SAMSARA VS NIRVANA

From a Buddhist perspective, all phenomena can be categorized as being in samsara or nirvana. That is to say, all of us, all beings, are either in the state of samsara or nirvana—there is nothing outside of these. Samsara describes our present state of existence, in which we are not free from suffering. Nirvana is the state of enlightenment, when we see everything as it truly is. It is the state of buddhahood. W hen one has complete realization, one is in nirvana. If not, one is in samsara.
