In the final part of the Right Knowledge and Right Liberation Workshop, Ajahn Brahmali, Ajahn Sujato and Venerable Sunyo discusses Right Liberation:

• Liberation from what exactly?
  o Defilements
  o Suffering = the five aggregates = existence
  o Liberation in both respects
• Liberation and Nibbāna (SN 23.1, SN 1.2)
• The meaning of “Nibbāna”
• The two types of Nibbāna (Iti 44, Thag 15.2)
  o Nibbāna at enlightenment
  o Nibbāna at passing away
• Nature of Nibbāna
  o Awakening vs. enlightenment
  o Only potsherds being left (SN 12.51)
  o All feelings become cool at the end of life (MN 140)
• Anattā: no entity comes to an end, only suffering (MN 72, SN 22.85)
• Conceit and enlightenment (MN 140, Ud 1.10)
• To help others, aim for enlightenment yourself; get out of the mud (MN 8)
• Some say Nibbāna is cessation, others that it is a kind of eternalism; so how do we choose?
  o We need to zoom out and take a bird’s eye view
  o The safe bet: let go of as much as possible. “Nothing is worth holding on to” (MN 37)
  o The view of cessation of existence is closer to non-clinging (MN 60)
• What’s the purpose of extinguishment? (SN 23.1)
