Nirvana

Nirvana in Buddhism is not annihilation or escape to a heavenly realm, but the cessation of the craving and ignorance that fuel the cycle of suffering—often described as the blowing out of a flame, leaving peace rather than nothingness. The practical implication is that liberation doesn't require dying or transcending the world, but fundamentally changing your relationship to desire while fully alive.
