Is "Nirvana" of buddhism and "Moksha" of hinduism same ?

Question

otherwise what are the differences ?

Answer 1

I will say the same, in unity there is peace, now come a little closer Road Runner these tired old coyote eyes aren't what they use to be.

Answer 2

How they can be the same? If same there will not be 2 separate religions. Buddhists feel that NIrvana is ultimate and final Hindus feel Moksha. If you try to understand the meaning and definition of Nirvana and Moksha there will be some difference. Even among Hindus the word Moksha is defined differently by followers of Advaita, Visistadwaita and Dwaita schools.

Answer 3

Both are different. Nirvana of buddhism going into saintly samadhi with life and Moskha is the result of good deeds and the state given by God. Self realisation is nothing but Moksha.

Answer 4

Nirvana is state of mind that you disown everything. In extreme cases, people disown everything including their cloths. Bahubali is the example.

Moksha is a state that the soul attains after all the births that it has to take due to its 'Karma'. Once a soul attains Moksha, it will not take any form on Earth.

Answer 5

Moksha or Mukti in Hinduism refers to liberation from the cycle of death and rebirth and all of the suffering and limitation of worldly existence. In Hindu philosophy, it is seen as a transcendence of phenomenal being, of any sense of material consciousness, time, space, and causation (karma).

In Buddhism, the concept of liberation, Nirvana, is slightly different from Hinduism. It occurs when the self is extinguished from the cycle of rebirth. (In Hinduism too, the cycle of rebirth ends on liberation.)-

Answer 6

"Nirvana" and "Moksha" both are same. it's just a matter of name in different-different religion. Both means "if u get Nirvana or Moksha , U'll nevar reborn on earth and don't feel any kind of sadness and bad things of life."

Answer 7

Yes and No. Nirvana is when you reach complete happiness and well being Moksha is when you are a roaming free spirt.

Answer 8

Absolutely NO.

Nirvana is impersonalist theory that is actually denying the personal existence of God. Nirvana means formless or getting out of the bodily conception of God. This is a false theory propagated by buddhism, by Lord Buddha himself, an incarnation of Sri Krishna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead. It was said for a certain purpose. Since at that time, mass slaughtering of animals in the name of God and religion was going on, Lord Buddha proposed non-violence through the denial of Scriptures, God and religion. This was only for a special purpose.
But liberation means getting liberated or freed from the problems of material life. Once one is liberated, he/she is freed from the pains and happiness of this material body. He does not have to come back again to this material world. But he is not admitted to the Spiritual World, Vaikunta. liberated people have a different place. Only loving devotional service, buddhi yoga or bhakti yoga can take us back home, back to Godhead, Goloka Vrindavana as affirmed by Sri Krishna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead in Bhagavad Gita and many scriptures.

So, they are not same. They are totally different

Answer 9

Actual meaning of Nirvana is Nakedness.
but in Buddhist's term it means being without any ego.
The one who eradicated ego attain mukthi(Moksha) in Hinduism.(No birth cycle)
So both are same.
Nirvana, Moksha, Mukthi, Enlightenment are all same.

Answer 11
