The author has delved deep into the main theme Nirvana. In Indian religions, Nirvana is synonymous with moksha and mukti. All Indian religions assert it to be a state of perfect quietude, freedom, highest happiness as well as the liberation from or ending of samsara, the repeating cycle of birth, life and death. (in Buddhism) a transcendent state in which there is neither suffering, desire, nor sense of self, and the subject is released from the effects of karma and the cycle of death and rebirth. It represents the final goal of Buddhism. A concise and small book that deals with the most profound aspect of Buddhism called Nirvana - the cessation of life. Set in the form of dialogues between two persons: Sudatta a farmer, and Anuradha - a disciple of the Buddha, each chapter unfolds various aspects of Buddhists philosophy and aims to acquaint the reader with the kernel of all Buddhist philosophical introspection – Nirvana. This is a collection of stories taken from Buddhist legends which provides an overview of Buddhist teachings.
