These symbolic offerings are to remind followers that just as flowers- fruits will parish after a short while, the candles and incense sticks would burn out, so the life is subject to decay and destruction.
Some temples display small images of Buddha in front of the altar and allow devotees to pour water over them symbolic of the cleansing of the bad karma of the devotees.
These are- not to take life, not to steal, not to lie, not to imbibe liquor or other intoxicants and not to commit adultery.
Thus imbibing the principles of morality, simplicity and humility in there lives. Spotlight Blockchain a game changer for seed funding? Good location - accommodating staff - near D'Mall and Hobbit House! I booked the Native Hut for few nights but when i entered the room i got extreme cough attacks and had to vomit almost from the strong smell from mould.
Stay away from that Native Cottage! Me and my gf got transferred to a Bungalow, costs were very high for that but i accepted becuase we wanted to explore Boracay again after the cleanup-closure of Hotels and Beach. Although it was near the main street the reosrt was surpsingly quiet. Over the day there were constructions workers what is normal now in Boracay due to new design of streets and drainage. No issue for us because we spend the day outside at the beach. Unfortunately Boracay changed compared to our first visit in There was a bad smell from the drainage probably at the beach.
So i did not have a good feeling really to swim there in the water. We headed up to the end of station 1 where we knew a coral reef after approx. To our disappoinment we had to turn back because the water was not clear and dead corals. I had a great time staying at the Nirvana. The staff were awesome and made you feel more like friends than guests. I'm English speaking from USA and had no problems communicating with staff. The hotel room had two bedrooms upstairs with a full bathroom in between and a kitchenette and full bathroom on 1st floor.
The place is not a "resort" but we were not looking for that. I ate breakfast at the hotel just about everyday before leaving on the days adventure. Simple menu but tasty. If you don't mind walking minutes to the beach then this hotel should be a definite consideration. I enjoyed my stay at Nirvana Beach resort , the rooms were spacious , very clean and we felt very comfortable during our stay. We enjoyed the swimming pool. The hotel is very near the market , restaurants , bars and the beach.
I stayed in, Nirvana 2 bedroom apartment. Nirvana has an excellent staff. The appartment is reasobable quite and international guests. Sala does not have AC but only a fan which makes it little bit hot. However, the room AC gives better cooling if the sala door is kept close and the room door is kept open. The place is a typical family establishment located in a quiet garden area. Check-inn was easy and hassle free. Not a lot of papers and formalities like we experience too often in the Philippines.
The staff was friendly, easy and informal. Rooms they are all apartment style were pleasant and comfortable furnished. Everything worked as it is suppose to, hot water, air cons, electricity etc. The pool and bar area was very nice with good music and lots of ambience. The drinks were cold and the waitress attentive. There was even a grill there that guests could use for barbeque. The garden and the surroundings were also clean and very well maintained.
The overall impression was that this place is well functioning and makes guests feel easy and at home. We only regret that we were able to stay only a short time at this hotel.
Also, tourists who wish to stay a little longer than just a couple of days should book this hotel because the apartments are well equipped with much more space and privacy if you compare it to an ordinary hotel.
Was a great place to stay. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Room was very clean and tidy. The pool was not overly large but a nice place to relax and the kids loved it :- The breakfast was good and well priced if paying. If I was ever to go back to Boracay then this is a place I would happily stay at again. Thank you so much to all the staff.
You made us all feel very welcome We had a nice time at nirvana hotel. We were 7 adult and 2 child but we were able to conortably stay. They had 2 bedroom and a spacious sala with tv. Jusy make sure to bring insect repellant ecause there are plenty of mosquitos. We were able tO cook our own food at the kitchen which has everything we need.
Can't fault this hotel. Three friends shared the 2 bedroom large condo and it was a home away from home. Nothing was a problem for any of the staff from the security guards, cleaners and reception staff.
Nice and quiet even though on the busy road and all the noise from White Sands Beach. We would stay here again for sure if we even return to Boracay. Near to beach. Nirvana is very spacious, got security, near to Jollibee, Mc Donalds and market Talipapa. Easy access, 5min walking distance to the beach. The Villas is big, rooms are clean and well equipped with cooking utensils.
You get a very good choice of accommodation here and some have 3 levels with ample space for the family.
We stayed in three different types whilst here the last being a two bedroom bungalow. So practical for space and The Mall is literally one minute walk away. The pool is a little small but once you are in it who cares. I think it will be a struggle to find such accommodation at the same rate that is as practical as Nirvana. It is clean, extra towels, whatever is not a problem and the friendly Norwegian and Philipina Husband and Wife owners are always there on site.
I strongly recommend this place. We were comfortable with our stay in Nirvana standard condo. We were able to cooked our dinner and enjoy the rest of our stay for 2 days.
Staffs were accommodating. The beach is walking distance for around 3- 5 minutes. This place is cool. Philippines Hotels. Boracay Island Hotels. Boracay Island Resorts. Book Nirvana Beach Resort.

