View submission: Is nirvana a permanent state?
Nirvana is not permanent, because permanence belongs to time. Nirvana is beyond time. The moment you ask whether it is permanent, you have already misunderstood. It is neither permanent nor impermanent—it simply is. And in that isness, all seeking disappears, all suffering dissolves. Nirvana is not something you achieve; it is when the one who is achieving disappears.

perhaps your tradition has a different understanding of nibbana, or perhaps people here are getting confused between the attainment of nibbana, and then continuing to live after the attainment of enlightenment with a mind that is liberated (nibbana with residue), before stating final nibbana (nibbana without residue)
