[QUOTE="angelsaroundme, post: 76117341, member: 426536"] Buddhism might be the most misrepresented of all religions. It's packaging in a secular form is misleading. Here are some quotes regarding Buddhist doctrines. I am not a Buddhist but I feel that we should have a clearer picture of Buddhism to understand it and the cultures influenced by it. "Buddhism is famous in the West as an 'atheistic religion,' in the sense that, unlike the Abrahamic religions of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, it does not recognize a single creator deity. However, one should not assume from this that Buddhism has no gods. It has not one, but many." "In his penultimate lifetime, the Buddha-to-be was a god, abiding, where all future buddhas abide, in the Tushita heaven." "The most powerful of the gods, Brahma, descended from his heaven to implore the Buddha to teach, arguing that although many might not be able to understand, there were some with 'little dust in their eyes' who would. This is an important moment because it makes clear that the Buddha knew something that the gods did not, and that the gods had been waiting for a new buddha to appear in the world to teach them the path to freedom from rebirth, even from rebirth in heaven. For this reason, one of the epithets of the Buddha is [I]devatideva[/I]—'god above the gods.'" "Did he create the universe? No. Is he omniscient? Yes. Is he omnipotent? It depends on what you mean. Is he eternal? Sort of. Is he God? You decide." - [URL="https://tricycle.org/trikedaily/buddha-god-human/"]Was Buddha God or Human?[/URL] [/QUOTE]
