Then, you know that you have got to nibbāna.”
