Nirvana

Religion-wiki — for all religions and none

(Buddha)

 This, truly, is the Peace, this is the Highest, namely the end of all
 formations, the forsaking of every substratum of rebirth, the fading
 away of craving: detachment, extinction-Nirvana.
Enraptured with lust, enraged with anger, blinded by delusion, overwhelmed, with mind ensnared, man aims at his own ruin, at others' ruin, at the ruin of both parties, and he experiences mental pain and grief. But, if lust, anger, and delusion are given up, man aims neither at his own ruin, nor at others' ruin, nor at the ruin of both parties, and he experiences no mental pain and grief. Thus is Nirvana immediate, visible in this life, inviting, attractive, and comprehensible to the wise.
The extinction of greed, the extinction of anger, the extinction of delusion: this, indeed, is called Nirvana.
