Nibbana Tarot
with Nina
I use tarot as a clarifier of reality. It’s an intuitive tool to help us see things as they really are. I hope to share this with you and bring you good will.
Readings: I am available for individual and group tarot card readings. Tarot is an esoteric and non-commercial practice for me. However I feel it’s important for the receiver, the querent, to pay something. So, in exchange for a reading, I kindly request a donation to meaningful cause that promotes loving kindness, relief from harm, and equanimity for all living beings.

Unbinding
Nibbāna is often cited in the Buddhist Pali Canon as well as the sacred Middle Indo-Aryan language of Theravada Buddhism of India and my personal practice of Vipassana Meditation. From Thanissaro Bhikkhu and published in Noble Strategies and on dhammatalks.com:
“The image underlying nibbana is one of freedom. The Pali commentaries support this point by tracing the word nibbana to its verbal root, which means "unbinding." What kind of unbinding? The texts describe two levels.
One is the unbinding in this lifetime, symbolized by a fire that has gone out but whose embers are still warm. This stands for the enlightened arahant, who is conscious of sights and sounds, sensitive to pleasure and pain, but freed from passion, aversion, and delusion.
The second level of unbinding, symbolized by a fire so totally out that its embers have grown cold, is what the arahant experiences after this life. All input from the senses cools away and he/she is totally freed from even the subtlest stresses and limitations of existence in space and time.”
