Rishabhanatha, despre care se credea c? a tr?it acum un milion de ani, a fost primul Tirthankara care a ob?inut nirvana .

Nirv??a ( / n ??r ? v n ? / neer- VAH -n? , / - ? v æ n ? / -VAN -? ; [1] sanscrit? ??????? nirv??a [n???aː??]  ; Pali nibb?na ; Prakrit ivivv??a , literalmente "suflat?", ca intr-o lamp? de petrol [2] ) este asociat? de obicei cu jainismul ?i budismul ?i reprezint? starea suprem? de eliberare soteriologic? , eliberarea de rena?terea repetat? in sa?s?ra . [3] [4]

In religiile indiene , nirvana este sinonim cu moksha ?i mukti [7] , o stare de lini?te perfect?, libertate, fericirea cea mai inalt?, precum ?i eliberarea sau sfar?itul samsarei (acel ciclu repetat de na?tere, via?? ?i moarte). [8] [9]

Cu toate acestea, ins?, tradi?iile budiste ?i non-budiste descriu ace?ti termeni ai eliber?rii in mod diferit [10]  :

  • In contextul budist, nirvana se refer? la realizarea anattei (non-eu) ?i a sunyatei (goliciune), marcand sfar?itul rena?terii prin potolirea focurilor care determin? ca procesul de rena?tere s? se perpetueze. [10] [11] [12]
  • In jainism , apare ?i obiectivul soteriologic ?i nirvana reprezint? eliberarea unui suflet de robia karmic? ?i de samsara. [16]

Etimologie [ modificare | modificare surs? ]

Cuvantul Nirvana cuvant, afirm? Steven Collins, este din r?d?cina verbal? vA ?suflu“ sub forma de participiu trecut Vana ?suflate“, prefixat cu preverbul nis insemnand ?afar?“. Prin urmare, sensul original al cuvantului este "suflat afar?, stins". Sandhi schimba sunetele: v din v?na face ca nis s? devin? nir , iar apoi r din nir provoac? retroflexiunea urm?torului n  : nis + v?na > nirv??a . [17]

Termenul nirvana in sensul soteriologic al st?rii de eliberare "suflat afar?, stins" nu apare nici in Vede, nici in Upani?ade . Potrivit lui Collins, "budi?tii par s? fi fost primii care l-au numit nirvana ". [18] Cu toate acestea, ideile eliber?rii spirituale folosind terminologie diferit?, cu conceptul de suflet ?i Brahman, apar in textele vedice ?i in Upani?ade, cum ar fi in versul 4.4.6 al Brihadaranyaka Upanishad. [19] Aceasta poate a fost folosirea deliberat? a cuvintelor in budismul timpuriu, sugereaz? Collins, deoarece Atman ?i Brahman au fost descri?i in textele vedice ?i Upani?ade cu imaginea focului ca fiind ceva bun, de dorit ?i eliberator. [20]

Origini [ modificare | modificare surs? ]

Nirvana este un termen g?sit in textele tuturor religiilor indiene majore: budism , [21] hinduism , [22] jainism [23] ?i sikhism . [24] [25] Se refer? la pacea profund? a min?ii dobandit? cu moksha , eliberarea din samsara sau eliberarea dintr-o stare de suferin?? , dup? practicarea spiritual? respectiv? sau s?dhan?. [29]

Ideea de moksha este conectat? la cultura vedic?, in care se transmite no?iunea de amrtam, ?nemurire“, [30] [31] ?i, de asemenea, no?iunea de atemporal ?nen?scut“, sau ?punctul in care se trece la lumea temporal?". Era, de asemenea, structura sa atemporal?, intregul care st? la baza "spi?elor ro?ii invariabile, dar neincetate a timpului". [32] Speran?a vie?ii dup? moarte a inceput cu no?iuni despre c?l?torii in lumea P?rin?ilor sau a str?mo?ilor sau in lumea zeilor sau a cerului. [30] [33]

Cele mai vechi texte vedice incorporeaz? conceptul de via??, urmat de o via?? de apoi in rai ?i iad, pe baza virtu?ilor cumulate (merit) sau a viciilor (nemerit). [34] Cu toate acestea, vechiul Rishis Vedic a provocat aceast? idee de via?? dup? moarte ca fiind simplist?, pentru c? oamenii nu tr?iesc o via?? la fel de moral? sau imoral?. Intre vie?ile virtuoase, in general, unele sunt mai virtuoase; in timp ce ?i r?ul are grade, iar orizontul permanent sau iadul permanent este dispropor?ionat.

