A Buddha is a person who has developed all positive qualities and has eliminated all negative qualities. A Buddha has been an "ordinary" living being, like you and me before he became enlightened or awakened. Enlightenment is compared to waking up, as a person makes a complete transformation in body and especially mind. A Buddha is said to be all-knowing. One could say that a Buddha represents the very peak of evolution. A Buddha is not omnipotent or all-powerful; otherwise the Buddha would have ended all suffering in the universe....\nHe did not claim that he was a god, the child of a god or even the messenger from a god.\nWhen we bow, we express our gratitude to the Buddha for what his teachings have given us. This is the nature of Buddhist worship.\n\n***When someone worships a god, they praise him or her, making offerings and ask for favours, believing that the god will hear their praise, receive their offerings and answer their prayers. Buddhists do not indulge in this kind of worship.\n\nSimply speaking, this is to avoid harming others and to help them as much as possible. Another way of expressing this is, Abandon negative action; create perfect virtue; subdue your own mind. This is the teaching of the Buddha. By abandoning negative actions (killing, etc.) and destructive motivations (anger, attachment, close-mindedness, etc.), we stop harming ourselves and others. By creating perfect virtue, we develop beneficial attitudes, like impartial love and compassion, and do actions motivated by these thoughts. By subduing our mind, we cut away all false projections, thus making ourselves calm and peaceful by understanding reality.\n\nThe essence of Buddha’s teachings is also contained in the three principles of the path: definite emergence, the dedicated heart and wisdom realizing emptiness. Initially, we seek definitely to emerge from the confusion of our problems and their causes. Then, we see that other people also have problems, and with love and compassion, we dedicate our heart to becoming a Buddha so that we are capable of helping others extensively. In order to do this, we develop the wisdom understanding the real nature of ourselves and other phenomena.

Because we are not about judging others beliefs and religions. We even pratice alot of other religions not just one. I also believe that god, he/she is way too big, he/she is in about every religion there is, maybe different intents and different paths.. but all really leads to same god/goddess's. I dont believe in "evil" or a right or wrong way to anyones path. Everything we do and everything we learn is definetly a lesson being learned and taught in most religions and beliefs. I dont believe in judging anyone because god, he/she does not judge anyone, we do enough of that ourselves.

People feel safe in their hearts thinking that their God will save them,because when you live in a world with violence, corruption, and pain the people with faith still feel safe inside in their mind. WHY QUESTION THEM LET THEM BE they are not hurting anyone, They are probably more sane then other people because they know who they are inside.

I believe in God because, well I always have. I never went to church as a child, yet I already knew he was there. I am not a Christian, I am a believer in God, but I do not believe in what the world has created a Christian to be. I believe we all have a greater purpose, and I believe that we don't just turn into Dust when we die. \nBut that is just me.

For most people what they believe in themselves is their religion. Some are raised into a religion and then keep that religion all their life....but not everyone does. Many people go through periods in their life where what they believe in does not match the religion they are following. What they are experiencing in their life, their perspectives, their approach to life, etc all start to come into play. Some may not leave their first religion (birth religion), but may start to definately develop their own personal theology and philosophy within the confines and language of that religion...others may leave that religion and either go to another religion that more closely matches their experiences, perspectives, approaches, etc....they will still start to develop their own theology and philosophy but they will do so within the confines and language of a new religion. And then there are those that do not turn to a religion at all, but instead create their own theology/philosophy using everyday language or language that they create to explain their beliefs, experiences, perspectives, approaches, etc.\n\nIn the end, as one Hindu teacher said, for every person in the world, that person is a religion in itself.

I think people believe in religion because it is much easier to follow along with everyone.  There is comfort and safety in numbers and if you just do what the nice man tells you to do, you'll get into heaven and won't have to do any real work to get there!  YAY!!!!  lol...really, don't people wonder about the fact that the huge miracles that you read about in the bible just don't seem to happen? it's because people forgot how to believe in themselves and in their own spirituality and began to believe in what they were told to believe.

