- Does God exist? The Buddha's Answer.
Indeed, the question "Does God exist?" is one of the oldest and most profound inquiries in the human mind. Throughout history, from ancient Greek philosophers to the thinkers of ancient Sumerian civilization, humans have ceaselessly pondered and sought answers to this mystery. But, is the question of God, or a supreme being, merely a product of human thought? We not only inquire about His existence but also about the nature and origins of faith. Even in the Upanishads of India, where spiritual and cosmic knowledge is deeply explored, the question of God is not always explicitly mentioned. This leads us to wonder whether the concept of God is a later invention. What constitutes the entity we call God-an omnipotent, omniscient, eternal, compassionate, just, and wholly good force?
One day someone asked the Buddha,
- Does God exist?
- The Buddha looked at the person and said, "Yes."
The person could not believe their ears, because it is commonly said that the Buddha did not believe in God. So why would he answer like that?
At that time, Ananda, one of Buddha's closest disciples, was present. He too was shocked. The Buddha had never asserted such a thing, without qualifiers or conditions. Throughout his life, he had strongly critiqued any notion of God.
There was an agreement between Buddha and Ananda. Ananda was the Buddha's cousin. Before becoming Buddha's disciple, Ananda had made a condition, "You must promise me a few things. Right now, I am your cousin. But when I become your disciple, I will have to obey you. But right now I can make requests, and you must comply."
The Buddha said, "I know you well. You will not ask for anything I cannot do. Please speak."
Ananda said: "It's nothing much. Just a few small requests. One is that every night, before going to sleep, if I ask you something, you must answer. You cannot say, 'I am too tired today from interacting and talking with so many people...' You will have to answer me. During the day I will not ask, and I will not disturb you. But I am not yet enlightened, occasionally I will have some questions."
The Buddha replied, "I accept."
Ananda continued, "You will not send me far away. I will always be by your side, and care for you until death. You will not order me, 'Go and spread my teachings,' as though you sent others. You will not send me anywhere."
The Buddha said, "Okay. That is not a problem."
Ananda added, "If I bring someone to meet you, then no matter what time, even at midnight, you must meet that person. These are the few special favors you must grant me."
The Buddha said, "I agree to all, for I know you well. You will not take advantage of these..."
So when Ananda was stunned by the Buddha claiming there is a God.
But he could not ask amidst a crowd. That afternoon someone else came and asked the Buddha the same question,
- Does God exist?
- He answered, "No. There is no God."
The situation became complicated. Ananda was utterly confused but endured.
That evening another person came to the Buddha,
- Can you tell me about God?
The Buddha looked at him, closed his eyes, and was completely silent. The other person also closed his eyes. Both were silent for half an hour. Before leaving, the person bowed down to kiss the Buddha's feet and said,
"Thank you for your teaching."
I'm a Buddha Christian but I don't really practice both at the same time
I practice mostly
Buddhism most of the time
but I live in harmony with
Christian standards most of the time
and I also practice the
8 fold path of
Buddhism going along with my
Christianity beliefs
You are on the right path my brother. Following the Christian 10 commandments will avoid a lot of bad karma.
Following the Buddhism teaching will grant you wisdom to let go of bad karmic attack.
Will make you a better Buddhist and also Christian :)
Same here
Buddha said don't believe any God just believe in your self with any answers
@sovanhap Mom. You’ve highlighted an important point about the Buddha’s teachings. The Buddha indeed emphasized the importance of personal experience and understanding in the search for spiritual truth. He encouraged his followers to rely on their own insights rather than accepting teachings, including his own, without personal verification. This principle is encapsulated in the Kalama Sutta, where the Buddha advises not to accept anything on mere hearsay but to test it against one’s experience and reason.
This approach empowers individuals to develop their wisdom and understanding, fostering a sense of personal responsibility in their spiritual journey. If you have more thoughts on how this has influenced your own beliefs or practices, or if there are other teachings from the Buddha that you find particularly meaningful, I’d love to hear more. Let’s continue to explore these profound teachings together.
That’s all the teachings are about
@@EgoPodcastenglishMy father he treats Buddha like a god, he thinks Buddha is trying to reach a god’s level? I think what he’s trying to convince me to believe is that the self-peace within ourselves is the truth way in order to speak to the God.
In Buddhism teaching, Buddha claims that there is no god in straight meaning. But he seems hide something which is the true main source of spiritual power.
Complicated 😂 especially iam not english speaking person
That sounds good to believe in ourselves but there are many depressed because they can't help themselve. The things in the world is much bigger than ourselves.
