No, we do not. There are many reasons why. The Buddha, like modern sociologists and psychologists, believed that religious ideas and especially the idea of god, have their origins in fear. The Buddha said: Gripped by fear people go to sacred mountains, sacred groves, sacred trees and shrines. So clinging to the idea of a all powerful being that can protect us and guide us, inspite of all the examples in life that there really isn't (where was he in Newtown?) is just another form of desire and fear.
No, Buddhists do not believe in a God, per say, but they believe in a divine existence and a way of life. The existence or non-existence of 'god' is not a factor in Buddhism. Mankind must find its own way to enlightenment.
Buddhists do not believe in any all powerful, infinite life gods. We believe that some people can attain entry into a God Realm for a finite time; but these beings are not omnipotent and not omniscient.
no they do not they are not monothaistic (means they belive in one god)

Answer:
Buddhism has no creator deity or role for any deity to perform in the enlightenment of human beings. The existence of a deity is not considered of significant importance to consider or spend time thinking about.

∙ 9y agoBuddhism does not prohibit such an activity (belief in a deity) but indicates that it can be detrimental to finding your enlightement.
The Buddha spoke on the existence of gods saying there is no advantage to belief in such deities. Each person is responsible to find their own path to enlightenment. The belief in a god(s) would only hinder the process as the expectation that some being will drop the answer on you will inhibit your own search.
