The ultimate aim is the attainment of complete Buddhahood, a state of perfect awakening realized for the benefit of all sentient beings. This goal is not limited to personal escape from suffering, but rather to embody full enlightenment with its distinctive qualities of wisdom, compassion, and skillful means. In this vision, liberation is inseparable from the responsibility to guide others, so that awakening naturally expresses itself as an active concern for the welfare of all.

This path is articulated as the bodhisattva way, in which one aspires to Buddhahood precisely in order to liberate all beings from suffering. The cultivation of wisdom and compassion to their fullest potential becomes the central discipline, shaping every aspect of practice and intention. Perfect Buddhahood, as exemplified by Śākyamuni Buddha, is thus understood as omniscient awareness united with boundless compassion, capable of responding appropriately to the diverse needs of beings. The fruition of this path is a Buddha who can effectively lead innumerable beings toward freedom, so that personal enlightenment and universal liberation are realized as two sides of the same ultimate goal.