I’m a Buddhist and I always tell people that Buddhism is not religion rather school of science specifically (Psychology , chemistry and physics(quantum physics). Albert Einstein once said if there’s any religion that cope with modern science it would be Buddhism
When did he say that
@@namah4399 Donald S. Lopez Jr. distills six items of interest from from his book Buddhism and Science: A Guide for the Perplexed:
Although the statement is widely attributed to him, Albert Einstein never said, ”The religion of the future will be a cosmic religion. It should transcend a personal God and avoid dogmas and theology. Covering both the natural and the spiritual, it should be based on a religious sense arising from the experience of all things, natural and spiritual as a meaningful unity. If there is any religion that would cope with modern scientific needs, it would be Buddhism.” Einstein appears to have occasionally made passing references to the Buddha in conversation. Yet something compelled someone to concoct this statement and attribute it to Einstein, the Buddha of the Modern Age. And since the time when Einstein didn’t say this, intimations of deep connections between Buddhism and science have continued, right up until today.
It is beyond quantum and beyond anything this world can comprehend. Only someone who is enlighten be able to know.
I'm a Buddhist and Buddhism is both religion and science.
@@bkkwalk3549 what science ?
Imagine a world everyone wants to be buddha, or a world everyone is buddha. Imagine that world, please.
Please don't try to complicate and confuse Lord Buddha's doctrine,
As it's mentioned that there are 31 realms of existence, in our Galaxy.
1.The 4 Hells
2.Human Realm
3.Six Celestial Realms
4.Twenty Supermundane Brahma Realms.
Among the Celestial Realms you find the Ruler Gods and the less powerful Gods as well.
Lord Buddha never denied the existence of Gods(Plural).
And all beings have the potential ability to become a God head or even Attain Buddhahood by accumulating an enormous amount of Merit(Wholesome Karma)
Also Karma(Commitments) is your creator.
Wholesome Karma gives you rewards in heaven and the Bad Karma will drag you down to Hell. And therefore Buddhist don't blame God when evil things happen, you accept the misery as a result of your own past Karma.
And distorting Buddhist Doctrine is very Bad Karma.
May all beings be well and Happy!
hi brother or sister, i dont mean to be impolite.
i think this video content refers to suttas i have heard, the events regarding Buddha answers yes and no to questions about God existence is true recorded in sutta.
This video creator adds some further sutta explanation based on his point of view, cmiiw
Maybe for better reference, this channel should include which suttas or maybe commentaries it refers, so we as the watcher know which is opinion, which is directly from Buddha, if u dont mind ofcourse
anumodana, kalyana mita 🎉
edit. i try to search online which sutta this content refers to.. to my shock, i cant find the reference, if not sutta reference, then it is not directly from Buddha’s teaching. interesting, so many distortion unintentionally i guess. please refer the related sutta or else this could misrepresent Buddha’s teaching
I appreciate your genuine approach.
As in Theravada tradition that's Thai, Burmese and Sri Lankan tradition which I consider as the Pristine Buddhism, but no offence to Mahayana Tradition., The Buddhist Doctrine mainly comprises into 3 segment subjects as mentioned below 👇
1. Suttra(Stanzas).,
2. Vinaya(code of conduct/Discipline)
3. ABHIDHAMMA(PROFOUND DOCTRINE delivered in Thavatimsa Heaven to the Gods).,
You will find a comprehensive description of Buddhist Celestial cosmology.
Regarding Book Reference:- COMPREHENSIVE MANUAL OF ABHIDHAMMA- by Bikkhu Bodhi /Chapter 5 Pages 185 to 199.(Published by BUDDHIST PUBLICATION SOCIETY.
Lord Buddha believe in an existence of gods but disagree that they are creator. And he said don’t look for any savior outside of you …human have the potential of becoming Gods
@@peprahricheson3464You are wrong, According to Buddha there is no God or nature is God. Read Vigyanbad or praman vartikam Book By Buddhist Acharya Dhamm kirti,the professor of Nalanda university, who denied God and proved God is imagination only
That gods who u said is not the awesome creator GOD. They are just supernatural beings like immortal in Tao path. Get rich in good deeds they do in their past lives. Usually they don't interfere in human realm because they are very immersed in their special lives or they just don't care we short-live beings.
And for creator GOD, did he exist or not is I don't know.
As a born Buddhist, I prefer he doesn't exist.
buddha is so inspiring
i like him and hindu god krishna bcz he is too kind ❤
Though an agnostic I've realized god un-intentionally practicing buddhist technique. It remains in my mind not knowing what to do with that realization, but it sure calm my soul.
Buddhism isn't always about no god or gods but each Buddha can decide for themselves
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, when I was struck by lightning during September 1970.
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.

