Nibbana (adj.) 1. [Sk. nirvana] without forest, woodless J ii.358. — 2. [an abstr. fr. nibbāna, see nibbāna I.; cp. vana2. Freq. nibbāna as v. l. instead of nibbana] without cravings Sn 1131 (nikkāmo nibbano); Dh 283 (nibbanā pl.) Vv 5014 (better reading nibbāna, in phrase “vanā nibbānaŋ āgataŋ,” as found at A iii.346= Th 1, 691, although the latter has nibbanaŋ in text),

Nibbāna : (see vāyati) refers only to the (non— ) emittance of an odour, which could never be used for a meaning of “being exhausted”; moreover, one has to bear in mind that native commentators themselves never thought of explaining nibbāna by anything like blowing (vāta), but always by nis+vana (see nibbana). For Bdhgh’s defn of nibbāna see e. g. Vism 293. — The meanings of n. are: 1. the going out of a lamp or fire (popular meaning). — 2. health, the sense of bodily well— being (probably, at first, the passing away of feverishness, restlessness).

Malachy was an Irish monk, who, on a visit to Rome was said to have had a vision of all the future popes. He catalogued each one with a descriptive Latin phrase and reportedly entrusted it to Pope Innocent II in 1140. There was little, if any, mention of the prophecies for the next 400 years. In 1590, a Benedictine monk “discovered” them and published them five years later. The reason that Malachy’s prophecies have re-flourished is that proponents claim Malachy indicated that the current Pontiff, Benedict XVI is the “next to last pope”. Adherents say the next pope will be known as Peter the Roman and his reign will end in massive tribulation.

Dreams involving exhaustion, last stands, imminent betrayals, and fatal losses of discipline right before critical moments. Also a second dream on the sidelines of that first dream (I was in both but also watching myself in each from another dream level) — a very weird thing to do with nested vials of oil, and having to fish a small vial of fish oil out of a vial of tea tree oil inside a vial of vegetable oil.

“Every attempt, undertaken in a reverential spirit, to facilitate the labours of the inquirer after Scripture truth, deserves especial favour at the hands of those who may have the opportunity of directing public attention to such endeavours.”

Meeting with an octogenarian molecatcher a few weeks since, in the neighbourhood of Bridgwater, the old man volunteered the following account of the origin of moles, or wants as they are sometimes called in Somerset. “It was a proud woman, sir, too proud to live on the face of the earth, and so God turned her into a mole, and made her live under the earth; and that was the first mole.” My informant was evidently much confirmed in his belief, by the fact of “moles having (as he said) hands and feet like Christians.”
