Explanation:

To correct the text, we analyze the definitions:

• Samsara is the cycle of death and rebirth (causing suffering).
• Nirvana is what enlightened people experience after death (ends samsara).
• Enlightenment ends the cycle of samsara.

1. "stuck in the cycle of nirvana" is wrong. Replace "nirvana" with "samsara" (as samsara is the cycle one is stuck in).
2. "entered a state of samsara" is wrong. Replace "samsara" with "nirvana" (as enlightened people experience nirvana after death, ending samsara).

Answer:

• Replace "nirvana" (in "stuck in the cycle of nirvana") with "samsara".
• Replace "samsara" (in "entered a state of samsara") with "nirvana".
