About Nibbana

Nirvana is a Sanskrit term used to describe the ultimate goal of Buddhist practice: achieving enlightenment or awakening. In Pali, the language of some of the earliest Buddhist texts, this is referred to as nibbana; both words mean "extinguishing" or "cessation," referring to the elimination of greed, ill will, and delusion in the mind, which are known as the three poisons that cause suffering.