Ganditorii vedici au introdus ideea unei vie?i de dup? moarte in rai sau iad propor?ional cu meritul cuiva, iar cand aceast? via?? dup? moarte se termin?, se revine ?i se rena?te. [35] [36] [37]

Ideea de rena?tere dup? "consumarea meritului" apare ?i in textele budiste. [38] Aceast? idee apare in multe texte vechi ?i medievale, cum este Sa?s?ra sau ciclul f?r? sfar?it al vie?ii, mor?ii, rena?terii ?i mantuirii, cum ar fi sec?iunea 6:31 a lui Mahabharata [39] ?i versetul 9.21 al Bhagavad Gita . [40] [41] [44] Sa?s?ra , via?a dup? moarte ?i impactul rena?terii au fost v?zute ca fiind dependente de karma . [45]

Eliberarea din sa?s?ra se desf??ura ca un scop final ?i ca o valoarea soteriologic? in cultura indian?, ?i erau numite cu diferi?i termeni precum nirvana, mok?a, mukti ?i kaivalya. Aceast? schem? de baz? st? la temelia hinduismului, jainismului ?i budismului, unde "scopul final este starea atemporal? a mok?ei sau, a?a cum se pare c? budi?tii l-au numit, nirvana". [46]

De?i termenul apare in literaturile unui num?r de vechi tradi?ii indiene, conceptul este cel mai frecvent asociat cu budismul. A fost adoptat mai tarziu de alte religii indiene, dar cu semnifica?ii ?i descrieri diferite ( Mok?a ), cum ar fi in textul hindus Bhagavad Gita din Mahabharata . [22]

Budism [ modificare | modificare surs? ]

Pictur? mural? tradi?ional? khmer? descriindu-l pe Gautama Buddha intrand in nirvana, pavilion de reunire Dharma, Wat Botum Wattey Reacheveraram, Phnom Penh , Cambodgia .

Nirvana ( nibbana ) inseamn? literalmente "suflare" sau "stingere". [47] Este cel mai folosit ?i cel mai scurt termen pentru a descrie obiectivul soteriologic in budism: eliberarea din ciclul rena?terii ( sa?s?ra ). [48] Nirvana face parte din Al Treilea Adev?r despre "incetarea dukkha" in doctrina celor patru adev?ruri nobile despre budism. [48] Este scopul Noii C?i Optuple, adic? avand opt aspecte: vederi juste, inten?ie, vorbire, fapt?, mod de via??, str?duin??, con?tiin?? ?i concentrare. [49]

Se crede, in tradi?ia scolastic? budist?, c? Buddha a realizat dou? tipuri de nirvane, unul la iluminare ?i altul la moartea sa. [50] Prima este numit? sopadhishesa-nirvana (nirvana cu un rest), a doua parinirvana sau anupadhisha-nirvana (nirvana f?r? rest sau nirvana final?). [50]

Nirvana este descris? in tradi?ia budist? ca stingerea arderilor care provoac? rena?teri ?i suferin?ele asociate. [51] Textele budiste identific? aceste ?trei focuri“ sau ?trei otr?vuri“ ca raga (l?comie, senzualitate), dvesha (aversiune, ur?) ?i avidya sau moha (ignoran??, delir).

Starea nirvanei este, de asemenea, descris? in budism ca o incetare a tuturor necazurilor, incetarea tuturor ac?iunilor, incetarea rena?terilor ?i a suferin?elor care sunt o consecin?? a necazurilor ?i a ac?iunilor. Eliberarea este descris? ca fiind identic? cu anatatea ( anatom , non-sine, lips? de sine). [52] [53]

In budism, eliberarea se realizeaz? atunci cand toate lucrurile ?i fiin?ele sunt in?elese a fi f?r? Sine. [53] [54] Nirvana este, de asemenea, descris? ca fiind identic? cu realizarea sunyata (goliciune), in care nu exist? esen?? sau natur? fundamental? in nimic ?i totul este gol. [55] [56]

