Buddha's intent was to end suffering. This was to be done by understanding at suffering is caused by desire and that it can be eliminated by controlling desire.
The understanding of life and the universe.
The end goal for Buddha to reach is enlightenment, or Nirvana. This is a state of liberation from the cycle of birth, death, and rebirth, and represents the ultimate goal of spiritual practice in Buddhism.
A solution to the sufferings of birth, sickness, old age, and death.
Buddha's last teacher was Udraka Ramaputta. He attained the same level of realisation and this teacher, but he was not satisfied and left Udraka's tutelage to continue toward his goal of complete enlightenment.
Buddha believed: * All life contains suffering * All suffering is caused by desire * There is a way to escape suffering by eliminating desire * The Eightfold Path is the way Buddha believed it is in every person to achieve the goal of enlightenment following these four noble truths. No deity is required to achieve this. So Buddha believed in every person. He did not believe in a god(s)

To become a Buddha, you must cease to exist or become Non-self. While Mahayana Buddhists believe in 18 hells and a few paradises, these are all temporary, as the end goal is Nirvana or non-existence.
