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 “pari” (10[1])attached to it when referring to the death of an arhat. A cessation of suffering called nirodha leads to this concept (-5[1])according to the third of the Four Noble Truths. (10[1])In Theravada tradition, this concept is achieved (10[1])when an enlightened person (10[1])is free of (10[1])karma and can (10[1])escape (10[2])samsara. (10[1])For 10 points, name this Buddhist concept, a state of being free from the cycle of rebirth. ■END■
