I’m not sure what the 1st paragraph is referring to, but I didn’t assume that. It’s not a location, it’s a state, but the logic applies either way bc you cease to be incarnate. It’s a fundamental change and in an eternal universe, if even 1 person finds a way to transcend
What you’re describing re: the asymptotic approach toward 2 is not Nirvana. It’s good, but it’s not what the Mahayana monks vow to accomplish. Incomplete solutions are condemned quite strongly in the Buddha’s biographies.
