nirodha

A Dictionary of Buddhism | 2004 | | Copyright

nirodha (Pāli, cessation). Name given to the third noble truth concerned with the cessation of suffering (duḥkha). This states that, by putting an end to greed, hatred, and delusion, an end to suffering can be found. Nirodha is synonymous with nirvāṇa, but the word nirvāṇa does not itself occur in the formulation of the Four Noble Truths.

Nirodha

The Concise Oxford Dictionary of World Religions | 1997 | | Copyright

Nirodha (Skt., ni + rodha, ‘obstruction’).
1. In Hinduism, the state of intense concentration in which the distinction of subject and object is destroyed, so that the mind attains realization of non-duality.

2. In Buddhism, the cessation of dukkha (the third of the Four Noble Truths); it is thus also equated with nirvāna.
