learning to give up selfish desire and achieve enlightenment
Answer:
"Salvation" is not Buddhist concept. In religions which feature this concept, like Christianity, salvation is a removal of all "sin" so person can enter "heaven". Salvation is granted by a deity.
In Buddhism people work through their unskillful handling of life's problems themselves attempting to incorporate the suggestion of the Eightfold Path to eventually achieve enlightenment. This is done over countless cycles of death and re-birt. When this happens they may, if they want abandon the last conceit of an independent existence, and enter Nirvana a state of selflessness - no god, no heaven, no company of the blessed .
