Becoming enlightened frees you from the eternal cycle of suffering and rebirth on earth, essentially. It's where things start getting metaphysical.

But it's difficult to deal with Buddhism as a whole in the WP tradition, unless we directly and exclusively address the Sutras (which is not what I have been doing here), and even then, extracting arguments is not as straightforward as would be for a WP text.
