In Buddhism, there are supreme Buddhas, bodhisattvas, and gods; But the supreme Buddha in Buddhism is completely different from the God of other religions. To illustrate this point, I would like to start with a brief definition of 'Buddha'. Usually we refer to Shakyamuni Buddha as a Buddha for short.
In the eyes of historians, Shakyamuni Buddha was a thinker in India more than 2,500 years ago; In the hearts of Buddhists, Shakyamuni Buddha is the founder or leader of Buddhism in this world, and I think that Buddhas are thousands of thousands. When people are in the Buddha, they naturally become Buddhas. "Buddha is nature, and nature is thousands, including flowers and trees, people, ghosts, birds and beasts, even if it is a demon, as long as you put down the butcher's knife, you can become a Buddha.
And if a person wants to become a Buddha, he needs to be natural, he must not be in a hurry, his heart must be like stopping water, and he must also get rid of the three poisons of greed, hatred and ignorance. Only in this way will you become a Buddha naturally and logically.
A Buddha is a personality that has attained the most complete state of intellect, emotion, and ability. Let me repeat: A 'Buddha' is a personality that has attained the most complete state of intellect, emotion, and ability at the same time.
In other words, a Buddha is an all-wise, all-compassionate, and powerful person. Notice here that Buddhism is different from other religions, that Buddhas are not omnipotent, and Buddhas cannot give us liberation. He can only teach us that we have to work hard to achieve liberation.
A Buddha cannot send us to heaven or condemn us to hell.
Buddha is not only different from the omnipotent God of other religions, but Shakyamuni Buddha also tells us that this personality (also called Buddha-nature in Buddhism) that can reach the most complete state of mind and emotion at the same time is inherent in everyone. Only like a calm lake with waves rising and losing its mirror-like water; Human beings are obsessed with external circumstances and phenomena, and all kinds of assumptions, and are exhausted by the so-called survival, fame, love, and power, until they die of old age, and they are not yet enlightened, so they bury their inherent Buddha nature. The supreme intellect, the supreme emotion, and the infinite power that it possesses cannot reach the most complete state at the same time, and cannot be liberated from afflictions and pains.
The purpose of the Buddha's Dharma is to teach sentient beings and reveal their true Buddha nature. The Buddha's wish is to make everyone and all living beings become Buddhas who are as good as themselves. Therefore, in the Buddha's view, all human beings and sentient beings have the same Buddha nature and are all equal.

In the past, barbershops were only haircuts, but now?
In the past, comrade was the title of a cultural person, and now?
In the past, the Buddha was used as a tool to paralyze the human mind, the self-spirit, and now?
The world has changed, and the Buddha has changed.

Is my Buddha really compassionate?
Does the Buddha only protect the believers?
Isn't the Buddha selfless?
Does the Buddha need to be worshipped?

Buddhism is one of the various forms of religious philosophy, and its purpose is to guide life activities with its own theoretical system of ideas and philosophies, so it is also a kind of education.
Do not do all evil, practice all good, and purify one's will, which is Buddhism.
The teachings of the Buddhas do not allow us to detach ourselves from life or dislike this world, but to let us know how to analyze, understand, and judge various problems in reality with wisdom, and to find solutions to the middle way. Doing what we can and should do is the process of our own awakening, awareness, and then final enlightenment, which is called "self-purification". That is, you know what you should do.
Buddhism points to the troubles of life, but it does not take us out of society. Only by correctly controlling one's own psychology and one's own behavior will there be no troubles. The non-attachment of Buddhism does not require us to be sparse in our work, but to know what is "delusion" and what is "reality".
The work that should be done must be done well, and the obligations that should be fulfilled must be fulfilled, and we must not slack off, not confused, and not stubborn. To know what is the right action and what is the wrong attachment is the wisdom that the Dharma brings to us.

