Hi gerrardthor,

The approach I have to the issue is like this:

I get feelings of Nihlism

Maybe it is not about Nihilism but just a causation toward quenching dukkha.

At the sutta quoted, where it is read as 'feeling ceases', 'craving ceases' it can be better to read 'feeling quenches', 'craving quenches'.

Feelings -or more correctly, sensations- will be there always but mindfulness about them prevents from craving and then, that quenches too.

to exist to me is to suffer. I am not sure about this. Maybe to exist constantly clinging is what results in Dukkha.

So I just equate Nirvana with death even though Nirvana is something beyond death Deliverance from Dukkha states of mind -nibbana- happens when we stop craving/clinging.

It is just teaching how to quench a specific mental proliferation that leads to Dukkha. That is all.

Thanks for reading,
