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.
