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” attached to it when referring to the death of an arhat. A cessation of suffering called nirodha leads to this concept according to the third (10[1])of the Four Noble Truths. (10[1])In Theravada tradition, (-5[1])this concept is achieved when an (10[1])enlightened person is (10[1])free (10[1])of karma and can escape samsara. For 10 points, name this Buddhist concept, a state of being free from the cycle of rebirth. (0[1])■END■
