 The way to attain Nirvana is by following and practicing the [[Noble Eightfold Path]].Mahayana Buddhist schools de-emphasize the traditional view (still practiced in [[Theravada]]) of the release from individual Suffering ([[Dukkha]]) and attainment of Awakening (Nirvana).In Mahayana, the Buddha is seen as an eternal, immutable, inconceivable, [[omnipresent]] being.
