    Actually, god or no god is completely beside the point, according to the Buddha himself. The Buddha provided with a set of instructions how to actually transcend all limitations and ignorance and reach complete liberation. That’s what Buddha Dharma is about. Metaphysical speculation only prolong our stay in samsara indefinitely. The Buddha taught how important it is to drop all conceptualizations and focus on those aspects at hand that actually works as liberating factors in our lives.

      The Buddha did not speak of a creator deity, but he did speak of creation. The Buddha clearly taught that all phenomena are "created" by means of cause and effect determined by natural law. Further, the course of our lives is determined by karma, which we create. Karma is not being directed by a supernatural intelligence but is its own natural law. This is what the Buddha taught. For more explanation, see "Dependent Origination," "Buddhism and Karma," and "The Five Niyamas."
      So while he did not specifically say there is no creator god, in Buddhism, there is nothing for a creator god to do. God has no function, no role to play, either as an original source or as an instigator of current events. Every task that God does in the Abrahamic religions was assigned to various systems of natural law by the Buddha. So, while the Buddha never explicitly said "There is no God," it's not incorrect to say that God-belief is not supported by the Buddha's teaching.

    I have spoken directly with Buddhist monks in different temples in Thailand. it is not they do not believe in God. It is that they consider it unknowable for a human being. Therefore, rather than endlessly cogitating on something we cannot know, we would do better to focus on kind actions and karma. If it transpires there is a God, such a being would probably want us to be kind to one another anyway

      @@philliprobinson7724God and gods serve zero purpose to the path of Buddha Dhamma. They are to be respected, sure. Beings do not become God or gods unless they have led remarkably virtuous lives. Nonetheless, all gods, including THE God, are part of the cycle of samsara. This cycle is what gives the words Alpha and Omega (in your tradition I presume) its coherence. In the Buddhist tradition, the enlightened one is no longer a part of the eternal the temporary, the end, or the beginning. He is awakened. To pursue God or gods would be like abandoning the ocean for a muddy droplet. Unless you delve into Buddhism with seriousness, it is very hard for the western mindset, which is predominantly god-driven, to comprehend why it is irrational for a Buddhist, from any tradition, to become a worshiper of “things” within samsara. Namo Buddhaya.

      @@wordscapes5690 Hi Wordscapes. I'm sorry for my previous humorous flippancies. I quite agree with the need for virtue, and its link to enlightenment. I'd add that there's a link between humour and truth also, which is why truth often makes us laugh. I emerged from a Christian culture, but now have as much use for its literal beliefs as a chicken has for the eggshell from which it hatched. (Laughter please.). That excludes the philosophy and practice of humane science of course.
      You state "in the Buddhist tradition the enlightened person is --(beyond everything), he is awakened". What proof is there this is true? The authority of the speaker is not proof, note, otherwise such absurdities such as "all Cretans are liars because a Cretan told me so" would also be true. Reliance on unsubstantiated statements makes Buddhism a religion, not a philosophy.
      I assure you my friend that by studying the "muddy droplet' of water rather than the ocean, the great seventeenth century scientist Robert Hooke first discovered it was teeming with minute life-forms. From this came the "germ theory of disease" which is correct. Please contemplate that tiny droplet, and the petrie dish, which has saved the lives of so many, Buddhists, Christians, and Hindus. I say this as a scientific Theist, please "do not despise the day of small things". All things are of equal value.
      You're right that we cannot completely understand God, or even the concept of God, but it is in trying to do so that we gain enlightenment. For instance, if God is all powerful, then how can we have personal freewill? My power (freewill) must detract from God's freewill, so by trying to understand "God", I have come to a more enlightened understanding of freewill. At least I think I have.
      I'll finish with a Buddhistic question about God. If God is "all-knowing", and he's a scientist, how can he do a "double-blind" experiment? I think we need to understand the concept of "God" in scientific terms. Cheers, P.R.

