The goal of dharma practice is twofold: first, seeking happiness; second, being liberated from samsara and eliminating suffering. Buddhism oriented towards the rebirth in the human and heavenly realms seeks worldly happiness of this life and all future lives; the Theravada seeks individual happiness; the Mahayana seeks ultimate, everlasting happiness for the sake of all sentient beings, which is the wisdom of the Buddha.
