Don't know if it will answer your question, but check it out. The quote I used in this article was from the woman who suffered a stroke and because one of her brain hemispheres was damaged, the other side took her to a place where all was good. She referred to it as "Nirvana" and made the statement later that "Nirvana is just a breath away!" Peace ... @dwwood76 — I’ll be putting up a new post today abut the middle way.

And if so, will not this desire for Nirvana keep one from ever reaching that state? Must one stop trying to achieve Nirvana in order to achieve it? Is there a middle path that must be threaded? I know next to nothing about Buddhism, but that is one question I was really curious about. I hope the answer does not simply involve the creation or redefining of terms.
