On February 15, 2017 Buddhists of the Mahayana tradition observe the Parinirvana Day in order to commemorate Buddha’s death and his entry into Nirvana. Some Buddhists celebrate this day on February 8th. With the achievement of Nirvana Buddha broke the cycle of suffering and rebirth because of his enlightenment, and thus reached the highest happiness. Achieving Nirvana, whether alive or after death, is the goal of Buddhist faith.
