The original meaning of "Nirvana"
This article explains the original meaning of "Nirvana" from a scientific perspective.
What is "Nirvana"?
Nirvana doesn't originally refer to an afterlife or any religious concept.
Instead, it refers to a specific mental state that can be reached through meditation.
"Nirvana" comes from the Sanskrit term meaning to "blow out", signifying the extinction of defilements.

By consistently practicing our meditation technique, you may experience the following, sometimes within an hour:
- A moment may arrive during meditation when your mental state undergoes a profound transformation.
- Everything seems to pass by like scenery outside a train window (impermanence), and you become an impartial observer, simply watching without attachment (non-self).
- You can observe the changes in your own mind with complete neutrality, as if gazing at a distant landscape.
- By becoming a neutral observer, you free yourself from all negative emotions, achieving complete inner peace (Nirvana).
- You can maximize the benefits of meditation.
This is entering Nirvana.
