Its purpose is to clear the juni-innen (the 12 nidanas (continuum of twelve phases that lead to suffering)) of Shogyo Mujo (All things must pass) with the wisdom (prajna in Sanskrit) evoked by the enlightenment gained through the above process, to reach nirvana after diminishing the nidanas and being liberated from earthly desires and the woes of man, and to lead all living things finally.
そうして得た悟りから連想される般若を以て諸行無常の十二因縁を明らかにし、次いで因縁を滅ぼして苦しみの六道を解脱して涅槃に至り、その後に一切の衆生を導くことを目的とする。
