IS NIRVANA NOTHINGNESS?

                                 

If only because the senses can not perceive is that we assert that Nirvana (*) are void, is not no, not at all, it is like the blind irrational conclusion that there is no light in my life , just because he's never seen the light.In his well-known fable, "Turtles and fish," fish only with water so that while talking to turtles, fish resounding no ground to conclude that because of the personal questions are answered turtles " does not. "
Long ago there was a fish. Fish live in the water and just do not know anything other than water.
One day, fish swimming Maldives capital absorbed the turtles met her. Question of the cowardly turtles hang long walk on land. Fish asked: "Good evening turtle, you go that long I have not seen?"
- her personality, her offer. Yesterday I went from place to place a ring on dry land. Turtle replied.
- à dry land! Fish surprised. She said dry land, dry land is so what? We never see dry land. Dry land is not sure at all. Mild temperament, turtles softly replied:
- Yes, very good, I would like to think so well. Nobody prevents her way. However, a few days where I go from place to place so dry ground.
- Sister Turtle, where she made ​​it clear to see. Dry land but how you say it, like what? It is not wet?
- No, dry soil, not wet.
- dry land cool, mellow and pleasant it?
- No, not the cool dry land and pleasant mellow.
- Land during dry and light shines through it?
- No, not during the dry earth and the light does not shine through it.
- dry land is soft and gentle to yourself swimming in it is not?
- No, not soft and gentle land, and can not swim in the ground.
- The land has passed into the line and move it?
- No, the earth did not move and did not flow into the line.
- Land with churn and foam melts into it? Fish upset with a series of turtles do not answer.
- No, not the waves on earth. Turtle honest answer.
fish suddenly looked jubilant and triumphant people rang:
- See, like I said it do not work anymore? I told her that dry land is nothing, nothing at all. I asked and she confirmed that dry soil is not wet, not cool, soothing and pleasant, not transparent and the light does not shine through it, not soft and gentle to her pleasant can swim swim in it, the earth does not move smoothly into the line and nor churn and foam as well as insoluble. Not at all, there is nothing not?
Turtle replied:
- Yes, very good, the fish you, if you assert that the earth was void, nothingness, then you continue to think like that. In fact, people who knew the land and water and would say that she is just foolish fish, because she insisted that she did not know something that is not there at all, is nothing. Say nothing because you never know.
Sees turtles left here alone with the fish in small ponds, wading turned away and thinking to others journeying on dry land, where the fish is imaginary nothingness.
interesting story implies that although this had lived in the country and on dry land turtles can not explain to individuals, only to know the country, the true nature of the soil. Which fish can not be aware of how the land, because water just know it.
Similarly, although the word A-La-Han knew how the world is, and supernatural status as stars, but he can not use ordinary language to describe the world superpower status. Which person in the world can not be perceived by the common understanding of how the world's super star status.
(...) Nibbana is not nothingness, nor just an end . Nirvana is not how we can speak forthrightly. But if I had to describe exactly how Nirvana is the language of the world can not appropriate because Nirvana is absolute oneness. Be yourself realizations (paccatam veditabbo).

(...)  In the Itivuttaka, Buddha said:
"There are two forms of experience is Nirvana Nirvana experience while also bringing yourself and experience at Nirvana no body.

" Behold, O monks, Nirvana experience while also bringing what was formerly known as? Being here, o Bhikkhus, a Bhikkhu he attained Arhat, has eradicated pollution, lived spiritual life noble, did the work to be done, have the burden down, has achieved goals, tied eradicated all life, a monk and true knowledge has been freed. grains of the he is still, and as yet completely separated from the army, he was feeling good and enjoying the fruits reap evil results. Termination of greed, hatred and delusion, his monk's called Nirvana experience while also bring the five aggregates . "
" o Bhikkhus, Nirvana experience while five aggregates is not what? "Here, o Bhikkhus, a Bhikkhu he attained Arhat, cells were eradicated infection, has lived noble spiritual life, did the work to be done, have the burden down, has reached the goal, the ties were eradicated of life, a monk and true understanding has been freed. In her own life, I no longer enjoy the feeling of another body, the cool teacher. It is the Nirvana experience during the five aggregates no longer. "[5]

Note:

(*) Nirvana: From the word Nirvana (Sanskrit), Nibbana (Pali). Nirvana is a state of tranquility, passed away, the purpose of final liberation of Buddhism. Cessation of defilements, craving biomedical. Citizenship is a state of pure bliss absolute peace, life and death are no longer dominant.
"Ni" means "no" and "Vana" which means "craving" is a love and desire. Thus Nirvana is the extinction of craving, killing off love and desire. As long as there is craving or attachment, the attachment is creating new career and a new career turn bear this must result in some form of cyclic birth and death is not the end. By the time all forms of craving the ability to terminate the renewable industry and we also stopped to attain Nirvana, escape the cycle of birth and rebirth.  END=VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY THICH CHAN TANH.MHDT.WORLD VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST ORDER=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUNS=GOLDEN LOTUS MONASTERY=AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.8/7/2013.NAM MO SAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).
