Question

What we get by the cessation of three kinds of sufferings?

• A. Ānandātīśaya
• B. Brahamānanda
• C. Nirvāṇa
• D. Bodhisattva bhūmiḥ

Hint:

Remember: cessation of 3 sufferings (dukkha-dukkhatā, vipariṇāma-dukkha, saṁskāra-dukkha) = Nirvāṇa.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Step 1: Recall the three types of sufferings.
Bauddha darśan meṁ duḥkha ko tīn rūpoṁ meṁ vyākhyā kiyā gayā hai—(i) Dukha-dukkhatā (direct suffering),
(ii) Vipariṇāma-dukkha (suffering due to change), aur (iii) Saṁskāra-dukkha (suffering due to conditioned existence).
Step 2: What happens after cessation of all three?
In tīn prakār ke duḥkha kā samūl nirodh hī Nirvāṇa hai.
Nirvāṇa arthāt tr̥ṣṇā, kleśa aur punarjanma cakra kā ant—param śānti aur muktī.
Step 3: Analysis of options.
- Ānandātīśaya: Ānand kā atiśaya avasthā darśāyī gayī hai, par yeh Nirvāṇa kā synonym nahīṁ.
- Brahamānanda: Vedāntic/Upaniṣadic concept hai, Bauddha pariśrama se alag.
- Nirvāṇa: Bilkul sahi—tīn prakār ke duḥkha ke samāpti par yahi prāpti hotī hai.
- Bodhisattva bhūmiḥ: Bodhisattva mārga ke daśa bhūmiyoṁ kā ullekh hai, par duḥkha-nivṛtti kā ant phal Nirvāṇa hai.
Step 4: Conclusion.
Is prashn kā saṭīk uttar hai Nirvāṇa.
