Advanced Thai Conversation (Nibbana Topic) : The Concept of Salvation
Thai Language (NIBBANA Topic) : ธรรมทาน ๒๕ The Concept of Salvation
Different prophets came up with different religious concepts and ideals, and each claimed his thinking as the way of true spiritual emancipation. Because of this reason, when we consider and ponder upon the purpose of religions of the present days, we will discover that the most superb thing about every religion is 'spiritual salvation'. It is the same in all religions even though the idea, concept or teaching may be called by different names, the meaning itself emphasizes on the salvation from all sufferings.
In Buddhism there is also the concept of salvation which is known as 'vimutti' or liberation and 'nibbana' which means 'the ability to attain a complete extinguishing (of craving or desire)' without leaving any mental defilement behind. 'Nissarana' which means 'the ability to step out of ................' is just another word implying salvation.