Thank you so much for your kind words and well-wishes, Cats and kittens! I truly appreciate your support and encouragement. Wishing you peace and profound insights on your own path. 🙏
Buddha saw the formation of planets and gods in heaven during his higher state of consciousness in meditation but he saw no supreme God
im living in Europe and i tell u one thing..there is nothing like Buddhism. if u lucky to hear it and understand it.u gonna be a one of most luckiest person in the world........its not not only about your current life.....its more than that.....trust wht u can see.u can hear only from your own,,,,,ask your heat.yous your brain.....dont listen to books or old saying....even your own perents.even your own teachers.....they only know wht they leant from old books and person .....they all created by human for to have their power ....to control others .... most of ....for me whole just a story .....help your self.only u can help u.no one can help u or giving thing..
That is not realistic, there are so many times you got help from people love you.
My understanding is that Buddha himself does not know if God exist. Hence, he says no to the believer, yes to the non-believer and silence to the truth seeker as he cannot definitely say yes or no and leaves it to the person to find out what he believes in. He is wise in his answer.
Thousands of years before Buddha appears, India is the religious centre of the world.
The yogi practitioners in India were the first people to see heavens in their deep meditation.
That is how the world came to know about the existence of heaven.
But yogis thought their attainment to heaven is the Nirvana which is not the case.
Many yogis fell back into human realm and some even descended into hell after their meditative power diminished.
Their anger and their desire to know the truth about life and our universe caused the Buddha to response to their request. That was the reason why Buddha appears in India and not elsewhere.
Buddha told us that there are three stages of heaven with 28 levels.
The first stage has 6 levels.
It's called Heaven of Desires.
The second stage has 18 levels.
It's called Heaven of Form.
The third stage and the highest has 4 levels. It's called Heaven of Formless.
Gods exist in the first stage of heaven of desires.
Gods also have very powerful supernatural abilities like the Buddhas.
The different between Buddhas and gods, Buddha's characters, behaviour and thoughts are flawless.
Whereas, God's characters, behaviour and thoughts are not.
Buddha's Teachings should be introduced as an education, not a religion.
Using spiritual penetrations and psychic abilities to attract people to believe in Buddhism is not the proper teachings and only serves to mislead others.

You can practise the Buddha’s teachings without changing your current religion. It is like medicines. The researcher of a medicine will not limit his finding for certain religions. Everyone who needs it can take that medicine. Regardless of what your religion is. Similarly, Buddha’s teachings are for those who need it or for those who want to liberate themselves from sufferings.
I have a question. What does it feel like to believe in the existence of a god? I am Japanese. In my experience, many Japanese people are non-religious. Funerals are typically conducted in a Buddhist style, but I have never personally adopted a religion and I am curious about what it feels like.
In Japan, there are many shrines, and each is believed to house a deity, but this doesn't feel like religion to me. It seems different from religious faith. For example:
Ohtani: "I heard you can eat a Big Mac at McDonald's!"
Betts: "I want to go to KFC because you can get fried chicken there!"
Freeman: "Let's go to Starbucks because you can drink a Frappuccino there."
It's like this. Praying to the deity at that shrine gives you a sense of temporarily enhancing your power. In reality, it doesn't actually enhance your power. It feels like getting a temporary power-up effect in a game. However, it doesn't mean you have faith in that deity. It's like going to McDonald's to eat a hamburger or to Starbucks to drink a Frappuccino.
Is this Japanese culture considered religion? Or is it not religion? Can someone explain this to me? I'm not joking. I'm seriously asking this question.
Where do you get these stories? I would like to read more.
Thank you for your interest, Russell! If you’re looking to dive deeper into the teachings and stories of Buddhism, reading the Nikaya texts is a fantastic choice. I particularly recommend starting with the Majjhima Nikaya, or the Middle Length Discourses, which provides a comprehensive insight into the Buddha’s teachings with moderate-length suttas that are both profound and accessible.
You can find English translations of the Majjhima Nikaya and other Nikayas online or through various publishers like Wisdom Publications or SuttaCentral. These texts are invaluable for gaining a deeper understanding of Buddhist philosophy and practice.
Happy reading, and I hope you find these resources enlightening! 🧡

Dont know but times are of consequential dilemma for sure❤❤🎉🎉
Buddhas existed
Gods existed
Yeah🙏🙏🙏
Thank you for your comment, Shunlai Ei! It’s interesting to see an inclusive perspective that acknowledges the existence of both Buddhas and gods. This reflects the rich tapestry of spiritual beliefs that people hold around the world. Exploring how these figures are revered in different traditions can offer us deeper insights into various cultural and spiritual understandings. If you have any specific thoughts or experiences related to these beliefs, I’d love to hear more about them!
