Nirvana cannot be explained or put into words because it is beyond definition. In Buddhism, the thought or the word is not the thing itself so the state of Nirvana cannot be put into words so one who has not achieved it can understand what it is other than it is a complete release from desire and from the effects of karma. A person who has reached Nirvana, no longer creates either bad karma or good karma.

Buddhism teaches that Nirvana is the highest state of being, a state of pure being. And it is achieved by means relative to the individual. Nirvana defies rational explanation and logical ordering therefore it cannot be taught, only realized

Nirvana is a place where your life is peaceful and free from all desire - pure life. You have no worry and no sadness. You are wise and merciful. You can bless and guide your living family members to live a good and happy life. In general, it is a place where you have a easy life after death.

The Nirvana of Buddhism could be equated to the "Being filled with the Holy Spirit" of Christianity, and they could BOTH be described as a Spiritual Orgasm.
