liberation (Skt: nirvana, or moksha; Tib: nyang-dä, or thar-pa)
The state of complete freedom from samsara; the goal of a practitioner seeking his or her own escape from suffering (see also Hinayana).
"Lower nirvana" is used to refer to this state of self-liberation, while "higher nirvana" refers to the supreme attainment
of the full enlightenment of buddhahood. Natural nirvana (Tib: rang-zhin nyang-dä) is the fundamentally pure nature of reality, where all things and events are devoid of any inherent, intrinsic or independent reality.
