Glossary of Buddhism
In Buddhism, parinirvana (Sanskrit: parinirvāṇa; Pali: parinibbāna) is final nirvana at the physical death the end of the re-occurence of the aggregates, and therefore the end of rebirth, of someone who has attained nirvana during their lifetime. It implies a release from Saṃsāra, karma and rebirth as well as the dissolution of the skandhas.
In some Mahāyāna scriptures, notably the Mahāyāna Mahāparinirvāṇa Sūtra, parinirvāṇa is described as the realm of the eternal true Self of the Buddha.
In the Buddha in art, the event is represented by a reclining Buddha figure, often surrounded by disciples.
