It is every Buddhist's goal to achieve Nirvana. <a href="/wiki/The_Buddha" class="mw-redirect" title="The Buddha">The Buddha</a> described it as: </p> <blockquote> <p>“the far shore, the subtle, the very difficult to see, the unaging, the stable, the undisintegrating, the unmanifest, the unproliferated, the peaceful, the deathless, the sublime, the auspicious, the secure, the destruction of craving, the wonderful, the amazing, the unailing, the unailing state, the unafflicted, dispassion, purity, freedom, the unadhesive, the island, the shelter, the asylum, the refuge...” (SN 43:14) </p>
