The goal or aspiration of every living being is to experience happiness. There are two kinds of happiness and hence two kinds of goal - temporary and ultimate. Temporary happiness is the happiness that can be experienced by humans and gods; it is the limited happiness that can be experienced while beings remain bound within samsara. Ultimate happiness is the pure, eternal happiness of liberation and full enlightenment.