So what sutta is this from? Never heard this before.
Thank you for your question, Mark. It’s important to reference specific texts when discussing teachings attributed to the Buddha. If the content in the video referenced a particular viewpoint about the existence of God in Buddhism, it’s likely derived from interpretative discussions rather than a direct sutta, as the Buddha traditionally refrained from conclusive statements about God’s existence in the canonical texts.
However, topics like these are often explored in more interpretative or philosophical discussions surrounding Buddhist teachings, such as commentaries and later writings. I apologize for any confusion and will ensure that future videos provide clearer citations or explain when the content is more of a general interpretation rather than directly from specific suttas.
If you are looking for in-depth study, I recommend looking into the ‘Brahmajala Sutta’ where the Buddha discusses various views held by other spiritual teachers of his time, which might touch on themes related to concepts of a creator god indirectly. Please let me know if you would like more specific recommendations or further clarification on any points discussed.
@EgoPodcastenglish There are many suttas that talk about Gods, the nature and character of Gods and there are a few that talk about the Brahma (God) who claims to be the original true God eternal creator it fact Buddha talked to him. Then another sutta that discusses why an all powerful God could not be the creator of a world full of suffering. Your video is partly true, partly made up and falsely represents how the Buddha taught and what was said by him regarding a creation and the nature of God(s). If you think it is what the Buddha might have said then say that, but if there is no recorded event of this happening with Ananda you can't just make it up.
@@EgoPodcastenglishyes, this what we need, is the content general interpretation or directly comes from sutta or commentaries
Buddha can certainly read people’s mind. With deep meditation mind, we can also do it, to a less extent than him of course.
Sakyamuni Buddha actually says a Yes and a No! Don't changes this facts for non Buddhist teachings! The name God's is not the creator of the infinite consciousness and space or time! It is under the sub hierarchy of the creations itself! No God's can proclaimed the entire consciousness of creations! The creations itself have no beginning or ending! Is infinite multidimensional of consciousness! This creations created consciousness of intelligences and thereafter throughout Eons of evolutions and mastered manifestation to becomes a higher entities and its higher created realms and dimensions too! The category of the term Gods falls into the category of the the 6 reincarnations cycles of Samsara! They created heavens lives in heavens! While the tenths of thousands perfected Buddhas stays mainly in infinite Purelands and some in heavens too! They are free from the cycles of Samsara! The category of God's falls short belows Bodhisattvas and Bodhisattvas falls short below the Perfected Buddhas!
Great comments.

First comment❤❤❤
Thank you so much, Ud Tangse! We’re thrilled to see your excitement and appreciate you being the first to comment. If you have any thoughts or questions about the video, feel free to share. We love engaging with our viewers!
The answer is useless than to find the way out. The buddha said when you hit by an arrow why you asking for where it came from rather than take it out.
Thank you for highlighting this important teaching, Somsak. You’ve aptly referenced the Buddha’s parable of the arrow, which emphasizes focusing on alleviating suffering rather than getting entangled in metaphysical questions that don’t immediately aid in ending that suffering. This pragmatic approach is central to Buddhism’s way of addressing life’s challenges. It’s a reminder to focus on what can truly help us here and now. Great insight! 👍
God/gods do exist in Buddhism. Some God is also creator of certain Universe. But God in Buddhism is not almighty, also need to abide by the Universe Rule of Law. Buddha told us that there are millions and millions of universe with lifeform in it. Abrahamic follower is too obsess to see the truth.
I'm Buddha Christian
Buddha did not believe god as a single being, but a presence in all matter being the source of our image
..... 4 Noble Truth.....
...... Buddhism...........
Buddha spoke about 4 noble truth cause of suffering and 8 fold path to get free of sufferings.
What exactly is the source of this? Your really need or should tell us the source of this information > Does God Exist? (Answers from the Buddha)
Good answers in chapter one. World and universe exist in many or near infinite forms. The current day scientists refuse to believe so.
Buddha = Introvert = Selfish
God = Extrovert = Unity
Buddhism states whether gods exist or not they are not reliable. What matters is to be a island unto yourself and let the dhamma be your light.
There is NO god, pray as much as you want, but only you can save yourself. Buddhism don't care any concept of god. Me too... The concept of "god" is making many holy-wars in this world....
Vedanta handles these kinds of questions. Who is asking and who is listening. All is omnipresent, eternal, limitless, timeless non-dual Bramhan, supreme Consciousness, Parameshwara or God or Goddess. You are in Bramhan and Bramhan is in you. There is nothing but only Bramhan, you are That.
