,
parinirvana
(
Sanskrit
--
Pali

nirvana
, traditionally understood to be within reach only upon the death of someone who attained complete
enlightenment
. It is the ultimate goal of Buddhist practice and implies a release from the
cycle
of deaths and rebirths as well as the dissolution of all
mental aggregates
(form, feeling, perception, mental fabrications and consciousness). The parinirvana of
Gautama Buddha
is depicted in the
Mahaparinibbana Sutta
and the
Mahaparinirvana Sutra
.
