Thich Nhat Hanh on Buddhist Essentials: What is Nirvana 

There is no gone. If you mourn the loss of him, then learn what he had to share, and how he chose to act. Then be it in each breath.

@@keaganwheeler-mccann8565 yeah yeah I know... ultimate dimension and historical...

@@GardenYourHeart98 Nothing like that. People die, the only thing left are the consequences on reality going forward no matter how small. He laid out how to be like him, if you miss his presence, become a living continuation of what you enjoy about his presence.

It feels like the clouds finally cleared, like pure perfection, and you think: "why did i ever even attempt to fix what was never broken? Why sense does it make to try to transcend perfection?" Basically you realize that all actions were just clouds created by the mind, and when they clear, you realize that there has always been perfection, and that perfection is the clear mind, which is naturally not clouded. Clouds are created by thoughts and actions. This clearness It's something that is always there, and the only things that distract us from it are our thoughts and actions aka clouds which we create ourselves and all we have to do is stop creating and just observe the present moment.

@@pimpleheaven but I want to know do we have living in Nirvana??? do we have eyes to see things and can go anywhere we want or not???? I know there is no body after we get into Nirvana…. but can we still see, hear and smell things or not ???? that is my point!!!!! I know there is no eating and living like a human

@Bernd Mensing I hope it is not suggested here that the Buddha’s teaching of Right Thought, Right Speech, Right Action, Right Livelihood, Right Effort, Right Mindfulness, Right Concentration, and Right Understanding are all “views”, thus “wrong views” according to above logic. Following such rationality is confusing. It was with great discernments that Buddha pointed out clearly what were considered wrongs vs rights. It is essential we know the differences to safely nagivate toward identification of sufferings, the causes of those sufferings, and the practice of letting go with clear undertanding of impermanence, clinging-based sufferings, and conceptualized self identities. If “Nirvana” is the sublime and liberating peace we are destined to arrive, let not burn the road map that takes us closer to it by saying all road maps are erroneous. And even if one has “arrived”, as the Buddha and the many Arhats after him, one would naturally leave behind the correct roadmap (as the Buddha left behind Dharma) for others to follow.

@Bernd Mensing 🙏

I think you the one who need it
