Nirvana is the generous, magnanimous state of existing where all aspects of human experience come in and are digested, moment after moment, creating complete peace. Nirvana is not enlightenment; it is everyday life based on wisdom. Standing in the realm of wisdom and seeing truth, you think deeply: How can I build up everyday life? This is our aspiration or hope. That is called arousing bodhi-mind.
