223-Nirvana is for All- Buddhism in daily life

Nirvana is for All Buddhism with Heaven and Hell - Nirvana is for Everyone In Western culture, we think in terms of "heaven" and "hell." Food was heavenly; living with my wife is pure hell, or heaven on earth. We know exactly what "heaven" and "hell" mean. But what do "heaven" and "hell" mean to a Buddhist? From the Buddhist point of view, there is neither "heaven" nor "hell", because this already presupposes a "thinking", a division of things into "good" or "bad", into "evil" or "right". As a Buddhist, one should look at things, but not judge them. The ego makes the decisions for us, but the Buddha's way was to silence the ego, to stop having to put up with the ego chattering away all the time. Not to judge, but to accept things and people as they are, to live in the "now" and in the "here". Nirvana" is the state of nothingness, thinking and evaluating are over, the chattering ego is silenced, there is no more I, nothing exists. I am then in Nirvana when I have no more desires, feel no more limits. Nirvana is "heaven" and "hell" in the same land, in the same mind. It depends on the way of looking at it, on the point of view. So if you don't think in categories like "heaven" and "hell", but only "assume", then you are in Nirvana! We have the Nirvana in us! Do we find it?
