涅槃

Nirvana, is the highest spiritual state and the ultimate goal of Buddhism. The word comes from nir meaning `stop' and và meaning `to blow'. Thus nirvana is the extinguishing or blowing out of the fires of greed, hatred and ignorance.One attains nirvana and at death is no longer subject to rebirth and all the suffering that it entails.
涅槃是佛教最高的精神狀態和最終目標。 這個詞來自nir，意思是“停止”，và意為“吹”。 因此，Nirvana是熄滅貪、嗔、癡火焰的意思。一個人到達涅槃，死後會脫離輪迴和所有的痛苦。

Meditating a Yidam deity is central in Vajrayana.

Yidams are the unblemished reflection of the primordial and innate true nature of our mind
