Nirvana

There is no specifiable difference whatsoever between nirvāna and the everyday world; there is no specifiable difference whatever between the everyday world and nirvāna.

The ontic range of nirvāna is the ontic range of the everyday world. There is not even the subtlest difference between the two.

That which, taken as causal or dependent, is the process of being born and passing on, is, taken non-causally and beyond all dependence, declared to be nirvāna.

Ultimate serenity is the coming to rest of all ways of taking things, the repose of named things; no truth has been taught by a Buddha for anyone, anywhere. (MMK XXV: 19, 20, 9, 24)
