Pratisthita nirvana (Buddhism)
- Pratishthita nirvana
- Extinction without remainder
Description
The state of one who, totally liberated, achieves motionless [nirvana]
after death and will be no more reborn. There is no further contact with the world and all activity ceases. This is not a state achieved by a [bodhisattva]
, as it has to be renounced in accordance with the vow to lead others to liberation. He or she therefore experiences [apratisthita nirvana]
, liberation in this world.
