I was wondering if we as Buddhists have a common objective.

Hello Bundokji,

When I first arrived to the Suttas I thought there was a common objective but now, knowing so many different traditions all around the globe seems that some traditions and some practitioners do not see quenching Dukkha as its ultimate goal. Some members here also have expressed this.

Craving for more and more seems to be part of the temper of looking for more spiritual issues far from being content with the "handful of teachings" of Buddha. Human nature? Natural curiosity? Wandering mind? Craving? Attainment of higher levels of understanding? An endless spiritual evolution?
