In order for Siddhartha Gautama to become the Buddha, his belief in “self” needed to die. When this occurred, his true natural state of Nirvana was resurrected.
Nirvana is within all of us, but we fail to see it. Siddhartha's enlightenment is celebrated by Buddhists as an inspiration for us to continue our efforts towards that same goal.
