People fear that which they do not know. There is nothing evil in the teachings that I can find. I believe that Buddhism is a good and sound philosophy. I'm a christian by the way (point of reference).But to the Buddhists he is the best thing that ever happened to them.

~Good answer, my Christian friend. :-) ..I am a Buddhist... there is nothing in the Buddha's teachings that is evil. He promotes nothing but love. He teaches that one must forgive, and love, and help those in need. How is that evil?

Important figures in buddahism?

Buddhism developed after the Shakyamuni Buddha (Siddhārtha Gautama) became enlightened and shared some of his understanding with others. Those students studied his teachings, meditated and sometimes became enlightened themselves. In turn, they taught what they learned to other interested people, and eventually there was a community or Sangha of practitioners of the teachings of the Buddha. Once that community matured and the practices were codified to some extent, it became known as Buddhism. And the actual founder, as the name describes, is buddha a famous spiritual teacher, revered by many as a god.

Is the Holocaust an example of evil?

An example of moral evil is something evil that is caused by someone (or a group of people). Examples include murder, rape, suicide bombings (9/11) or gun and knife crime. People include Stalin, Hitler, the kidnapper behind Madeline McCann, the two boys who tortured another two and the 13-year-old rapist who was in the paper today. Many philosophers have commented on this. They call it the 'Logical Problem of Evil' or the 'Inconsistent Triad'. This is: 1)God is omnipotent (all powerful) 2)God is omnibenevolent (all good) 3)Evil exists. Obviously, one of these doesn't belong, and we tend to think it is Evil - therefore the Triad is inconsistant. Epicurus argued 'Either God is not all-powerful and he does care, or he does care but he's not all-powerful, or he doesn't exist.' Irenaus argued Evil is telelogical (it has a purpose), that is to make us learn form our mistakes. He thought that 'When Evil occurs, it is our fault, not God's." However, some philosophers believe that some mistakes are too high a price to pay just so we can "learn from our mistakes". Anyway, hope that helped answer your question!!

Is Buddha the only Buddhism god?

The Buddha is not a god. The term means "enlightened one" and refers to people who have realized some great truth.The Buddha is not a god. The Buddha was a person who taught a philosophy on life and the way it should be lived. Siddhārtha Gautama was a spiritual teacher from Ancient India and the founder of Buddhism. He is viewed by Buddhists as the Supreme Buddha (Sammāsambuddha) of our age. The time of his life is in the area of within 20 years either side of 400 BC.The concept of god in Buddhism falls into an entirely different realm from that of the views found in Christianity, Islam, and the Jewish religions. Buddhism is not a religion that worships a creator god.
