Theravada View of Nibbana
Nibbana is a state attained by the complete
liberation from Dukkha. A person who has attained
the state of Nibbana will no longer acquire kamma
that keeps the cycle of life going, so there will
no longer be rebirth. Nibbana is to be attained
in this life, not after death. And enlightened
person will have developed wisdom (sati panna)
which enables her to see the true nature of the
world.
