Found a new interpretation of Nibbana (Sanskrit: Nirvana) on Suttacentral by EBT people.
For me those that reached Nirvana are actually spirit that went to another planet which is more advanced. I mean the point was transcend this planet. Samsara of this planet. Buddha also said he found out many things which he didn’t want to declare because it doesn’t help in the spiritual life.

Hiriottappasampannā,
sukkadhammasamāhitā;
Santo sappurisā loke,
devadhammāti vuccare.

There is a sutta that Buddha use many synonyms of Nibanna. Yet people still want to imagine their own definitions. :mrgreen:

Paramattha damma is named (nama) as
Rupa, citta, cetasika and nibbana.
Rupa, citta, cetasika are known as conditioned realities and nibbana is named as unconditioned reality , hence does not arise in the mind or vingnana.
It is seen with the mind as a state of no desires (nir without vana desires) .
As of paticca samuppada birth and death does not arise in the state of nirvana.
