I read a piece today, about after Buddha became enlightened, he had a vision in which he saw the human race as a bed of lotus flowers. Some of the lotuses were still stuck in mud, others were just emerging from it, and some were blooming. So this meant, that all people had the ability to unfold the potential and some need help to do so. So then Buddha decided to teach, and all of the teachings of Buddhism appear to be because of this vision. So maybe that was the main goal. Give back?
