This is what i think..
According to the teachings of the Buddhist and Hindu religions, attaining nirvana is to enter a state of supreme liberation, leaving behind the desires that perpetuate the cycle of death and rebirth.
The part in red does not makes sense ( missing verb ? sentence fragment ?
)leaving behind the desires that perpetuate the cycle of death and rebirth modifies entire clause preceding it.
Attain and Enter should be in parallel.