It is the concept stolen from acharya nagarjun
There are some errors / incorrect information . I am Buddist myself . God(s) means highly holy souls up in levels of heven. Buddha never said "there is god" .. his reply was " no answer" He even said this question and answer will not help us be free from suffering. Pls do not twis the information.
I like your way of expalining thing. But no twisted information, please.
Got it! Buddha is like me: agnostic 😆
Buddha is not agnostic but atheist. He rejected creator of the world. According to him nature is God. Read Buddhist acharya dhamm kirti the professor of nalanda university wrote his book praman vartikam and proved there is no God on the basis of buddha
Dharma is not Religion:
Dharmas (Bauddha, Vaishnav, Shaiva, Jain, Tantra, Sikh, etc.) are about seeking truth ‘Satya’ and disciplines of inner progress ‘Yoga.’ Dharmas overlap, learn from each other, and don’t fight. Hinduism is the collection of all the Dharmas evolved in our region. It is a geographical definition, not doctrinal. The central theme of Dharmas is inner and outer Peace. Dharmas are different spiritual path \ marga \ tao \ways \ disciplines. We, Hindus, go to and pray in all temples \monasteries \ gurudwaras. It is up to an individual to be interested or practice any, all, or none; or specialize in any particular path.
Religions (Christianity, Islam, Communism, Fascism, etc.) are brainwashing systems for social control. Each claims exclusive truth, all others evil, and assumes divine right and duty to attack others. Violence is the central theme. Religions are sets of doctrines to believe and sets of commandments to obey, without any questions. This is militarization of society which is the totalitarian control of individuals leading to 'we vs. they', 'we are superior', ‘misogyny’, and 'violence.’
Does Alien exist ? What’s the point of such question? Buddha was only interested in eliminating suffering of people ? Who cares about whether alien exist ?
There is the realm of gods and demigods. No one single god which the christians and muslims mistakenly thought so.
Here’s the problem, Jesus had 500 eye witnesses at his resurrection alone, completed 300 prophecies countless eye witnesses for the miracles and so on. Buddha never came back to life and here is a man claiming to be gods son. How do you grapple with that?
Now with our understanding of quantum existence just to question gods existence is to believe god exists and not exist at the same time

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.
Yes
One needs to believe in god and accept him as his savior and worship him for he is the source of life, wisdom, knowledge etc.
God is like Energy embodied in Matter. It exists.Some one says only Matter exist no energy.Someone says only Energy exists. In fact both exists. Are there many matter ? yes? Are there many forms of energy ? And so is divine forces, believed by many different cultures ! Budha dint wanted to hurt any one !
The creator or known as GOD, with the capability to craft planets, system, universe, time space, is nothing but just engineering and physics, until he found the references to boundary, this boundary is where the crafting matters flow in from boundary, living and non living matters, whereby a single complex symbol at the board, is able to let him create human in his image, he noticed something else. He tried to duplicate a symbolic non-existence man in his image, which is exceed his spirit crafting capability by referring to that. Anyway, something greater than god, perished multiple times, recorded in bible as well, and tried to be duplicated by him, so what actually happened? Why the design whole universe looked like reviving a large tomb? Worship and religion perhaps is the best solution then.
Those who are new to Buddhism or Christian faith, your podcast would be very confusing by talking about Buddha but showing Jesus and cross…is it your intention???
In the Silence God exists. Can you feel, hear, touch or see this state of mind? It's just exists although it seems to be undesbribable emptiness. That's the nature of reality. Infinity within the Circle of Life, Birth and Death🏞️🙏
As man just look at nature the natural balance of things the intricate web of life the colours of nature the circle of life one much higher than we are all humanity must be holding all this things k!
buddhaisgreat
Absolutely, Ejigu Best! The Buddha’s teachings continue to inspire and guide millions around the world. Thank you for sharing your appreciation!
There are many things in one universe.
There is.
I thought this was about Buddha, and based on Buddhist traditions, but it's a visual Jesus trip.

I’m just wondering why Jesus is depicted here (0:18) as having 6 fingers on each of his hands… 🤔
Everyone will imagine God differently.
"There is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved," Acts 4:12,
"The sins of all the people are now on one man. Pardon is proclaimed to all under heaven," History of Latter Han Dynasty, Vol. 1, Chronicles of Emperor Guang Wu, 7th year
God does exist but he doesn't take life and death cycle He is a soul like all of us, a soul is a tiny star that sits between the two parts of the brain, not visible to the naked eye. A size of a pinhead.
All of mans inventions come from thought.creation is pure thought,by the ultimate thinker...in my opinion..!
for four thousand years we been going on and on and on about god. and still nothing has ever surfaced except claims here n there about some divine incidents as they have claimed. if god is that powerful, why havent we received anything as proof ? something that has no answer will remain unanswered forever. and also has anyone ever wondered what is GOD ?

