Ultimately the goal for practitioners of Buddhism is enlightenment, and in the Lotus Sutra we are told that enlightenment is one that is equal to that of all Buddhas. In a sense our goal of enlightenment is also an ever-increasing treasure. As we develop and mature in our practice we are able to see that enlightenment is an ever unfolding and evolving objective. It isn’t that the end point changes, instead it is that we are able to see ever expanding possibilities, we are able to imagine greater growth as we actually begin to grow. When we begin we cannot possibly understand the degree to which our life is capable of expanding.