Buddhism is the name we give to our families, and Shakyamuni Buddha did not say that he founded a religion.
Shakyamuni Buddha was a human being, and through his practice, he learned the truth of life in the universe.
People are atheistic, and the world was not invented by him.
He just discovered the truth of life in the universe.
Then, after personally verifying the truth he saw, he told everyone.
The ancient monks and great virtues all personally proved the content of the Buddhist scriptures, and he dared to speak, or he did not dare to speak, and if he did not prove it, it was a big lie, and he would go to hell, so ordinary people could not win him in debate, because he had personally proved and experienced it.
It's like people nowadays who are not afraid of death, blowing nonsense there, talking nonsense, what kind of reincarnation I am, what incarnation I am.
The lectures are all preached according to the script, there is no personal testimony, and they are confused, and the believers are confused.
The above sentence is about some people who do not follow the law, just talk casually, not against anyone, sins, sins, I will repent).
So when an ordinary person (atheist, other religions) asks him a few questions, he can't answer them, the better ones don't squeak, the bad ones start to lose their temper, and then people's misunderstanding of Buddhism gets deeper and deeper.
Pity! ......It's a pity! ......
Nowadays, people have some misunderstandings about Buddhism, and I used to misunderstand it often, but after reading too many Buddhist scriptures, I realized what Buddhism was all about.
If your root device is good, you'll also have some small verifications, oh.
But that's not the point, the point is that you can understand, think, practice, and finally witness the truth of life in the universe.
This is the true meaning of Buddhism.
Like others, it just makes you believe that he is there, and that the world is like this.
You can't see it, and you can't prove it or witness it.
These are my little comments on Buddhism, but they are just my personal opinions.

Buddhism is the education of the Buddha, the perfect education of the Buddha to the supreme goodness of all beings in the Nine Dharma Realms. It's about the past, the present, and the future. It's not a religion, it's not a philosophy, it's a kind of education that Shakyamuni has taught us.
-
The basic idea of Buddhism is to be kind to others, to help all those in need, to accumulate virtue and do good deeds, and to achieve positive results for self-cultivation in future lives. Personal cultivation is to abandon fame and fortune and reach the realm of "emptiness".
-
Lead people to good! Pure heart! Like pure water!
As pure as crystal! Beautiful as flowers! Love life!
Cherish life! Be filial to your parents! No swearing!
Don't do bad things! Virtuous! Respect morality!
Don't break the law!
-
Manage your thoughts and mindfulness well, so that you can achieve inner peace; At the same time, do your part to help others, preferably so that every life in the world can enjoy peace and tranquility through its own inner stewardship.
There is no dwelling and the heart is born, there is no thought, and there is no thought.

Do not do all evil, practice all good, and purify one's will, which is Buddhism.
-
religious, not religious; Resembling science, not science. In short, great wisdom. Believing in Buddhism and learning Buddhism is equivalent to having a mountain of gold.
-
Do not do all evil, practice all good, and purify one's will, which is Buddhism.
Believe in cause and effect. Five precepts and ten virtues.
Temper him. Climb to the other side.
Bliss in the afterlife. Come again.
Bodhisattva generosity.

Landlord, your own thinking is right. However, you are wrong with these assumptions and conclusions. The poem dzkyes is right, but it doesn't tell you the reason and the root, you still have to understand, if you don't understand the true meaning, you will be wrong if you only understand the literal meaning.
This poem is not finished yet, it should still be able to be said, but it will be like it again.
-
Heavenly demons and outer paths are all Buddha nature. The four demons and three obstacles have come to enlightenment. The Demon Realm and the Buddha Realm are the same. There is no difference between equality and equality.
-
I am a believer.
But I'm still going to scold you for not making sense.
What a Buddha and a demon are one.
What do you think of yourself???
Have you studied Buddhism?
Child. How can something from someone else or even a ridiculous TV series.
Let's define a Buddha or a demon???
What you said about the unity of Buddha and demon also makes sense.
It's just that the unity of Buddha and demon is the embodiment of recognition.
When you are clear about the demonic nature, that is, the incorrect mental understanding.
Got a proper understanding of the truth of the universe.
You are a Buddha (Buddha and God are not the same).
When you are at the mercy of your own bio-like desires.
Let it fall. Harm yourself and others.
You're not far from the devil.
-
To put it simply, a Buddha is an enlightened being. The devil is attached to the image on the way to enlightenment.
-
If you don't even say that you're the "smartest" person in the world, you'll be crazy with loss.
-
I am also a student.
I think it's better to read "Entering the Bodhisattva's Behavior" for beginners. There must be explanations. Many Buddhist schools spend their first year studying this book. Recordings and texts of Khenpo Sodaji's explanations are available online, and the content is extensive and detailed.
There is also a book, "Buddhist Views and Paths", which is systematic and popular.
If you want to go deeper, it is best to find a good teacher first and learn under the guidance of the teacher.