Seeing your own mind and to examine thoroughly; questions the teachings and don’t believe in what I taught you..experience yourself …
there are 15 godly kingdoms according to buddhism. they are thusitha, thauthisa etc. the buddha prior to coming to the human world was a god in thusitha gods kingdom. gods are huge energy bundles and if they come near the earth they will burn a hole in our earth. god ishwara is so powerful he can swing his sword and cut a mountain into 2. there are thousands of gods in these kingdoms. for them 100 years is just one day. and they live for thousands of years. this info from my buddhist studies. stay blessed sir.
believe nothing, disbelieve nothing and you will be alright.
As far as my reading goes, BUDDHA never said that GOD doesn't exist. He just refused to discuss GOD---- BUDDHA was interested in "relief of human suffering, due to NARCISSTISM". BUDDHA 's 4 NOBLE TRUTHS have nothing to do with GOD. BUT, but he did believe in RE-INCARNATION ( because he was in HINDU CULTURE ,BELIEVING IN RE-INCARNATION . So this faith in RE-INCARNATION makes BUDDHISM a religion as well. Buddha may not discuss GOD --- but believed definitely in RE-INCARNATION.
GOD is Merciful,Forgiving,Love,I don't see this in him
Its very difficult to understand god,bcos god has no image,so he created an image ,that's human when u look at human u are looking at god/Allah
I have lots and lots of queries regarding allah 😂
I'm a Dao Christian.
I learned how to apply both
Buddhism and Christianity into a Born Again of Life 🧬🧬🧬
Style...
Listen the world before creation what do you think all this gods Buddha is including they where doing,talk about Buddha makes the devil laughs he took the job and he is doing it more way better than anyone,only one God was a good person lm not going to tell you that even if you kill me,
I just believe in bombarded theory
"God is a mythical word, a mumbo-jumbo word that is the invention of the priesthood. Actually, to ask whether God exists is absurd. For those who know, God is existence, or existence is God.
Things exist, not God. A chair exists because a chair can go into nonexistence. To say that the chair exists is meaningful because its nonexistence is possible.
God is existence, the very isness. When we say God exists we create something out of the word God, then God becomes a thing. But God is not a thing, nor is God a person. That is why you cannot make him responsible for anything. Responsibility only comes when there is a personality, when there is someone who can be responsible.
God is not a person, he is pure existence. The word is misleading because the word personifies. It is better to use the word existence. The totality of existence is God.
So it cannot be asked whether God exists. That is like asking whether existence exists. Put this way - whether existence exists - the question becomes absurd. Obviously existence exists; there is no question about it. The question cannot even exist if there is no existence, nor can the questioner.
I would like to make it clear that when I say God, I mean existence as such. God is not a thing among other things, God is total thingness. To say that the table exists is the same as saying that the table is God. To say that you exist is the same as saying that you are God. God is the existence. God is isness, the quality of isness, the quality of existence.
First of all, God is not a thing. Secondly, God is not a person because the total cannot be a person. Personality is a relationship. Alone, totally alone, you will not be a person at all, you will be existence itself. That is why those who are seeking the divine tend to go into loneliness. In this way, they can cease to be persons and can become one with existence. Aloneness, absolute aloneness, is a step toward jumping into the abyss of existence.
God is not a person because there is nothing opposite to him, nothing distinct from him. God cannot say “I” because there is no other that exists as thou. He cannot be related to anyone. He is the whole, so all relationships exist in him and cannot exist beyond him.
So if God is not a person, there is no question of any responsibility. If evil exists, it exists. No one is responsible for it. The total cannot be responsible for it.
Responsibility implies that there is a person who can be responsible. A child of four cannot be taken to court because he is not yet a person and therefore cannot be held responsible for anything that he may have done. He is so innocent that even the sense of personality, the sense of ego, is not there. He is not responsible at all, because responsibility comes with ego. Existence has no ego at all - God has no ego at all - so you cannot make him responsible for any evil that exists.
But the human mind is very cunning. First we invent a personified God - we give God a personality - and then we make him responsible for what happens. We go on creating problems that are not problems at all but only linguistic fallacies. Ninety-nine percent of philosophy consists only of linguistic fallacies. If you call the totality, existence, you cannot make it responsible; but if you call it God, then you can make it responsible - only the word has changed.
Existence is non-personal, impersonal. But if God becomes a person, then you can ask, “Why is there evil?” The whole game is being played by you alone; God is not a party to it. When you give existence a name, a personal name, you create problems. These problems are not authentic problems; they are created problems, invented problems.
