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