View submission: Is nirvana a permanent state?
wait I always thought that nirvana was the point you reach where you are at balance and peace with everything bad and good, is it specifically extreme good/happiness? and enlightenment is the point where you're at peace with everything?
does that mean that the aim of being a perfect Buddhist is to reach enlightenment specifically, rather than nirvana?
I am kinda new to actually learning about Buddhism, so I apologise if I word anything wrong

Nirvana is the aim of individual liberation, complete enlightenment is the aim of the bodhisattvas.