God means existence. I cannot say that God exists, because that would be a tautology. It would be just like saying: existence exists, or poetry is poetry. It means nothing, it defines nothing, it clarifies nothing, it explains nothing; it only repeats itself.
To me, God is existence, and existence is impersonal. It cannot be otherwise because the total cannot be a person. How can it be? In contrast to whom can it be an individual, a person? In contrast to whose ego can it create its own ego?
You become an ego because other egos exist. Psychologists say that the sense of ego develops in a child later than the sense of the other. First the child becomes aware of others, then he becomes aware of himself. The ego is a later addition.
You cannot become aware of yourself if there is no other. Without the other you cannot define yourself - your definition of yourself comes from the other. Others define you; they make you separate. By knowing others you come to feel your own boundaries. Then you know, “I am here, and I am not there.” Then you know, “This body is mine, and that body is not mine.” Then what is you is clearly defined - defined by other egos. If there were no other, you would never be aware of yourself as a person.
God cannot become an ego. He cannot say “I” because there is no thou: he cannot define himself. God is indefinable because a definition means a drawing of boundaries, and the total has no boundaries at all. The total means that which has no boundaries, the infinite.
We cannot conceive of the infinite - whatsoever is conceivable by the mind is finite. Even when we think about the infinite we conceive of it as a greater finiteness, never as the infinite. We cannot conceive of a boundaryless existence, but it is so nevertheless. Whether you can conceive of it or not makes no difference.
Mind cannot conceive of the indefinable, because mind requires definitions, clear-cut boundaries. That is why God, existence, cannot be understood by the mind.
God is the indefinable. Because we use the pronoun he for a person, we use he for God. But “he” is not correct, because by calling God he, he becomes a person. Still, there is no other way. If we call God it, it may seem better, but since we call things it, God also becomes a thing. Our language is not meant to express the indefinable, so the best we can do is use “he.” But he is not a person at all: he is a no-person, a non-ego. You cannot make him responsible.
If you say that something is bad - that there is evil or there is want - you are saying it to no one. No reply will be given to you from the universe, because as far as existence itself is concerned there is no evil. Evil depends on our attitudes; it depends on our moralistic definitions. For example, you may call someone ugly, but there is no ugliness in existence itself because there is no beauty. The distinction is human, it is not existential. You have made the definition: you have defined something as beauty and something else as ugliness. You have made the distinction and then you ask, “Why has God made ugliness?”
There is no way to decide what is good and what is bad. If there were no human beings on earth, would there be anything good or bad? There would be no good and no bad because goodness and badness are human distinctions, mental distinctions. If there were no human beings on earth would there be any flower that was ugly or any flower that was beautiful? There would only be flowers flowering; the distinction would not be there.
You say “this is evil” and “that is good.” But if, for example, Adolf Hitler’s mother had killed him during his childhood, would it have been good or bad? She would have been a criminal and they would have punished her for it. But now, looking back, we can say that it would have been a most moral act: by killing her child she could have saved the whole world.
No one can know the future. For us, every act is an incomplete act, every act is a fragment. We don’t know the whole so we cannot pronounce judgment on it.
It is just like a page torn from a novel - how can you make any judgment about the novel by reading just one page? You don’t know anything about the novel. This is just a fragment - it has no beginning or end. You will say, “I would like to read the whole story first. Nothing can be said about it otherwise. This page is not enough.”
Words such as good and bad are just expedient, utilitarian; they are not existential. We cannot exist without classifying things as either good or bad because otherwise society would be impossible.
This must be clearly understood. Definitions are not ultimate truths, they are relative. There is not a single act that cannot be considered good in some context. A good deed can be bad in one context and a bad deed may be good in another. If you are to make any final judgment you will have to know everything from the very beginning to the very end - everything in the whole of existence. But of course, this is impossible.
All our statements about good and bad, beauty and ugliness are nothing more than traffic regulations. We have to make them, but they are not ultimate truths. “Keep left” or “keep right” - it makes no difference. But no society can do both: either you have to keep right or you have to keep left. The rule is utilitarian; it is neither natural nor ultimate.
The road is absolutely unconcerned with whether you keep to the right or to the left, but traffic does require certain rules. When there is less traffic you do not have to make any rules; but the more confusing the traffic, the more rules will be needed. In a village there is no need for traffic rules, but in a big city rules are needed.
As society develops in a more complex way, a more clearly defined morality is needed; otherwise you will not be able to live. But these moralities, these conceptions of good and bad, are human expediencies.
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, when I was struck by lightning during September 1970.
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.
The pity is his followers have converted him to god and worship....him ....
