二种涅盘

(二種涅槃, 二种涅盘)

Two nirvanas:

(1) [lang id =1028]有餘涅槃 also [lang id =1028]有餘依 That with a remnant; the cause [lang id =1028]因 has been annihilated, but the remnant of the effect [lang id =1028]果 still remains, so that a saint may enter this nirvana during life, but have to continue to live in this mortal realm till the death of his body.

(2) [lang id =1028]無餘涅槃 or [lang id =1028]無餘依 Remnantless nirvāṇa, without cause and effect, the connection with the chain of mortal life being ended, so that the saint enters upon perfect nirvāṇa on the death of the body; cf. [lang id =1028]智度論 31. Another definition is that Hīnayāna has further transmigration, while Mahāyāna maintains final nirvana. "Nothing remnaining" is differently interpreted in different schools, by some literally, but in Mahāyāna generally, as meaning no further mortal suffering, i.e. final nirvāṇa.
