@turkishcrew, yes the Hinayanists monastic goal is to become an arahant, lay followers gather merit for an auspicious rebirth through caring and feeding the monastic community and the Mayanist goal is to either take birth in the Buddha-fields I talk about in my Bodhisattva Bhumis series and both monastics and lay followers practice the virtues called the paramitas with the aspiration to become a Bodhisattva and eventually a Buddha who helps people learn to free themselves from their negative conditioning to they too can attain freedom from suffering and the rounds of rebirth..