It doesn't matter"Introduction to the Pure Sect", Master Jingkong is a monk who preaches the scriptures, not a pure sect.
Do you want to study Buddhism or do you want to study Buddhist scriptures?
Studying the scriptures, one talks about fate, and the other talks about understanding, which doesn't seem to be suitable for you.
If you want to open up wisdom, you don't need to go deep into the scriptures, the so-called three thousand drowning in the sea, you just need to drink it.
The Buddha said in the scriptures that people are determined by precepts, and wisdom is born because of determination. Don't equate wisdom with knowledge.
There are many people, full of experience, but nothing, Kong Yi already knows that there are four ways to write the fennel character of fennel beans, but what is the use?
It is recommended that you get close to the old monk of Jingkong, who suggested that beginners should start with one sutra and start with one sutra according to the root nature of people in the end of the Dharma period. The so-called 84,000 laws, all laws are equal laws, it depends on which scripture you have the most opportunity to choose which scripture.
Although the old monk of the Pure Sky is not from the Pure Land Sect, he suggested that he should choose one of the Five Classics and One Treatise of the Pure Land Sect to start, such as the Great Trend Zhi Bodhisattva Reciting the Buddha Yuantong Chapter, which is very short. After attaining the wisdom of enlightenment, we will go deep into the scriptures. Of course, you can also choose something else, such as the Mahayana Sutra of Amitayus.
Of course, intellectuals generally want to solve doubts and doubts, and it is recommended to listen to the lectures of old monks, such as the Mida Sutra to explain, which may be able to help you and see what you are interested in.

Learn the central idea of Buddhism first. Look at the following three scriptures:
The Lengyan Sutra, the Yuanjue Sutra, and the second volume of the Good and Evil Karma Sutra.
Interested in Buddhism, Qigong, 2012? Please go to Fa Zhi Pa Tie.
-
When reading the scriptures, you should do your own experiments. For example, the six ancestors said: Don't think about good, don't think about evil, when is it right and what, which is the true face of the Ming throne. For this sentence, you can do it to see if you can see it as it is. Just understanding, that's not enough.
-
It is recommended to take a look at Master Pure Sky's "Introduction to the Pure Sect".

Two suggestions for you:
1.Wisdom and learning become nirvana, and foolishness increases life and death.
2.There is no high level of law, and the crash is a second.
-
What is not Zen? Wisdom is empty and wise, there is nothing to gain, if there is gain, that is, there is no Zen.
-
is a text translation**.
-
In this kind of high-level forum, you should think that the organizers and participants are all ** people, or leading figures in the Buddhist world. To put it bluntly, it is civil servants, personnel of public institutions, and elites of the upper strata of society.
-
If no one sends you an invitation. You'd better not come. Otherwise. You can't even get into Mashan District!
-
Why didn't they inform me of such an important meeting?
-
There is no creator, everything is created by the mind, and all laws are only knowledgeable. Mountains, rivers and the earth are all born because of ignorance and reckless action. Just like in a dream, there are obviously six realms in the dream, and everything is empty when you wake up from the dream!
-
If there is creation, how can the Buddha say that all beings are equal? Therefore, Buddhism will not have a theory of creation, but there will be a theory of biological evolution, as if the Lengyan Sutra talks about something.
-
Look at this, Buddhism does mention something about the origin of the world, but that's not the point of Buddhism, and Buddhism doesn't think that the world was "created":
-
No. Buddhism believes that everything in the world, including all living beings, has existed from the beginning and is immortal, and that the world is not created by anyone.
-
Pros = > in Brahman. There is a Brahma king. The most powerful. Impotent subjugation. Dominate the king's domain. I can make clouds, I can turn into illusions. I am like a father in the cloud. In all things. It's a big talk.
A single thought of a Buddha can create a world.
Many gods and Buddhas created the earth together (so that the fallen gods and Buddhas can return to cultivate.)"Back to basics"...Otherwise, if you fall down, you will be completely destroyed)...
-
I don't know what your purpose is in asking this question, but if it's to compare it with other religions, or to see Buddhist jokes, then it's very disappointing.
Creationism is really laughed at a lot. There are also many people who ask this question, and the Buddha is indeed a superhuman in wisdom, and he does not answer this question indifferently. The Buddha listed 14 questions, and no answers were given to these questions or similar questions.
The Buddha explained it this way: If you are given answers to these questions, no matter how many years you spend and no matter how much you think and calculate, you will not be able to understand the meaning. It's like if you were hit by a poisoned arrow in a war, your top priority is to immediately find a doctor to pull out the arrow and apply medicine, instead of going to the person who released the arrow, not to study the production date of the poisoned arrow, not to study the direction of the strength of the arrow, otherwise, you will die before you can figure it out.