Jennelyn from Philippines Solo traveler. More about Nirvana Beach Resort. Show less. Amenities and facilities. Very good. Most talked about facilities Beach. Yet, Buddha considers desires i. These two things are considered the roots of suffering because humans are rarely ever satisfied or content. Once one desire is met, another desire is created. This is a vicious cycle. Dukkha means "that which is difficult to bear.
Determine the cause of suffering. Desire and ignorance are the root of suffering. For example, if you are sick, you are suffering. While you are sick, you desire to be well. Your unmet desire to be well is a greater form of suffering than just being sick. Any time you desire a thing, opportunity, person, or achievement that you cannot have, you are suffering.
The only guarantees in life aging, sickness, and death. Once you achieve or get something that you want, you will begin to desire something else. Your constant cravings keep you from achieving true happiness. End suffering in your life. Each of the four truths is a stepping stone. If all is suffering and suffering comes from your desires, then the only way to end suffering is by no longer having desires.
To end the suffering in your life, you must change your perception and learn to control your desires. Controlling your desires and cravings will allow you to live with freedom and contentment. Attain the end of suffering in your life. The end of suffering can be attained by traveling the Noble Eightfold Path.
First, you have to to have the right intentions and mindset. Secondly, you have to live out your right intentions in your everyday life. Lastly, you have to understand true reality and have the correct beliefs about all things. The eightfold path can be divided into three categories: wisdom right view, right intention , ethical conduct right speech, right action, right livelihood , and mental cultivation right effort, right mindfulness, right concentration. If desire is the causation of suffering, isn't all of life desire?
When we are hungry we desire food. When tired we desire sleep. How do we banish these desires without dying or losing our minds? Yes, you are right, all of that is driven by desire. There are three bases of desire: lobha greed , dosa aversion , and moha delusion. Desire within these three bases is acknowledged as the causation of suffering.
When you are hungry, it is okay to eat in the motivation of fulfilling daily nutrition necessity for doing the right effort. Do not eat more than you need because it gains greed lobha.
It's okay for you to desire to be free from these three bases, it's called right effort. It is also okay to read some Dhammapada verse. Not Helpful 9 Helpful If all Buddhists ultimately desire to attain Nirvana, then isn't that a contradiction if they can't attain it as long as they have desire? I am confused. Don't be confused by the word "desire" used to explain the causes of suffering with the "desire" used to describe one's wish or will.
An example of the former is our greed, some examples of the latter are birthday wishes and our ambition. Obsession about satisfying desire ultimately leads to all kinds of suffering, while fulfilling a wish keeps one's mind focused and directional. Once we make a wish, we may not be as obsessive as satisfying our desire to fulfill the wish. The "desire" to attain Nirvana is an aspiration to all Buddhists who have to be mindful of all conditions that may obstruct them to attain it, including their own "obsessive desire" to attain it.
Not Helpful 4 Helpful One of the tips on this page says, "Find what you enjoy and do more of it," but isn't that just indulging one's desires and, therefore, increasing suffering?
Finding what you enjoy more and doing more of it does not lead to nirvana. You need to free yourself from all defilements. The main cause for suffering is craving, which happens due to greed, ignorance and hatred. The best way to attain nirvana is meditating. Not Helpful 14 Helpful Achieving Nirvana will probably not be easy.
It may take a long time. Even if it feels impossible, keep trying. Helpful 0 Not Helpful 0. You can practice Buddhism on your own, but you may benefit from going to a temple and having a teacher. Don't rush to decide on a group or teacher. Always trust your own instinct with this and take your time. There are great teachers out there and some very unpleasant ones. Do your homework. The eightfold path is not a linear path. It is a journey that you travel every day.
Your path to enlightenment will be different from everyone else's, just as every snow flake takes a unique route through the sky. Try different methods of meditating, they're just tools and methods to use along the way.
A varied set of tools is useful at different times. Nirvana is attained when the misconception of the way the self and everything else exists ceases permanently. There are many methods to cause this can happen. None are right or wrong, better or worse. Sometimes Nirvana occurs spontaneously and sometimes it takes a lot of time and effort. Nobody else knows your path see the snowflake analogy above yet rarely will a teacher tell you to go to a different group and not their group.
The irony shouldn't be lost on you along your journey. Autonomous practise is essential in attaining nirvana. A teacher's role is to help you grow and become spiritually autonomous.
Their role is not to create co-dependency and regression to an infantile state, yet this is very very common.
Keep going, reflect on the benefits you get, even the slightest ones and remember them. They will be your motivation tools. Focus on the practise and the goal may come. Focus on the goal and the practise won't sustain.
Use the internet to find groups of awakened meditators. They are out there with resources to help you. Nirvana can be attained via any spiritual path within any religion, that is whether the religion or group believes in and teaches about Nirvana or not.
There are many examples of this happening. Submit a Tip All tip submissions are carefully reviewed before being published. Related wikiHows How to. How to. More References About This Article. Co-authored by:. Co-authors: Updated: July 15,
