How do budda's believe the universe was created?

Answer 1

In Buddhism the is no creation myth. We do not talk of the one omnipotent all powerful God. Buddhism is a way of life of how we balance our life to create a harmonious living which in turn take us into another world of harmonious stages of living wihtin ourr sphere of our existence. As far as cosmology there are an infinite number of Universes all exixting simultaneously. This is similar to the astrophysical cincept of the Multiverse.

Answer 2

Buddhists do not have a creation story or belief. It is not important to us nor is it an answerable question. There are over 22 major religions and almost all have different creation stories. Does one or another provide any benefit to a person living here and now? I would think the answer is no.

Answer 3

The Buddha did not claim to be God, a relative of God or a messenger or prophet of God. To Buddhists, the fact that he did not make such an assertion is yet another wonderful thing about Buddhism.

The Buddha is often regarded as being a human being throughout his lifetime, but the Tipitika contradicts this. Shortly after his enlightenment, a passerby saw him walking peacefully. The man was so impressed by the Buddha's clear, peaceful and brilliant countenance that he asked the Buddha if he was a man or a god. The Buddha replied that he was neither, he was a Buddha (an awakened one).

So the short answer to your question, is: neither. Buddhism was created by the Buddha.

Answer 4

Many would feel the Buddhists would demonstrate both ignorance and apathy on this question - they do not know and do not care. This is however a reasoned approach. The pursuit of information which is not possible to validate can waste a lot of a person's time and in the end is of little or no use in how one runs one's life. By concentrating on more meaningful and doable endeavours such as following the Eightfold Patha person can attain enlightenment quicker and escape the ccle of death and rebirth. The Eightfold Path covers this under Concentration which as areas identified as Right effort, Right mindfulness and Right concentration.