A human trying his best to replace God or be be God that's the buddha...after all his conception is thru an Animal Deity an elephant...AND needs to distance himself from THAT begat by an Animal Deity
Short answer..no
God exists
Thank you for sharing your belief, Cathy. In discussions about spirituality and religion, it’s essential to recognize and respect the diverse views that people hold. While Buddhist teachings traditionally do not focus on the concept of a creator God as found in monotheistic religions, they certainly respect the spiritual experiences and beliefs of all individuals.
If you’re interested in exploring how different spiritual traditions address this question, or if you’d like to share more about your views, we’d be glad to hear from you. Understanding and discussing these differences can enrich our perspectives and help us appreciate the varied ways people find meaning and purpose in life. Thank you again for engaging with our content!

We are fated to be born and we are fated to die. Therein lies the answer.
Jesus is the only way to the father. God is true, we are image of God as stated in the bible and Buddhism doesn’t know God or it existence nor have a straight answer to wether God is real or not just backward answer of both nope and yes that’s something you have to think your life over cause your not allow to be gated so the truth shall set you free Buddha gated the answer but I will ungate it today Jesus was already here to die for your sin don’t use God name in vain like buddha did
Of course the sun exist. Without sun, no one knows that moon exist. Without moon, earth cannot rise sideway.
God is not a image he ìs God Almighty 😂😂😂❤❤❤U South Africa U
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Sadhu 🙏
You have define GOD, The only one God like the Abrahamic religion. Is not seen in the Sanātana Dharma, even putting a one is limiting to the creator. You cannot put a definition, you cannot know it, you can only experience it through yoga & meditation. Till you have that discipline, even talking about the creator will not make a BIG difference in anyone life, just look at history the one who believe they KNOW GOD have done the most horrible things.
first: ancient civilization known gods exist second use plural not got but gods third thing stop showing that false,cruel god so much pls thank you.
The ideology of God came into Existence about 1400 years ago.
Dohhhhhhhh...😂😂😂
God derived from "Gudan " a Pagan Entity from a Tribe in Europe.
Buddha is aware that there is God but he refused to believe in and worship God for he believed in himself only.
So, sad about your understanding my friend. You need many miles go to understand a simple word of the Buddha.
@@RajaGoonaratne My understanding is: Buddha is trying to understand his soul with respect to this world. He seems to think that our souls did not originate from heaven and he tries to figure out what is his soul.
I’m laughing imagine listening to Buddha’s thoughts since God separate this crazy people before the creation of our world they come to understand they themselves that they where wrong,Abraham try telling them all they do put him in prison,let me tell you a funny joke no matter how you disagree God existence listening to this trash, like all this Buddhas is making me laugh,God gave instructions you obey listen and do what l told you,
The inferior complex has led some ignorant groups of people to create god.
Do you exist??? If yes then yes god exist !!!

The Buddha didn't believe in a creator .
You created this story yourself! 😂
These AI voices always mispronounce
If god exist buddha can't exist .
THIS IS COMPLETELY NOT BUDDDHIST!
can you explain to me why?
GOD is empty no body can talk with him/her.
Did you know : Guru Rinpoche or Guru Padmasambhava is know as Second Buddha which in modern world consider him as the Father of Quantum Physics. Guru Rinpoche’s birth has been prophesied by Buddha himself when he entered nirvana. Buddha said to his disciples that he will be reborn as Guru Rinpoche who will be twice powerful than his current state. ❤
😂 Who told you these stories
@@Raj-sc8qs ahh dude, i see you need to read more buddhist scripture. You can find these direct scriptures in prayers in Tibet
@@tandinyounten8733 Can you explain Twice powerful meaning, I think you should come out from dulity, trapped in powerful then this or that concept, you sound like a child who compares things like my superhero is stronger then this or that 😂 I mean come on man grow up 😂 you should take philosophy seriously, as you come from Tibetan Buddhism, it's our onus to atleast honour scriptures meaning and philosophy
@@Raj-sc8qs that’s what’s written in Tibetan manuscripts prayers of “Kathang duepa”, I hold no bias on this debate, I don’t believe in God, as Aristotle said personal is politics, I have my own situated knowledge of not believing in God existing, neither am I an atheist. M grown up child, m grown enough to understand why you saying I sound like a child. To consume the information is in your hand. We spread compassion not jai shree ram who doesn’t exist but a mythical creature embedded in realm of nowhere but imagination.
@@tandinyounten8733 chill bro im mahayani buddhist from Geluk school of Tibetan Buddhism AKA Nalanda tradition , and let me tell you Sidharth Gautam himself Was Rama in his previous Life, Read Dasharath Jataka tail 😀

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.
