As for different goals besides personal enlightenment Mahayana Buddhism teaches that you should strive to "liberate all sentient beings." Meaning you should help others reach enlightenment.

One can't actually help others reach enlightenment until one has the knowledge and understanding to be able to know how to do that, however. If one wishes to save others from drowning, first one has to learn to swim oneself !

As this Beginners forum is for learning about the core teachings of the Buddha which are the basis of all traditions, any additional questions about Mahayana/Vajrayana Buddhism can be asked and answered in our tradition specific forum for that purpose.

Thanks
