View submission: Is nirvana a permanent state?
It's misleading to call it a "permanent state". Once the constituents that a phenomenon is formed from separate, that same phenomenon never occurs again, but it would seem strange to call the non-existence of that phenomenon a "permanent state". It's the same with the three poisons of ignorance, greed, and hatred. Once those poisons have been eradicated through perfect awakening, they never arise again - but it would be a bit odd to call this a "permanent state". It's merely the absence of a temporary phenomenon. The fact that this absence has been given a name causes us to reify it as a "thing". But it is not a "thing".
