Nirvana is known as a state of freedom from suffering and individual existence. Buddhists see the state of Nirvana as enlightenment. Achieving it is their ultimate goal. It is fundamentally freedom from greed, ignorance and hate in the world. Nirvana cannot be described in words but it can only be learned through experience directly. An example of this would be achieving your most desired dream. By achieving your greatest dream or challenge, you’ve experienced, in a sense, a form of Nirvana. People who have spent their whole lives climbing tall mountains, ultimately hoping to climb Mount Everest one day. When that day comes and they have reached the summit, they’ll be enlightened for conquering their dream and therefore, in a state of nirvana.
Nirvana is also known as a spiritual condition in which the person is freed from karma. Karma is, for example, when you do something bad to someone. You will keep carrying this karma or bad energy until you do something nice to someone. Until then, you’ll have the worst of luck on your side. Doing something nice for someone will just give you good karma and you will have great luck until you decide to be bad again.
