Eschatology(end time) is that the doctrine of the last thing. It appears in the final section of faith and organized theologies. It has a big role on how we should live our lives and what are to expect to occur in the future. Soteriology(salvation) is that the doctrine of salvation,this christian theology which treats of christ for the world. Christianity believe that to get soteriology you must salvate by grace alone. These two theologies relate one to each other because at the end of our lifetime we must have and earn salvation to live the immortal (heavenly) life after death.
Nirvana according to Buddhism which a person break free the suffering of the world and become aware of his or her individuality with the universe. Nirvana considered
By learning from the Dharma, understanding The Four Noble Truths, three jewels, living by the five precepts, and following the eightfold path will assist to the completed path of enlightenment. Nirvana, which means to extinguish or unbind, is when a Buddhist has reached a state in which he has gained knowledge and freedom from what ever has bound him from reaching nirvana. Whether it be passion, desire, jealousy, egotism, or ignorance. When nirvana has been reached then there will be complete release from the samsara and karmic cycles.
Epithets of nirvana in Buddhism include "the free," "the immortal," and "the unconditioned." Nirvana is attainable in life, and the death. of one who has attained it is termed parinirvana, or complete nirvana.
Like all Buddhism, Zen is a means by which one can achieve Buddha-consciousness, or in effect "total-consciousness." "Total-consciousness" means being aware of the true self and its role in regard to the infinite cosmos of all existence. This awareness allows one insight into or perhaps understanding of the Tao, the essential singularity to which all things belong. Understanding the Tao, for Taoists and Zen Buddhists alike, is the equivalent of Nirvana, loosely described as the utmost fulfillment of one’s existence.
Similar to Hinduism, the cycle of rebirth is undesirable and life is marked by suffering in Buddhism (p.177). Suffering is referred to as dukkha and Buddhism seeks to end suffering through nirvana.While techniques vary, Buddhists share common core beliefs. Suffering is the problem and nirvana is seen as the
first part of the Buddhist salvation. Knowing that all is futile and there is nothing externally that
Buddha believed that by following the Eightfold Path, one could fulfill and find legitimacy in the Four Noble Truths, and reach Nirvana; the release from selfishness and pain. Like the Hindu, Buddha believed in reincarnation, a major factor in achieving Nirvana, as...
Nirvana is a word that is commonly used in Buddhism with varied meanings depending on the use. It means the state of blowing out from certain detractors in life. To “blow out” has great meaning and refers wholly to the extinguishing or dispelling of oneself from certain characters that are considered to be iniquitous. It is characterized by peace of mind and it saves man from the sufferings, the cycles of rebirth, and death. Nirvana could only be achieved by individuals who observed the laid down rules and detached themselves from sin. Moksha is a common belief in the Hindu religion and it describes a state where one’s soul connects with god’s soul. In the Hindu religion, achieving moksha removes one from the cycle of life and death, which is the state of reincarnation as one moves from one life to the next. In essence, moksha is a state of unification of one’s soul with that of the creator, therefore achieving oneness of atman and Brahman. This essay discusses the various similarities and differences that exist between Buddhist Nirvana and Hindu Moksha.
Nirvana- “a transcendent state in which there is neither suffering, desire, nor sense of self, and the subject is released from the effects of karma and the cycle of death and rebirth. It represents the final goal of Buddhism.”
Though both Hinduism’s moksha and Buddhism’s nirvana are more or less synonymous, they both hold distinctive differences in the path that leads followers to the end goal of enlightenment from samsara. In Hinduism, “letting go” or releasing from samsara by way of the realization that “atman is Brahman” is what moksha is defined as. Contrastingly, Buddhism involves extinguishing feelings that cause suffering and thus, achieving
Paradise. Mankind free of sin, free of troubles, free of unpredictability. But is paradise truly nirvana? Is the infinite routine, complete perfection, and determination of every outcome truly satisfying? In the imperfect creation of man, the answer is no.

For Buddhists, regardless their country, Nirvana is the ultimate objective they want to reach. It is characterized by the end of suffering and so, the achievement of complete peace. It is also associated with the freedom for desire, hatred and delusion, which are the three unwholesome roots. After this liberation, the cycle of rebirth is over and this, since the beginning of the religion until now. I will argue that Nirvana is the ultimate end for a Buddhist. To support this idea, I will mention the beginning of a timeless existence, the final closure of the cycle of life, the end of suffering and the closing of the imagination structure.

Buddhism is the philosophy of being awake and conscious in life. Siddhartha Gautama, or Buddha, shared his wisdom with the world and believed that the path to enlightenment was a process of elimination. These eliminations can be conquered through a process called Zen. He believe it was the only way to get rid of the burdens human’s carry of, ignorance, desire and suffering. Buddhism is almost the complete opposite of our western world because our society requires us to act a certain way in order to thrive or even survive.
Ecclesiology is derived from two Greek words meaning “assembly” and “word” –when the two combine it means the study of the church. The church is the congregation of believers who are God’s people.