    The whole point is to believe “as” god. If you set out on a search for god with a flashlight you will not find anything. That is until you come to a realisation that the flashlight is simply showing you what you believe to be true about you and the world. So what we call god is simply consciousness. We observe thought, made manifest. So who is the creator? I am. So god is not a figment of the imagination it is imagination. You are made in the image of your creator, you! You can however be unmade in your image also, the choice is yours. So liberation comes from a realisation that you are that one, not a creature or victim of circumstance. That the creator is observing its creation through you, as you. Religion is about believing in something outside of yourself. Direct experience or knowing is the game changer. ❤

    A standard definition of God in the monotheistic religions is expressed by omniscience (infinitely all knowing), omnipotence (infinitely all powerful), and omnipresence (infinitely total existence). In short, God has no limitations whatsoever. In other words, there is no possibility that a finite human mind can encompass or intellectually comprehend the God nature.
    If we somehow define God in any terms or qualities understood by our intellect - than we have inadvertently placed limitations on the infinity of God's nature, and attempt to capture the Infinite/God in a mental bottle.
    Buddhist enlightenment is the practical path or merger of our small intelligence with Infinity. It regards endless speculation about God as fruitlessly creating unproductive traps that resist the path to enlightenment...or if you will, the path to the incomprehensible and infinite nature of the God of your heart.
    "God" or "Enlightenment," are terms of similar and approximate value while still falling short of what Infinity actually is.

    The Tao that can be told is not the eternal Tao…you can put any word you want in the place of Tao, say god or whatever ….our minds cannot hold or comprehend the true nature of this existence…it is the in end of all the consciously disciplining of the mind…neither Buddha or Jesus ever intended to found any sort of religion …they in fact were showing us how to actually live without religion as one taught compassion and the other unconditional love…combined you have an existence that can be close to heaven itself…or enlightenment and freedom from pain and suffering…does your mind exist?

    Any word means a measure of something and when it's not measureable or a thing, human minds cannot comprehend or understand! Eternal infinity as existence in words is an insult or ridiculous attempt to define concepts like God beyond the human mind. You cannot believe in it, you have to understand it, like suffering is the pure imagination of self experiencing whatever suffering means to an individual being, it is just an image of nothing else.

