To attain nirvana through the middle path (the eightfold path or the threefold training, shown clearly by the buddha)
In Buddhism you progress through re-birth and death seeking enlightenment. When you are enlightened you can enter into a state of Nirvana which is a loss of the illusion of self. Essentially "you" are not there. Alternately you can chose to return to the cycle of death and rebirth to help others attain enlightenment.
Buddhism seeks to reach Nirvana through the practice of the Four Noble Truths and the Eightfold Path. The Four Noble Truths outline the nature of suffering and the path to its cessation, while the Eightfold Path provides practical guidance on ethical conduct, mental discipline, and wisdom. By cultivating mindfulness, ethical behavior, and meditation, practitioners aim to overcome attachment and ignorance, ultimately leading to the liberation from the cycle of rebirth and the attainment of Nirvana.
siddhartha gautama believed that in order to stop reincarnation, you needed to reach a state in oyur life called nirvana. nirvana is when you give up all worldy desires to follow the ways of Buddhism through the eightfold path and the 4 noble truths. when nirvana is reached, it is sayed that one will not have to go through the suffering of life again. ya, i knew all that and im not Buddhist. im a 7th grader who just had a test on that. got a 99%. :) (missed a city on the map)

Nirvana is the ultimate "state" of extinguishing of all desires and cravings in Buddhism. But, Buddhism is more a philosophy of life than a religion. Buddhists do not believe in "God" and "soul/spirit". Nirvana is the absolute "truth" which is non-conceptual and therefore ineffable. " In contrast to all other monotheistic religions, the ultimate aim of an Buddhist monk or practising Buddhist is to break the infinite cycle of deaths and rebirths (SAMSARA), by attaining Nirvana or cessation of desire.
Since Buddhists teach that eventually (through a series of reincarnations) all of mankind will become enlightened and taken in to the nothingness of Nirvana, at some point there wont be anybody left on Earth... Whether that means the world continues or not is up for debate. But no, there is no "end of the world" myth like you find in many other religions
Nirvana is the goal of Buddhism. All teachings of Buddhism are meant to the attainment of Nirvana. It is a state of mind, an understanding. It is essentially a realisation of the true nature of things in the world. We are all in an illusion, not seeing this true nature of things, so we attach to things or dislike things. We crave for some things, want to own things. If we dislike something, we hate those. And sometimes there is confusion. (Craving, Hatred and Delusion) Nirvana is when there is no attachments neither dislikes and no confusion. This is achieved through the eightfold path. Simply put by practicing to letting go, one can overcome Craving. By practicing loving kindness, one can overcome Hatred. And by meditation one can overcome delusion. These are further explained int the Eightfold path.
Hinduism and Buddhism both focus on attaining Moksha (liberation) or nirvana and force Non violence upon followers. they both Believe that there is only one true god and only way to achieve him is through meditation.
Nirvana means...1: the final beatitude that transcends suffering, karma, and samsara and is sought especially in Buddhism through the extinction of desire and individual consciousness2a : a place or state of oblivion to care, pain, or external reality; also: bliss, heaven b : a goal hoped for but apparently unattainable(FROM MERRIAM WEBSTER)so, yes, technically it could work.
There is no salvation in a Christian sense in Buddhism, that is there no deity judging you to determine if you are good enough to enter heaven. Rather we create suffering and happiness through our own actions. The Buddha illumanates a path that terminates at the end of all suffering, Nirvana or even full realisation. This path may require countless lifetimes to reach the goal of Nirvana.
