"The Buddha did not teach the Dhamma for the entertainment of those already perfected; he taught it for the benefit of fallible people like us who were struggling to avoid pain and make sense of the world. Even to those who came to him with no intention to scale high spiritual summits he imparted the progressive training of giving, morality and mental development.
Why? Because there is always scope for improvement and because the
human alternatives are not limited to holy wisdom or cloddish ignorance. Suffering
lessens and happiness increases when we make an effort to follow the Noble
Eightfold Path, whatever our present condition."
