Nirvana is a state of greater inner peace and contentment or highest happiness. I wonder if there are any stages or states in-between before reaching Nirvana state. More specifically, if Nirvana is the state after "step 3" of getting to the ultimate happiness or inner peace, what is the states after "step 1" and "step 2" can be called. Thanks!

Hmm. How I was taught (Mahayana Buddhism) was that one reaches enlightenment, then after death one can choose to leave the wheel of reincarnation and go to Nirvana instead.
Really, it's the enlightenment that's the tricky part.

manufactured from your ecosystem, nope, uh huh. i'm not a manufactured from my ecosystem, and a similar is going for many human beings around the area. in simple terms on the grounds which you're able to or won't be surrounded by using something, does not mean that it will effect your thinking, opinion or who you alter into. human beings have loose will and function some say on the guy they'll and prefer to alter into in spite of a few outdoors influencing factors. give up assuming Obama is a racist by way of fact of a few assertion pals of his made. 2d, do not continuously anticipate that if a individual makes a racist assertion makes them a racist as properly. many human beings have made racist statements, or have a view of the international or u . s . a . that would not in fantastic condition with the mainstreams desirable after that's label, a zealot, a enthusiast, a cult and to that end a racist. I choose the "adults" that are meant to be so clever and all understanding took aff the rose colored glasses and extremely take a closer seem in the previous making assumptions with very little or no data.

actually Nivana is from the snuffing out of the candle
the extinguishment of all pleasures in cluding hope
why would you want ot do that?
the Bible presents a God who has desires and the desires of man and the glory of God meet perfectly in heaven thanks to the work of Jesus on the cross and is quite a different view

The best way to "nirvana" is to accept Christ as your savior. Or you can spend your whole life trying to be cosmically unconscious.
