Interesting, Boleo 
Moksha is used interchangeably with nirvana, but differs from it. I see. That was very helpful! Thanks for sharing the wikipedia link.
I wish I had a year to go off on some sort of sabbatical and study Buddhism in depth At least to get a firm grasp of the basics. I guess I could study it on my own too.
I need a top ten book list for Buddhism.

And Buddhism is an awesome religion/practice/philosophy (whatever you would like to call it). I definately think it hits the nail on the head on so many levels.
