Merit
功德
It is said that the path of enlightenment needs the accumulation of merit and wisdom to be complete, just as a bird needs two wings to fly. Merit is that which accumulates as a result of good actions and intentions, producing good karma that carries over to later in life or to the next life.
證悟的路上需要功德資糧和智慧的累積才能完成，就像一隻鳥需要兩翼飛翔一樣。 功德是由良好的行為和意圖而積累的，進而產生善業，我們能帶著善業到往後的多生多世。

Nirvana
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。
