Here in the world
he takes nothing not-given
--long, short,
large, small,
attractive, not:
he's what I call
a brahmin.

His longing for this
& for the next world
can't be found;
free from longing, unshackled:
he's what I call a brahmin.

-Dhammapada, 26, translated by Thanissaro Bhikkhu.

A brahmin is no different from any other hindu. For your information, hinduism doesn't differentiate between brahmins and non-brahmins.

Like all hindus, they should long for the freedom from the cycle of reincarnation.

Buddhahood, an end to cyclical existence and an end to suffering in all sentient beings including one's self.....as another person said "Nirvana".
