Buddhists teach that Spiritual seperation from the body
is the highest state for the human being
and Buddhists seek to attain that seperation
without suffering physical trauma or death.

Materialism: over-preoccupation with things at the physical level;
neglecting important aspects of ethical and Spiritual existence.

Nirvana: state of existence in which the Spirit has attained full awareness
of itself as a Spiritual Being. No longer experiences suffering due to misidentification
with the material universe.
