Enlightenment should be the objective of practising Buddhism and cultivating the mind. We must practise kindness and remove evil thoughts from our minds, replace negative relationships with positive ones, and use wholesome thoughts to let go of all karmic affinities.
学佛修心，要以开悟为宗旨，
用善心消除内心的恶念，
用善缘消除自己的恶缘，
用善念让自己放下万缘。
– Master Jun Hong Lu, Words of Wisdom Volume 5