    A segment from 'Saved by the Light of the Buddha Within'...
    My new understandings of what many call 'God -The Holy Spirit' - resulting from some of the extraordinary ongoing after-effects relating to my NDE...
    Myoho-Renge-Kyo represents the identity of what some scientists are now referring to as the unified field of consciousnesses. In other words, it’s the essence of all existence and non-existence - the ultimate creative force behind planets, stars, nebulae, people, animals, trees, fish, birds, and all phenomena, manifest or latent. All matter and intelligence are simply waves or ripples manifesting to and from this core source. Consciousness (enlightenment) is itself the actual creator of everything that exists now, ever existed in the past, or will exist in the future - right down to the minutest particles of dust - each being an individual ripple or wave.
    The big difference between chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo and most other conventional prayers is that instead of depending on a ‘middleman’ to connect us to our state of inner enlightenment, we’re able to do it ourselves. That’s because chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo allows us to tap directly into our enlightened state by way of this self-produced sound vibration. ‘Who or What Is God?’ If we compare the concept of God being a separate entity that is forever watching down on us, to the teachings of Nichiren, it makes more sense to me that the true omnipotence, omniscience and omnipresence of what most people perceive to be God, is the fantastic state of enlightenment that exists within each of us. Some say that God is an entity that’s beyond physical matter - I think that the vast amount of information continuously being conveyed via electromagnetic waves in today’s world gives us proof of how an invisible state of God could indeed exist.
    For example, it’s now widely known that specific data relayed by way of electromagnetic waves has the potential to help bring about extraordinary and powerful effects - including an instant global awareness of something or a mass emotional reaction. It’s also common knowledge that these invisible waves can easily be used to detonate a bomb or to enable NASA to control the movements of a robot as far away as the Moon or Mars - none of which is possible without a receiver to decode the information that’s being transmitted. Without the receiver, the data would remain impotent. In a very similar way, we need to have our own ‘receiver’ switched on so that we can activate a clear and precise understanding of our own life, all other life and what everything else in existence is.
    Chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo each day helps us to achieve this because it allows us to reach the core of our enlightenment and keep it switched on. That’s because Myoho-Renge-Kyo represents the identity of what scientists now refer to as the unified field of consciousnesses. To break it down - Myoho represents the Law of manifestation and latency (Nature) and consists of two alternating states. For example, the state of Myo is where everything in life that’s not obvious to us exists - including our stored memories when we’re not thinking about them - our hidden potential and inner emotions whenever they’re dormant - our desires, our fears, our wisdom, happiness, karma - and more importantly, our enlightenment.
    The other state, ho, is where everything in Life exists whenever it becomes evident to us, such as when a thought pops up from within our memory - whenever we experience or express our emotions - or whenever a good or bad cause manifests as an effect from our karma. When anything becomes apparent, it merely means that it’s come out of the state of Myo (dormancy/latency) and into a state of ho (manifestation). It’s the difference between consciousness and unconsciousness, being awake or asleep, or knowing and not knowing.
    The second law - Renge - Ren meaning cause and ge meaning effect, governs and controls the functions of Myoho - these two laws of Myoho and Renge, not only function together simultaneously but also underlies all spiritual and physical existence.
    The final and third part of the tri-combination - Kyo, is the Law that allows Myoho to integrate with Renge - or vice versa. It’s the great, invisible thread of energy that fuses and connects all Life and matter - as well as the past, present and future. It’s also sometimes termed the Universal Law of Communication - perhaps it could even be compared with the string theory that many scientists now suspect exists.
    Just as the cells in our body, our thoughts, feelings and everything else is continually fluctuating within us - all that exists in the world around us and beyond is also in a constant state of flux - constantly controlled by these three fundamental laws. In fact, more things are going back and forth between the two states of Myo and ho in a single moment than it would ever be possible to calculate or describe. And it doesn’t matter how big or small, famous or trivial anything or anyone may appear to be, everything that’s ever existed in the past, exists now or will exist in the future, exists only because of the workings of the Laws ‘Myoho-Renge-Kyo’ - the basis of the four fundamental forces, and if they didn’t function, neither we nor anything else could go on existing. That’s because all forms of existence, including the seasons, day, night, birth, death and so on, are moving forward in an ongoing flow of continuation - rhythmically reverting back and forth between the two fundamental states of Myo and ho in absolute accordance with Renge - and by way of Kyo. Even stars are dying and being reborn under the workings of what the combination ‘Myoho-Renge-Kyo’ represents. Nam, or Namu - which mean the same thing, are vibrational passwords or keys that allow us to reach deep into our life and fuse with or become one with ‘Myoho-Renge-Kyo’.
    On a more personal level, nothing ever happens by chance or coincidence, it’s the causes that we’ve made in our past, or are presently making, that determine how these laws function uniquely in each of our lives - as well as the environment from moment to moment. By facing east, in harmony with the direction that the Earth is spinning, and chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo for a minimum of, let’s say, ten minutes daily to start with, any of us can experience actual proof of its positive effects in our lives - even if it only makes us feel good on the inside, there will be a definite positive effect. That’s because we’re able to pierce through the thickest layers of our karma and activate our inherent Buddha Nature (our enlightened state). By so doing, we’re then able to bring forth the wisdom and good fortune that we need to challenge, overcome and change our adverse circumstances - turn them into positive ones - or manifest and gain even greater fulfilment in our daily lives from our accumulated good karma. This also allows us to bring forth the wisdom that can free us from the ignorance and stupidity that’s preventing us from accepting and being proud of the person that we indeed are - regardless of our race, colour, gender or sexuality. We’re also able to see and understand our circumstances and the environment far more clearly, as well as attract and connect with any needed external beneficial forces and situations. As I’ve already mentioned, everything is subject to the law of Cause and Effect - the ‘actual-proof-strength’ resulting from chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo always depends on our determination, sincerity and dedication.
    For example, the levels of difference could be compared to making a sound on a piano, creating a melody, producing a great song, and so on. Something else that’s very important to always respect and acknowledge is that the Law (or if you prefer God) is in everyone and everything.
    NB: There are frightening and disturbing sounds, and there are tranquil and relaxing sounds. It’s the emotional result of any noise or sound that can trigger off a mood or even instantly change one. When chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo each day, we are producing a sound vibration that’s the password to our true inner-self - this soon becomes apparent when you start reassessing your views on various things - such as your fears and desires etc. The best way to get the desired result when chanting is not to view things conventionally - rather than reaching out to an external source, we need to reach into our own lives and bring our needs and desires to fruition from within - including the good fortune and strength to achieve any help that we may need. Chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo also reaches out externally and draws us towards, or draws towards us, what we need to make us happy from our environment. For example, it helps us to be in the right place at the right time - to make better choices and decisions and so forth. We need to think of it as a seed within us that we’re watering and bringing sunshine to for it to grow, blossom and bring forth fruit or flowers. It’s also important to understand that everything we need in life, including the answer to every question and the potential to achieve every dream, already exists within us.

