Nirvana of excess - Uyonehan

Japanese: 有余涅槃 - うよねはん

〘Noun〙 Buddhist term. In Hinayana Buddhism, it refers to the fact that even after one has completely cut off all earthly desires, the physical body still remains as a foundation, and it is believed that one reaches Nirvana upon death, which is called Keshinmetchi (the cessation of wisdom and the extinction of the ashes body) . In Mahayana Buddhism, it refers to the end of the causes of birth and death in this world, and Nirvana is when the ends of birth and death are fulfilled and one attains the eternity of a Buddha. *A man named Takezawa Sensei (1924-25) (Nagayo Zenro) Takezawa Sensei's Walk "Until I Enter That Eternal Nirvana" (The Lotus Sutra - Understanding of Faith)

〘名〙仏語。小乗仏教では、煩悩(ぼんのう)を断ちつくしても、まだ肉体がよりどころとして残っていることをさし、死によって無余涅槃に至るとし、これを灰身滅智(けしんめっち)という。大乗仏教では、この世の生死の因が尽きることをいい、生死の果てが尽きて、仏の永遠性を得ることを無余涅槃とする。※竹沢先生と云ふ人（1924‐25）〈長与善郎〉竹沢先生の散歩「その永劫な有余涅槃に入るまで」〔法華経‐信解品〕
