Who here knows someone who has accomplished Nirvana, or Moksha even?]

If so, whats their secret? O_o

Well, I guess it really depends on the religion.

But you get the point.

Naturally, of course. yes.gif

I think you can get close to Nirvana by practicing asceticism.
Pharoah
Whats that? O_o

Yelekiah
ascetic:A person who renounces material comforts and leads a life of austere self-discipline, especially as an act of religious devotion.

You can fast as a form of religious devotion. Or just torture yourself.

Yelekiah
That and removing desire from one's life.

~~~

moska is the liberation from the cycle of birth and death.

and

nirvana is the “extinction” – the soteriological goal of Buddhism; the final cessation of rebirth into suffering existence.

well, those are from a defining search on google, their were more, but most went into to much detail that got slightly confusing. so i went with the more basic definitions happy.gif
