Hi Sönam,
in the Nibbana Sutta (Ud 8.3) The Buddha expresses nibbana this way (emphasis added):
There is, bhikkhus, a not-born, a not-brought-to-being, a not-made, a not-conditioned. If, bhikkhus, there were no not-born, not-brought-to-being, not-made, not-conditioned, no escape would be discerned from what is born, brought-to-being, made, conditioned. But since there is a not-born, a not-brought-to-being, a not-made, a not-conditioned, therefore an escape is discerned from what is born, brought-to-being, made, conditioned.
nibbana is a not-conditioned dhamma. because there is a not-conditioned dhamma (nibbana), escape from the conditioned dhamma (samsara) is possible. nibbana itself does not appear, such a term does not apply. but certainly the attainment of nibbana can be realised, because the attainment is conditioned, the attainment depends on causes. it is important to not confuse that.
best wishes, acinteyyo
