The Goal of Buddhism...

"The goal of Budddhism is perfection and enlightenment - to become a
Fully Awakened and Fully Energized One, a Buddha, and thus to realize
the Threefold Body, the Tri-Kaya, in completeness. To this mighty end,
the aim of the practice is to transmute the normal human consciousness
and energy into the Transcendental Wisdom and the Great Vitality. Two
methods of transmuting the human nature into the transcendental nature
are offered by Tibetan Buddhism. One method lays stress upon 'Practice
of Mind' (the Path without Form, or the Mahamudra). The other method
lays stress upon 'Practice of Energy' (the Path with Form, as
represented by the Six Yogas). By means of different techniques, or
approaches in the practice, both methods or paths lead to the same
supramundane goal." - Garma Chang
