Different types of "Nibbāna"

[renaldo]

@Paññādhammika

Thus, I would rank nirodha samapatti as higher happiness compared to even perceiving nibbana.

So attaining nirodha-samāpatti should be seen as higher than attaining nibbāna? I think I understand.

But what definition are you using for nibbāna here? In previous conversations, you didn’t seem to understand that nibbāna is a paramattha dhamma and became confused when it was explained to you. So are you still describing nibbāna as absolute nothingness in this sense as you were last week?

@Paññādhammika

Sort of like the highest level of nothing in the video. Not even the possibility of something appearing.

No mind, no body, nothing else. End of cognition means end of even ways of describing parinibbāna. Hence that one sutta where after the 6 sense bases ends without remainder, no profileration can be done. The important thing to note is end without remainder. No mind to see parinibbāna after death of arahants. But while alive, arahants can perceive nibbāna.
