Since I was finding some content Gap in this article, I decided that I should edit writings underneath the topic of buddhism. I really like the information that is provided but it just I want to add more information to it, so it can be easy for people to understand the word "Nirvana". I also read some comments in talk page and I got to know that there are some users who want to work on Buddhism because they are unsure about the difference between nirvana and moksha. so my plan toward these editing is to give some more information about nirvana. There are two different paths in buddhism which is known as Theravada buddhism and Mahayana buddhism. I want to interpret the word Nirvana interms of different paths. I have done some research on the topic and found some secondary journals which can help us to improve this section of the article.

Buddhism

Nirvana as Ultimate reality, the path of illusion. Nirvana is a libration for the human suffering. Nirvana is a very special knowalage which is vey famous phenomena in the study of Buddhism. Gautama who is the first buddha in the religion, along with his personal experience people start to believes in Nirvana. Gautama tried many different ways to reach the ultimate truth of the universe but he couldn't find, but at the end he decide to follow his own path and he starts meditation. Quiles refers to the poem "Thus he, the holy one, seated there on his seat of grass at the root of the tree, pondering by his own efforts, attained at last perfect knowledge". This poem gives us an idea how Gautama work for the Nirvana and attained perfect wisdom. Nirvana is an enlightenment.[1]

Nirvana in Theravada and Mahayana

In Theravada to reach Nirvana, it recommends to give of distractive desire which can harmful to reach Nirvana, because they believe that focusing on the main goal of the life will help you to conquers them other than desire, which can destroy your goals. In other words Therevada buddhism believes that Nirvana is getting freedom from suffering of life. The one who is temperate cannot reach nirvana, because they are not attached to the world. People who can hold their limitation can actually reach to the Nirvana.

In Mahayana Buddhism believes that those who sincerely seek libration can reach to the Nirvana. To reach Nirvana people have to become buddha and have to attempt to become a boddhistava. Mahayana Buddhism is very different form Theravada Buddhism. They believe that there is nothing outside of Nirvana, and that is the reality of the life.[2]

Difference Between Moksha and Nirvana

in terms of getting an enlistment in the life the terms moksha and nirvana is same but has different explanation depends on religious philosophy. moksha is the paramartha, spiritual release and endless cycle of samsara. moksha is seen as a purusha, which means soul, self, and spirit. soul remains in moksha.[3] but on the other hand in buddhism the analogy of anatta, explains that there nothing like soul. in Buddhism people do not believe in soul which means the word moksha does not consider same as nirvana.the word anatta meaning no-self. because people says that the self is more real than evidence warrent.[4]
