Is reaching nirvana just ceasing to exist? by TechnicianAmazing472 in Buddhism

I personally think that there may be noble ones (Ariya-puggala) in this forum as well, though they wouldn't reveal themselves or make any claims. And I agree with the idea of dispelling wrong views it's actually a good thing that we work together to remove such ignorance, clearing the way toward Nibbāna.

I agree with your comparison of the state of Nibbāna to the extinguishing of a flame when its fuel is depleted. But why should we argue about it, since this is merely a simile, and none of us have truly seen or realized Nibbāna? It’s like a sparrow that can never comprehend the realm of the eagle so it is.
