What According to Buddhist teachings if people can overcome their desire and ignorance they will reach what?
Buddha does not speak of overcoming ignorance. He does indicate that desire is a product of an unskilled approach to life and desire is the cause of suffering. Controlling desire by following the Eightfold path's suggestions reduces or eliminates pain. Understanding and following the Eightfold Path leads to enlightenment. A Enlightenment allows Buddhists to reach the end of the cycle of death and rebirth and may, if the enlightened person desires, lead to entry into Nirvana.
Existing in Nirvana allows the Buddhist to reach a state of selfless existence devoid of ego.
