The Teachings of Ajahn Suchart.

Question: 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 can we know that we have attained nirvana if indeed we have attained it?
Than Ajahn: You know it when you no longer have any sadness. When you are always happy. Regardless of any situation you encounter, you’re happy. Even when you get old, get sick or are going to die, you’re happy.
Then, you know that you are in nibbāna.
