I personally believe the enlightened mind of the Buddha has two aspects - wisdom and compassion - the wisdom of knowing what to adopt and what to disregard based on a full understanding of the emptiness of all phenomena and the compassion to wish to share enlightenment with others.

The compassion aspect of enlightenment was proved by Buddha taking the time to teach in different ways to many different people instead of just ascending into paranirvana as soon as he became enlightened under the tree.