    Buddha just wanted to decrease suffering. No more, no less. Buddha acknowledged the existence of Gods. Religion in his time was about caste. He was not. Buddha realized that not only was everyone the same, but one conscious singularity. Not just a superorganism but a super consciousness. In that place in our mind where we are not taught otherwise. Buddha; intelligence beyond thought. Jesus; knowledge beyond understanding. The core of Jesus' teachings have been "fished" out of big box church we understand as Christian or religion. We are 180 degrees from the one thing that can save us from destroying ourselves and each other.

      Gods or goddesses exist but not fully enlightened. That's why they are still subjected to impermanence. Buddha is the fully Enlightened One and has attained Parinirvana. That's why Buddha is at the highest level. For example, if you have read Journey to the West, when the Monkey King wreaked havoc in the Heaven, only Buddha managed to subdue him. Leave the story aside, it was written as a metaphor to compare the perfection in conduct of Buddha as the fully Enlightened One. As a fully Enlightened One, he had rid himself of negative conducts and states of mind such as egoism, selfish nature, grudge, fear, hatred and greed. He will never be defeated by these negative elements. In contrast to Gods in some religions who are said to cast disasters upon beings who don't worship them. This is due to egoism, selfish nature, grudge and hatred that still remain in them.

    Of course you shouldn’t worship a deity. It’s like worshipping a candle as the bringer of light and truth.Thats foolish and idolatry.
    Buddhists could be described as atheists . But that doesn’t matter if they achieve enlightenment because that condition of consciousness is supposed to show the observer the TRUE nature of all creation. Sounds intriguing. Is it an all encompassing connected consciousness seemingly without boundaries ? 🤔 I don’t know as I never experienced it. But that’s my take on it all .

