Once again, this is a very scholarly article, but also very valuable for understanding religion and everyday Buddhism; take your time with it and use the questions to guide you on what you should focus on. Explain the difference between laukika and lokottara. What does the term “agama” mean? What does “Nirvana” mean? What does the term “pin” mean and how does it relate to Nirvana?
