to ordinary people, this meaning is good enough.
The ultimate goal of buddhism, in my opinion, is to become buddha.

From the book: Good Question Good Answer by Ven. S. Dhammika
Question: So Buddhism is just a philosophy?
Answer: The word philosophy comes from two words 'philo' which means 'love' and 'sophia' which means 'wisdom'. so philosophy is the love of wisdom or love and wisdom, both meanings describing Buddhism perfectly. Buddhism teaches that we should try to develop our intellectual capacity to the fullest so that we can understand clearly. It also teaches us to develop love and kindness so that we can be like a true friend to all beings. So buddhism is a philosophy but not just a philosophy. It is the supreme philosophy.