Well i seriously  would have to argue the whole hinduism buddhism thing. But none the less... Christains spread there relegeon not only because  they feel the need to share the truth with people. but also scripture teachs that if you love Christ you will feed his sheep which is to say share his word with those who do not know him.I pray someday you too will come to know Jesus. May God bless you

The way i look at it there are people out there that say why believe in something that couldn't be true? i say why shouldn't you? some people will go thier whole life not believing to find out GOD IS REAL and then spend eternal life in hell. or they could simply have the belief in Him and when they die IF He wasn't real what did they lose? nothing. but he is there and there is an eternal wonderful life that is so perfect. so the people who don't beleive come out as a loss

The reason why they don't believe is because they have never experienced his greatness, and its ok, i mean as long we let them know thats the only way to salvation, then its up to them. I believe in God, because He has never let me down, I don't need to see him, but I have seen his greatness in my life. For the people that don't believe many times family members were taken away from them(death) or they had such a terrible up bringing, or they have different beliefs... only if u experience God in a personal level, will u actually believe he exist.. everyone can breath the bible on you, and preach u to death, but until u ask God to show you his existance u need to be ready and pay attention.

Some people have one set thing in the mind and are not open to others beliefs. I am Christian but on the other hand try to be open minded about others religions to.

Pardon my intrusion, but I do believe in God, 100%.  Not any god or idol of worship, but Jesus Christ, the one true God.  As a believer, my opinion is that "those" who don't believe in God ARE missing out on something (many things), including friendship (if you're alone in this world), fellowship (with other believers, not persecutors), and spiritual satisfaction (always knowing that if God brings you "to it", then God will bring you "through it".)  Good question,  probably no right or wrong answers though...

those who believe in god ....believe that there is someone up there looking after them.those who don't ....want to believe that they assume power over their own fate....they control their own lives.\n\ni think that it doesn't matter whether u believe in god or not...the loss is still too big....the only answer is to help someone else...not to feel such pain you have experienced...maybe we can make a difference and maybe we can't but at least we have tried.\n\nif there is a god....maybe he'll be merciful\nand if their isn't ...at least we changed someone's life and gave him control

OK WELL BEFORE ANYONE GETS AFFENDED IM NOT GOING TO SIT HERE AND JUDGE NO ONE IM JUST GOING TO HELP ANSWER UR QUESTION.THE WAY I SEE IT PEOPLE HAVE THERE OWN BELIEFS AND THEY GO BY WHAT THEY HAVE BEEN TOLD AND RAISED TO BELIEVE.WE ARE ALL HUMAN WE ALL MAKE MISTAKES AND IF SAYING THERE IS NO GOD JUST MIGHT BE A MISTAKE TO CERTAIN PEOPLE. I BELIEVE IN THE LORD AND IT IS TRUE THERE ARE SO MANY RELIGIONS WHEN IN FACT THERE IS ONLY ONE GOD THAT IS WHAT I DON'T UNDERSTAND BUT SEE EXACTLY WHAT I SAID WE ARE RAISED TO BELIEVE IN WHAT WE ARE TOLD SO THAT IS WHY PEOPLE WORSHIP OTHER GODS. SO CHRISTIANS ,CATHOLICS EXT... ALL HAVE THERE DIFFERENT BELIEFS. YOU ALSO HAVE PEOPLE WHO BELIEVED IN GOD AT ONE POINT IN TIME BUT SOMETHING HAPPENED SO BAD IN THERE LIFE AND THEY PRAYED AND THEY FELT THEIR PRAYERS WEREN'T ANSWERED SO THAT CAN BE ONE REASON BUT THERE MIGHT BE DIFFERENT REASONS WHY PPL DON'T BELIEVE IN GOD. IT SUCKS BUT ITS TRUE!

No, it doesn't make sense. It's another (of many) reasons people have non-belief. Why would anyone want to believe in a higher power that would punish them, even if they were good people and led very positive lives, just because they didn't acknowledge the existence of or worship that higher power? Not appealing to think the common example of a god is thinking "I don't care how wonderful you are, since you won't bow to me I'm gonna punish you". *shakes head*

It is a belief and a faith. You have to used to be a person to become spirits so God is just a belief for people who have faith.

Amen, and God bless you.  They just don't get it.  Like I have said before, you don't have to believe it, you just have to do it.  Some feel that People who have faith in God, are weak.  They feel that  They just can't handle the world on the their own, without believing in something.  It is not understood, that chapter and verse are recited, because it is God's word, and we are not to add to, or take away from it, so we have to quote it exactly.\n\nI witness God's works every day. And for those who have never asked, and received God's blessings, how very sad.\n\nI am so happy someone verbalized this.  Good job!\n\nGod Bless

If they are more intelligent than us,then why would they believe in something they have NEVER seen.Why would they believe something that as been written by human beings.Why does anybody believe in something that can't be proven.They would think that religious people,who believe in this Great God that is supposed to be so powerful he can do anything,are completely bonkers because,If this God is so powerful why does he let so many  people on this Earth suffer in so many ways ????
