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 (10[1])to it when referring to the death of an arhat. A cessation of suffering called (10[1])nirodha leads to this concept according to the third of the (10[1])Four Noble Truths. In Theravada tradition, this concept is achieved when an enlightened person is free of karma (10[3]-5[1])and can escape samsara. For 10 points, name this Buddhist concept, a state of being free from the cycle of rebirth. ■END■