In timp, odat? cu dezvoltarea doctrinei budiste, s-au dat alte interpret?ri, cum ar fi starea necondi?ionat?, [57] un foc care ce se stinge din cauza lipsei de combustibil, abandonand agita?ia ( vana ) impreun? a vie?ii dup? via?? [17] ?i eliminand dorin?ei. [58] Cu toate acestea, textele budiste au afirmat inc? din cele mai vechi timpuri, c? nirvana este mai mult decat ?distrugerea dorin?ei“, este ?obiectul cunoa?terii“ c?ii budiste. [59]

Hinduism [ modificare | modificare surs? ]

Cele mai vechi texte ale hinduismului, cum ar fi Vedele ?i Upani?adele timpurii, nu men?ioneaz? termenul soteriologic Nirvana . [22] Acest termen se g?se?te in texte precum Bhagavad Gita [22] ?i Nirvana Upani?ad, probabil compuse in epoca post-Buda. [60]

Conceptul de Nirvana este descris diferit in literaturile budist? ?i hindus?. [61] Hinduismul are conceptul de Atman - sufletul, sinele [62] [63] [64] - afirmat s? existe in fiecare fiin?? vie, in timp ce budismul afirm? prin doctrina anatman?, c? nu exist? Atman in nici o fiin??. [65] [66] Nirvana in budism este ?minte potolit?, incetarea dorin?elor, ?i ac?iune“ in de?ert?ciune, afirm? Jeaneane Fowler, in timp ce nirvana in textele hinduse post-budiste este, de asemenea, ?minte potolit?, dar nu ac?iune“ ?i ?nu de?ert?ciune“, mai degrab? este cunoa?terea adev?ratului Sine (Atman) ?i acceptarea universalit??ii ?i unit??ii sale cu Brahmanul metafizic. [61]

Jainism [ modificare | modificare surs? ]

Folio Kalpasutra pe Mahavira Nirvana . Observa?i Siddhashila in form? de semilun?, un loc in care rezid? toate siddhas-urile dup? nirvana.

Termenii mok?a ?i nirvana sunt adesea folosi?i interschimbabil in textele lui Jain. [67] [68]

Uttaradhyana Sutra ofer? o relatare despre Sudharman - numit ?i Gautama, unul dintre ucenicii lui Mahavira - care explic? sensul nirvanei lui Kesi, discipol al lui Parshva. [70]

Maniheism [ modificare | modificare surs? ]

Termenul Nirvana (men?ionat ?i sub forma parinirvana ) in lucrarea Maniheism din secolul XIII sau XIV, in "M?re?ul Cantec pentru Mani" ?i in "Povestea mor?ii lui Mani", referindu-se la "mwaym" (t?ramul luminii). [71]

Sikhism [ modificare | modificare surs? ]

Conceptul de eliberare ca "dispari?ie a suferin?ei", impreun? cu ideea de sa?s?ra ca "ciclu de rena?tere", face parte, de asemenea, din sikhism . [72] Nirvana apare in textele Sikh sub forma Nirban . [73] [74] Cu toate acestea, termenul mai frecvent este Mukti sau Mok? , [75] un concept de mantuire in care se insist? pe devotamentul iubirii fa?? de Dumnezeu pentru eliberarea din ciclul f?r? sfar?it al rena?terilor. [74]

[...] Hindu theology believes that the Atman ultimately becomes one with the Brahman. One's true identity lies in realizing that the Atman in me and the Brahman - the groud of all existence - are similar. [...] The closest kin of Atman is the Atman of all living things, which is grounded in the Brahman. When the Atman strives to be like Brahman it is only because it realizes that that is its origin - God. [...] Separation between the Atman and the Brahman is proved to be impermanent. What is ultimately permanent is the union between the Atman and the Brahman. [...] Thus, life's struggle is for the Atman to be released from the body, which is impermanent, to unite with Brahman, which is permanent - this doctrine is known as Moksha.

One cuts the force that leads to rebirth and suffering. There is no need to postulate a Self beyond all this. Indeed any postulated Self would lead to attachment, for it seems that for the Buddha a Self fitting the description could legitimately be a suitable subject of attachment. There is absolutely no suggestion that the Buddha thought there is some additional factor called the Self (or with any other name, but fitting the Self-description) beyond the five aggregates.
