Question 1 · 1 mark · Difficulty 1/3

In Buddhism, what does the term 'nirvana' most accurately mean?

  1. Rebirth into a higher realm of existence
  2. The achievement of perfect moral conduct
  3. The blowing out of craving, hatred, and delusion
  4. The state of deep meditation and mindfulness
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: CThe blowing out of craving, hatred, and delusion
Nirvana literally means 'blowing out' or 'extinguishing' — referring to the extinguishing of the three fires of craving, hatred, and delusion. Rebirth into a higher realm describes samsara progression, not nirvana. Perfect moral conduct describes sila, one part of the Eightfold Path. Deep meditation describes samadhi, not the final goal itself.
Question 2 · 1 mark · Difficulty 1/3

Which Buddhist concept refers to the complete nirvana that occurs at the death of an enlightened being, when no further rebirth takes place?

  1. Samsara
  2. Parinirvana
  3. Sopadisesa nirvana
  4. Sunyata
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: BParinirvana
Parinirvana refers to the 'final nirvana' or 'complete nirvana' that occurs when an enlightened being dies and is no longer reborn. Samsara is the cycle of rebirth that nirvana ends. Sopadisesa nirvana is nirvana achieved during life while the physical body remains. Sunyata means emptiness, a key concept in Mahayana philosophy, not the term for death-nirvana.
