==Schopenhauer== |

Nirvana corresponds to Schopenhauer's concept of denial of the will. It can be positively called deliverance or salvation, but is actually a ''relative,'' '''negative''' ''concept' meaning '''nothingness.''' In its application to the world as experienced by an observer, it is the '''absence''' ''or'' '''non-existence''' ''of birth, disease, old age, and death and their related suffering due to craving or attachment''. This is in extreme contrast to the interpretation of Nirvana as a positive concept, that is, as a condition of happiness, joy, pleasure, eternal life, enlightenment, knowledge, and so forth. ] 00:39, 29 April 2006 (UTC)Lestrade |

The word Nirvana is made up of tree words, Nir Va Djna and litteraly mean "withouth wrong thoughts", according to Buddha Dharma the changing of a wrong context into a skillfull context will automaticaly give rise to right view of the world as it is, ThathaGarba - "as it is with qualities", and permanent Buddha hood is reached. |

"Nirvana" (not the Pali ''nibbana'', not the Sanskrit ''Nirvāṇa'': those are foreign, indeed) is an English word. |
|
|
|
|
|
This is one of the terms in Yoga and Hinduism that have been widely used in English for many years, and can be found in the major English dictionaries (such as Oxford, Merriam-Webster). When a term is widely used in English, it is no longer "foreign" whatever its etymology, and should not be marked up in italics: the MoS policy on foreign words does not apply to terms adopted into English. ] (]) 08:44, 15 November 2019 (UTC) |

There should be one available for this article. e.g. Nirvana (band) <small>—Preceding ] comment added by ] (]) 08:41, 12 November 2007 (UTC)</small><!-- Template:UnsignedIP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot--> |

Skimming through this article I note a little bit of ambiguity on that point. I think the question should be made explicit and given its own topic heading. ] (]) 14:13, 31 May 2021 (UTC) James. |

::I agree there should be a disambiguation page for the word; ask anyone what they think of first when they hear the word: the band, or the Buddhist "state of mind"? I think the majority who search Misplaced Pages for "Nirvana" are probably looking for the former. --] 05:38, 4 December 2007 (UTC) |
