Many later Buddhist texts describe nirvana as identical with
anatta with complete "emptiness, nothingness".
[144][145][146][note 19] In some texts, the state is described with greater detail, such as passing through the gate of emptiness (
sunyata) – realising that there is no soul or self in any living being, then passing through the gate of signlessness (
animitta) – realising that nirvana cannot be perceived, and finally passing through the gate of wishlessness (
apranihita) – realising that nirvana is the state of not even wishing for nirvana.
