Nibbāna

nibbāna

The unconditioned, liberation

literally: blowing out

Nibbāna is the fourth paramattha: unconditioned, unborn, beyond saṃsāra. It is the object of the supramundane path and fruition cittas and is twofold: with residue (sa-upādisesa) and without residue (anupādisesa).

In short

The deathless — cessation of greed, hatred, delusion.
