What are the Buddhist gods?

Answer 1

Gods are a one kind of living being like us. But with living happily than humans.

They are born as appearing and die as vanishing. When they are born according to their karma some kind of gardens or houses (Vimana) will appear for them.

There are six heavens in our solar system(Chatumaharajika, Tavatimsa, Yama, Tusita, Nimmanarathi, Paranimmita-Vasavati).

Regardless of the realign if some one do good works he will be born in heaves.

Interesting thing is there are some gods who believe Buddhism, some gods believe another religion or nothing. Just same as humans.

Their body is made from very soft material which we can't see. And they are long lived. Chatumaharajika gods are 750 feet (230 m) tall and live for 9,000,000 human years.They have enough power to appear as a human but usually they don't like for that.

Before the last life Lord Buddha was lived in Tusita Heaven.

Answer 2

Buddhism does not believe in a creator/all-knowing god, however there are gods who reside in the heavenly realms whose lifetime is also llmited just like any other living being. Hence Gods in Buddhism are not given any special importance. The Buddha himself was not a god but was a man with supreme wisdom..

Answer 3

Buddhism has no deities. The Buddha himself is revered (but not worshipped) as he is the first person to achieve enlightenment without guidance. His statues are in temples and houses as a focus of attention not an idol or icon. The "magic" in Buddhism is, since he was only a man and could become enlightened, we all can.

Now for the sticky points.

First off there is not one monolithic form of Buddhism. There are sects and splinter groups that differ on basic interpretation of "facts". There are also older religions that have brought some of their beliefs into Buddhism - gods, goddesses and demons can remain from these. There is also the human tendency for lay members and the superstitious to give some ability of divine intervention to the founder of their belief.

Some forms of Buddhism, such as that practiced in Tibet, have a range of demi-god/demons that populate the world. Many other Buddhists have a specific incarnation of the Buddha that they turn to for guidance. These examples could look like worship to a non-Buddhist. Low budget movies have not helped this impression.

Answer 5

Buddhism does not concern itself with the existence of gods or goddesses. The path to enlightenment is acheived by the individual. Buddha indicates that concern with deities only takes up ime that is better spent concentrating on the Eightfold Path.

It is a common assumption that Buddhists worship Buddha. Not true. He is revered for his efforts to identify the path to escape the cycle of death and rebirth. He is however a man not a deity.

Answer#2

Everything that exist in this cosmo or universe, exist in the form of energy and the level of their existence depends on the quality of its energy. All existence is divide into living or non-living thing. We leave the non-living things aside and delve into living things or living being or living existence. All living being exist in their realm of existence, like animal realm, human realm, godly or heavenly realm, ghost realm or hell realm. They exist in form realms or formless realms. While in the human realm we can see the form of an animal realm but we cannot see or feel the other realms; unless the deg.....to be continue....sorry

Answer 6

The truth is there is no god at all in the religion of Buddhism.

The closest thing to a god would be the Buddha himself, Prince Siddhattha Gotama. The Buddha just came up with this religion, and is NOT an immortalized god.

It was said that he was born into a very wealthy family of a king and queen. He was pampered and at once thought the world was perfect. That was until he looked out to the outside world and saw a world filled with poverty and sickness. And so he gave up his worldly possessions, including his heavy earrings which is the reason why his ears are so large. With giving up everything he set off on a journey to help make the world a better place and spread this new way of think. Thus Buddhism is born.
Buddhism is atheistic in that it worships no god(s). This leads some to state that it is not a religion but a philosophy. They have spiritual leaders and teachers but, they do not pray to either.

Buddhists do not believe in any immortal, all-powerful gods, not even the Buddha. We do believe that certain people, who are on the path to enlightenment, can temporarily attain a brief existence in what is colloquially called a "God Realm" (who we call Devas). But these beings are not all-powerful nor all knowing.
There are no Buddhist gods. The Buddha himself rejected the concept of gods that require worship, created the world, or have power over human life. He even stated that wasting time on questions that have no provable answers (Is there a god, how was the world created, etc.) diverts mankind from escaping the cycle of death and rebirth while seeking enlightenment.
