Parinibbāna

Dalam Buddhisme, istilah parinirvana (Sanskerta: parinirvāṇa; Pali: parinibbāna) umumnya digunakan untuk mengacu kepada nirvana-setelah-kematian, yang terjadi pada kematian dari tubuh seseorang yang mencapai nirvana semasa hidupnya. Parinirvana menyiratkan pembebasan dari Saṃsāra, karma, dan kelahiran kembali, serta hancurnya skandha.

Wafatnya Buddha, atau Mahaparinirvana, Gandhara abad ke-2-3.
