I would like to know about what a person's goals should be when they practice Buddhism.
hello again Seeker,

to give an answer to your question, directly:

in general, the person goal in practising Buddhism is to live a happy & peaceful life, i.e., free from sufferings & problems

in life, there are many situations & events that can lead to people developing suffering. Buddhism teaches ways of viewing life, realistically, so there can be freedom from suffering

or there can be the personal goal of wishing to conduct one's relationships and personal life more successfully. Buddhism offers skilful methods, here

or some people do not find happiness in the ordinary life of relationships, family, sensual & material pleasures, etc, so their personal goal is to develop inner happiness & peace through meditation

or many Buddhists believe in reincarnation and their personal goal is to live a good life (of non-harming) so they have a good rebirth

these are some of the goals of people when they practice Buddhism

kind regards
