“OK if it is a state of mind, then it is conditioned as all states come and go. But Nirvana is supposedly unconditioned. What do you make of that?” – e
At the base of Mind is found this luminosity which is for lack of better words, a state. And, this base of mind does not change (come and go). It is omnipresent. (see some of my entries above in my response to Matthijs) So, in that sense it [state – Nirvana] is equivalent to the Christian “Kingdom”. I believe that some confusion arises here when people hold a belief that Nirvana (or the Kingdom) can only be ‘entered’ upon death. I do not hold this belief.
