| | God - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Vedic Sanskrit hu- = "to sacrifice," "to invoke the gods". | | | Pantheism holds that God is the universe and the universe is God. | | | Many Jews consider the messiah of Christianity (Jesus) to be a false god and some monotheists (notably fundamentalist Christians) hold that there is one triune God, and that all gods of other religions are actually demons in disguise (as in 2nd Corinthians 11 verse 14). |

| | Buddhism and God |
| | In Buddhism, all gods, //devas// and spirits are mortal. | | | Was it God or the Buddhist equivalent of God? | | | The Buddha did talk about gods, heavens, hells and beings in all three realms in his teaching, but with one important distinction: all these gods are mortal, all these realms are mortal. |

| | Buddhism and Christianity: Buddhist Teaching or the Bible? |
| | Conservative Buddhism contradicts the Bible evidence that God exists and that the purpose of religion is to please God. | | | Liberal Buddhism contradicts the Bible teaching that there is one God, that graven images are forbidden, and that man is not divine. | | | The whole basis and origin of Buddhism was religion without God. |

| | Buddhism and the God-idea |
| | Buddhism is not an enemy of religion as atheism is believed to be. | | | Although belief in God does not exclude a favorable rebirth, it is a variety of eternalism, a false affirmation of permanence rooted in the craving for existence, and as such an obstacle to final deliverance. | | | Only in one way can Buddhism be described as atheistic, namely, in so far as it denies the existence of an eternal, omnipotent God or godhead who is the creator and ordainer of the world. |

| | Talking About God: Doing Theology in the Context of Modern Pluralism |
| | This leaves open the possibility that the Christian God is the answer to the Christian questions and that the Buddhist Nirvana is the answer to the Buddhist question. | | | T, Suzuki, the leading Buddhist interpreter of Buddhism to the English-speaking world, spoke unabashedly of Buddhism as Eastern mysticism and even spoke of Nirvana as God. | | | With this understanding Buddhism could have great attraction to the West as it sought a positive religious faith free from the supernaturalism and legalism that were associated with the Christian God. |

| | Buddhism |
| | One of the major world religions, Buddhism takes as its goal the escape from suffering and the cycle of rebirth and the attainment of nirvana, and it emphasizes meditation and the observance of moral precepts. | | | Gautama is the key figure in Buddhism, and accounts of his life, discourses, and monastic rules were summarized after his death and memorized by the sangha. | | | The Lotus Sutra or Sutra on the White Lotus of the Sublime Dharma (Sanskrit: Saddharmapundarika-sutra) is one of the most popular and influential Mahayana sutras in East Asia and the basis on which the Tiantai and Nichiren sects of Buddhism were established. |

| | Where is the Spirituality in Buddhism |
| | This same idea, the idea that we must prepare ourselves to be capable of manifesting the Divine Presence, is the very foundation of Buddhism. | | | That is, in order to truly make significant spiritual progress we must be free, we must be empty of the little self. | | | Many of us started on the path even sneering at the psychological aspect of things, but had to go back to do such things as address our inner child, align the three selves, do a 12 step program, or some form of individual or group therapy.” |
