World of Nirvana is the world of the highest Absolute. Nirvana translates as lack of excitement. It is a state of liberation, of absolute peace. In the sutras, nirvana is referred to as the destruction of worldly desires. Nirvana is opposed to samsara, that is, Reality, Astral and Causal are samsara, and nirvana is not samsara. There are minor nirvana, nirvana with remainder, parinirvana, bodhinirvana and mahanirvana.

Minor Nirvana. Just nirvana. Single nirvana. A person who has reached nirvana comes to this achievement of nirvana (the first achievement of liberation) in a single way. Such a person is called «arhat» or «single-minded awakened». Minor nirvana can be conditionally divided into causal nirvana, astral nirvana and nirvana of the world of phenomena, in accordance with what spiritual level the «liberated» person has, and, accordingly, the experience of which world in a horizontal projection he stops (discards).

Nirvana with remainder. By «residue» in this term is meant «life», which the arhat has not yet discarded.

The structure of Nirvana

The structure of Nirvana

Parinirvana is the highest level of nirvana, «nirvana without remainder», and the independent existence of the True Ego; «pari» translates as «finally». Parinirvana does not relate to any of the worlds; therefore, it is impossible to be in a state of parinirvana and live at the same time. If an arhat immediately after reaching nirvana discards life, then he will fall into parinirvana. «Parinirvana» and «nirvana with a remainder» are antonyms.

World of bodhinirvana. The arhat, after reaching nirvana, does not stop at this, but expands his achievement, leading other personalities to achieve nirvana, and thus overcoming the bonds of other worlds, other delusions that he did not have before. Such a person is called a «bodhisattva». «Bodhi» is translated as «awakening, enlightenment», and «sattva» is translated as «being», a being striving for awakening. The Bodhisattva makes a shuttle movement: nirvana – samsara – again nirvana – again samsara – nirvana – and so on. Repeating the path of liberation doubles the experience of that person. Then triples. Then quadruples. And so on. In this way the individual has a wider and wider experience of liberation than just one-man nirvana. This state of expanding the experience of nirvana is called «bodhinirvana». In the world of bodhinirvana, in relation to the world of nirvana, one can single out the upper level: bodhiparinirvana, where a bodhisattva can go after death; and bottom. The lower bodhinirvana can also be conditionally divided into three levels, depending on which world experience is being destroyed: causal bodhinirvana, astral bodhinirvana, and bodhinirvana of the phenomenal world.
