Cessation is often equated with nirvana, which can be described as the state of being in cessation or the event or process of the cessation. A temporary state of nirvana can be said to occur whenever the causes of suffering have ceased in our mind. Ajahn Buddhadasa, a wellknown Thai master of the last century, said that when village people in India were cooking rice and waiting for it to cool, they might remark, Wait a little for the rice to bee nibbana. So here, nibbana means the cool state of mind, free from the fires of the defilements. As Ajahn Buddhadasa remarked, The cooler the mind, the more Nibbana in that moment.
