Whether cultivators really existed was a question worth exploring. In the Buddhist tradition, self-cultivation is the attainment of nirvana through self-reflection, the practice of ethics, the pursuit of inner peace, and transcendence. Nirvana is one of the highest goals of Buddhism. It is considered to be a state beyond the secular world. Only through hard work can one achieve this goal. The practitioners in Buddhism are real. They gradually transcend suffering and troubles through self-reflection and cultivation to achieve inner peace and relief. However, in reality, cultivation was more of an idealized concept than a specific lifestyle or practice. Many people might view cultivation as a spiritual pursuit or a way of self-improvement rather than a practical action. Therefore, whether cultivators really existed or not might depend on one's understanding and definition of cultivation. Cultivation was a complex and abstract concept, and its practice required deep thought and practice. In real life, cultivators might be an idealized concept rather than a universal phenomenon.
