Reply To: Can Nibbana be considered one’s self?

Sorry, but I am confused. I understood this point: “Paticca Samuppada explains that the idea of an “everlasting self” (a “soul-type” entity) is an illusion. Each “existence” is created by the mind in previous lives. That is how the rebirth process continues.”

So what is the goal?

Good householder,

to end the pointless wandering on from birth, aging, sickness and decay, the everon grasping of what’s lost again, to end the burden of steady sacrificing and arrive at peace, at the deathless, the task with an end done.

This path starts and ends with good deeds, blameless deeds, as it’s the source for blameless joy, required for the path.
