Excerpt
Excerpt: 'Extinction'; according to the commentaries: 'Freedom from Desire'. Nibbana constitutes the highest and ultimate goal of all Buddhist aspirations, ie. absolute extinction of the lifeaffirming will manifested as Greed, Hate and Delusion, and convulsively clinging to existence; and therewith also the ultimate and absolute deliverence from all future 'rebirth', old age, disease and death, from all suffering and misery.
