The Project Name

  01 October 2015

Nirvãna (Sanskrit: निर्वाण nirvāna ; Pali: निब्बान nibbāna ; Prakrit: णिव्वाण ṇivvāṇa ) is the Sanskrit word for the Enlightenment, which also means “Blown out” (as in flame of a lamp or candle) / “coolness”. 

Dhammã means the Teaching or Philosophy. Samma Sambuddha’s teachings are purely guided to cease all kind of suffering & unsatisfactory feelings by gaining pure happiness and peace to the mind. It is indeed possible through the elimination of ignorance / unawareness and craving. This accomplishment is called as the enlightenment / Nirvãna / Nirvana. For that, one have to understand & realize the perception of dependent origination and the Four Noble Truths which is in another name “Dhammã”. 

So this project named as “Nirvãna Dhammã” with the intention of sharing pure Buddhist teachings which explained by Great Samma Sambuddha commonly known as Lord Buddha / Gautama Buddha / the awakened one for the enlightenment.
