E., Album Kern, p. 104,Google Scholar and Dahlmann, Father J., Nirvāna (Berlin, 1896),Google Scholar assign to it the meaning of an extinction of all personal life in an impersonal absolute, it then becomes “un simple équivalent de brahman”. This, in my opinion, is quite right with regard to the Mahāyānistic idea, but not the Hinayānistic one. Cp. my Conception of Bnddhist Nirvāna, Leningrad, 1926, p. 35 ff.Google Scholar
