Is Nirvana beyond life and death?

>Nirvana is not an annihilation
>also, you and your consciousness are just constituted by a series of transient aggregates which are obliterated and which don't continue in nirvana

It's the normal ascetic connection between self-denial and bliss.

Nirvana is just the elimination of narrative from your life experience.

>> No.15675079

the aggregates are not obliterated though, it's more like a de-automization of the process of aggregation

>Here is an extremely brief history of Buddhism: A man called Gotama Buddha led his followers to the edge of a precipice. After he jumped off, acrophobia and vertigo eventually got the better of the Buddhists and they started backing away from the cliff’s edge, while giving plausible justifications for this action, or reaction (that is, for backing away, not for jumping off). A few hundred years later a monk named Nagarjuna, along with the anonymous authors/forgers of the Prajnaparamita Sutras, came along and led Buddhists back to the precipice. Shortly after this, in the same sort of reaction as before, acrophobic Buddhists started backing away again, overflowing with brilliant, sophisticated philosophical excuses. Occasionally, every few-to-several centuries, some group of Buddhists or another marches boldly back to the cliff’s edge, with each of these acts of fearlessness representing a resurgence of Dharma in this world. All those audacious, stick-wielding Zen masters of medieval China would serve as a good example of such a case. But such resurgences generally do not last very long, since standing at the edge of a cliff, overlooking an immense void (let alone jumping off), can be profoundly scary, even life-threatening. Most Buddhists, along with most of everyone else, keep a safe distance from that precipice, with most of those who approach it being eccentrics and radicals. It is not for the weak of heart. Then again, most are oblivious to its very existence.
