The understanding of Nirvana I like/understand is the idea that Nirvana means the extinguishing of fire. Mainly the three fires that cause human suffering. These fires are Greed, Hate and Delusion.
IMO this idea is important because these passions/fires are what causes our self destruction.
I know other concepts of what Nirvana is exist, like non-self or a kind of heaven, ultimate bliss...
Personally I don't find these concepts as useful or even particularly appealing.
What is your understanding of Nirvana?
