strictly speaking, there is none. The Buddha never concerned himself with answering the question of whether there is a God or Gods, since it was irrelevant to the question of how to free oneself from suffering and become enlightened. Certain sects of Buddhist believe that there are spirits that are powerful (like Mara, AKA Maya, known as the deceiver) , but we pray to no Gods. Our practice, as we call it, is to bring about a ultimate understanding of the world as it is, without preconception, so that we can be free of suffering (be happy) and help others obtain this state. If there is one truism, have many happy, smiling Buddhist monks do you see? Lots and lots thanks to the truths the Buddha has taught us.
