When we experience something that pleases some aspect of our senses (i.e. the smell of a great perfume, the taste of a good meal, the site of a beautiful piece of art or landscape) then some small version of nirvana has been reached for that aspect of our sense. That is how I view it. From what I know of Buddhism, Nirvana is considered a perfect state.

I am an Buddhist (though not a monk) and I definitely eat spicy food. As Steve said, enlightenment isn't after lifetimes of austerities. Enlightenment is right here, now, in this very moment. Enjoy it! Some Buddhist monks may not eat spicy food.

We are all experiencing enlightenment and bliss right now, we just don't realize it. :-P

Do you have to lose your senses to experience enlightenment and bliss?

Hell no… you don’t HAVE to do anything to experience enlightenment and bliss. We are all experiencing enlightenment and bliss right now, we just don’t realize it.
