A Concept of Nibbāna in Buddhism: A Fresh Interpretation
Keywords:
Nibbāna, Engaged Buddhism, Engaged Buddhist Leader
Abstract
In this paper, I shall find out a fresh way of interpreting the concept of Nibbāna particularly by modern engaged Buddhists. The modern engaged Buddhists shall be chosen under the aspects of Buddhist schools. They are good exemplars in their respective traditions such as A.T. Aryaratne and Buddhadasa in Theravāda tradition, Most Venerable Thich Nhat Hanh in Mahāyāna Buddhism, H.H. Dalai Lama in Vajrayāna and Dr. Ambedkar in Neo Buddhism.
