How is nirvana in Buddhism similar to moksha in Hinduism?

Nirvana and Moksha are similar in that they are both ultimate goals in practicing the religions. Nirvana is the process of achieving total inner peace in oneself, and it is the ultimate goal of Buddhism. Moksha, likewise, is the release from samsara (cycle of death and rebirth) which helps Hindus find total peace in themselves (nirvana), which is the ultimate goal of Hinduism. So, the two are both ultimate goals (one being the ultimate goal of Buddhism and one being the ultimate goal of Hinduism), and they both are centered around this idea of finding total peace in oneself.
Hope this helps! I learned about the Eastern Civilzations last year so the concepts are still pretty fresh in my mind. :)

Nirvana in Buddhism and Moksha in Hinduism are both ultimate spiritual goals representing liberation from suffering and the cycle of rebirth. Nirvana focuses on achieving enlightenment and inner peace, while Moksha aims for union with the universal spirit. Both paths involve righteous living and understanding one's true nature to attain these states of peace and freedom.