      ✅️THE GOSPEL OF THE WORD OF ALMIGHTY GOD "the Salvation of the last day that Christ brought in the second and last incarnation of the His new and holy name"
      (Behavior that cannot fully obey Me is betrayal. Behavior that cannot be loyal to Me is betrayal. Having many understandings and spreading them everywhere is betrayal. The inability to affirm My testimonies and interests is betrayal. These are all acts of betrayal that you have always been able to do, and they are common to you as well. None of you may think this is a problem, but I don't think so. You think that some act of treachery is only an occasional occurrence, not your characteristic behavior, and should not be discussed so seriously, in a way that damages your pride. To think like this is to be an example and example of rebellion. Man's nature is his life; it was a principle on which he depended to stay alive, and he could not change it. This is also the nature of betrayal---if you can do something to betray a relative or friend, it proves that it is part of your life and you were born with this nature. For example, if a person enjoys stealing from others, this "joy of stealing" is part of their life, although they may steal sometimes and not steal sometimes. Whether they steal or not, it cannot prove that their stealing is just a form of behavior. Rather, it proves that their thieving is a part of their life--that is, their nature. This is why I say that the source of this thought is not something that just breaks out from time to time, but is in this person's own nature.)
      Almighty God said
      BEHAVIOR that CANNOT FULLY OBEY Me is BETRAYAL. BEHAVIOR that CANNOT be FAITHFUL to Me is BETRAYAL. CHEATING on Me and USING LIES to DECEIVE Me is BETRAYAL. HAVING MANY UNDERSTANDINGS and SPREADING them EVERYWHERE is TREASON. The INABILITY to AFFIRM My TESTIMONIES and INTERESTS is BETRAYAL. OFFERING FALSE SMILES when the HEART is FAR from Me is BETRAYAL. These are ALL ACTS of BETRAYAL that YOU have ALWAYS been ABLE to DO, and they are COMMON to you as well. ☀️🙏
      NONE of YOU may THINK this is a PROBLEM, BUT I DON'T THINK SO. I CANNOT TREAT SOMEONE'S BETRAYAL of Me as a SMALL MATTER, and I ESPECIALLY cannot ignore it. 🛑
      Now, when I work among you, you act in this way---if the day comes when no one is there to watch over you, will you not be like bandits who have declared themselves kings? When that happens and you cause a major disaster, who will be there to fix the problem? You THINK that some ACT of TREACHERY is ONLY an OCCASIONAL OCCURRENCE, NOT your CHARACTERISTIC BEHAVIOR, and should NOT be DISCUSSED so SERIOUSLY, in a way that DAMAGES your PRIDE. If you really think like this, you lack common sense. To think like this is to be an example and example of rebellion. MAN'S NATURE is his LIFE; it is a PRINCIPLE on which he DEPENDS to STAY ALIVE, and he CANNOT CHANGE it. THIS is ALSO the NATURE of BETRAYAL--if YOU CAN DO SOMETHING to BETRAY a RELATIVE or FRIEND, it PROVES that it is a PART of your LIFE and you were BORN with THIS NATURE. 🛑 😪
      THIS is SOMETHING that CANNOT be DENIED to ANYONE. For EXAMPLE, if a PERSON ENJOYS STEALING from OTHERS, this "pleasure to steal" is PART of THEIR LIFE, although they may steal sometimes and not steal sometimes. WHETHER they STEAL or NOT, it CANNOT PROVE that their STEALING is JUST a FORM of BEHAVIOR. Rather, it PROVES that their THIEVING is a PART of THEIR LIFE--that is, their NATURE. 🛑
      Some people will ask: Since this is their nature, then why, when they see beautiful things, don't they sometimes steal them? The answer is very simple. There are many reasons why they don't steal. They may not steal something because it is too big to snatch from watchful eyes, or because there is no suitable time to act, or something is too expensive, too closely guarded, or maybe they are not particularly interested here, or notthey see how it will be of use to them, and so on. All of these reasons are possible. But anyway, whether they steal something or not, it cannot prove that this thought only exists as a fleeting and fleeting moment. On the contrary, it is a part of their nature that is difficult to change for the better. Such a person is not satisfied with stealing only once; such attitudes to claim other people's possessions as their own are formed whenever they encounter something beautiful, or a suitable situation. ☀️
      This is the REASON WHY I SAY that the SOURCE of this THOUGHT is NOT a THING that just CUT off SOMETIMES, but is in this PERSON'S own NATURE. 🙏

At one point I saw a beautiful and very fit nurse bending over the bed next to mine. She was absolutely gorgeous. I remember thinking I don't want to go yet. After six blood transfusions and two operations, five days later I staggered away from the hospital using the walls for support. After having a look for the nurse who brought me back from the brink. But she was nowhere to be found

    the Creator, the Supreme Being, the Ordainer, the Almighty,
    the Father of all... that are... and are to be.

    To perform offerings to your Ancestors and the Deities,
    this is the benefit of wealth.
    -The Buddha, Adiya Sutta 5.41
    You should develop worship of the deities while you are walking,
    while you are standing, while you are sitting, while you are lying down,
    while you are busy at work, while you are resting in your home crowded with children.
    - Anguttara Nikāya 11.13, Mahanama Sutta 6
    Therefore, oh deities, let all listen! Have love for human beings.
    day and night they bring offerings to you. Therefore guard them diligently.
    -The Buddha, Ratana Sutta.
    Therefore, all of you beings, be attentive, be friendly, towards this generation of men,
    they who bring offerings, by day and by night, therefore, being heedful, you must protect them.
    -The Buddha, Ratana Sutta.

    They don't worship a god. However, some Buddhists do believe in supernatural figures who can help or hinder people on their path towards enlightenment. For example, some Buddhists believe in the Hindu pantheon, and Buddhist art sometimes depicts deities such as Vajrapāṇi, Mañjuśrī, and Avalokiteśvara.

    Wherever Buddhism was taken, it appropriated the deities of that people.
    It also took with it the reincarnation and karmic underpinnings that were part of Hindu assumptions.
