Question

D.T. Suzuki argued that this concept was non-dual and contrasted with a “world of particulars” governed by “causation.” In response to a question from Sariputra, this concept was defined as the destruction of raga, dvesha, and moha. This concept, which derives from a word for snuffing out a fire, has the prefix (-5[1])“pari” attached (10[1])to it when referring to the death of an arhat. (10[1])A cessation (10[1])of suffering called nirodha (10[1])leads to this concept according (10[1])to the third of the Four Noble Truths. (10[2])In Theravada tradition, this concept is achieved when (10[1])an enlightened (-5[1])person is free of karma and can escape samsara. (10[1])For 10 points, name this Buddhist concept, (10[1])a state of being free from the cycle of rebirth. (10[2])■END■
