**Vimukti in Buddhism:** It is mainly manifested in its “nirvana” theory. The original meaning of Nirvana (nirvàoa in Sanskrit, nibbàna in Pali) is “extinguishing”. In Buddhism, its main meaning is removing troubles to achieve the highest state without any troubles, ie to obtain the supreme consciousness or liberation. Although various schools of Buddhism all discuss nirvana, the interpretations of nirvana are different.
