@Nikolay_Gnatyuk

I got your point. I agree that Theravada insists that Nibbana is a paramattha dhamma. And I can understand this point of view. The question is only in the interpretation of the nature of this Dhamma. In this regard, I am on the side of the teachers I have mentioned. They also claim that Nibbana is a paramattha dhamma and the object of knowledge of the path and fruit.

Its fine if you want to agree with them, its just at odds with the commentaries etc. Anyway we are about to go in circles.

Please remember the word ‘Nibbana’ has various senses. As a few examples, it can be used to refer to

Jhana (vikkhambhana nirodha)

Phala citta (paṭippassaddhi nirodha)

Asankhata dhatu

The latter is what is relevant to this discussion
