Nirvana (Sanskrit, also nirvÄá¹a; Pali: nibbana, nibbÄna ) is the earliest and most common term used to describe the goal of the Buddhist path. The literal meaning is blowing out or quenching..

Nirvana is part of the Third Truth on cessation of dukkha in the Four Noble Truths, and the summum bonum destination of the Noble Eightfold Path.
