Answer 2

It depends on the segment of or type of Buddhism. Theravada Buddhism speaks individual passage into a state of Nirvana after enlightenment. Mahayana Buddhism is based on enlightened Buddhists returning to the cycle of death and rebirth after enlightenment to assist others to reach Nirvana so that all sentient beings can join together at once..

Answer 3

Depending on the school of Buddhism the goal of achieving Nirvana is somewhat different, Thedavara Buddhism see transitioning to Nirvana as happening after enlightenment (and death).

Answer 5

The ultimate goal for a Buddhist as per Buddha is Nirvana. Nirvana is the escape from the cycle of death and rebirth. While Budha did not specifically explain what happens after Nirvana, he has mentioned that it is a state of ultimate eternal, everlasting peace, joy, and bliss. This Nirvana is based on the Hindu concept of Moksha, both are the same. The Buddha himself was a Hindu but he was fed up with the Caste System, and idol worship and thus he moved beyond Sanatana Dharma, the original Hindu faith, on which the Nirvana concept is based. The ultimate goal for us is, thus, liberation from this body, from rebirth and unification with the Divine.
