The Lord Buddha practised and taught self realization and enlightenment through meditation. Buddhism does not teach anything about good deeds and sins nor does it teach in terms of "good, better and best". Buddhism does teach about 'skilful acts' (good deeds) and 'unskilful acts' (sins). The aim of Buddhism is to show one how to live a happy life here and now, as eternity is all around us. Buddhism does not teach of Heaven and hell as "absolutes". To do that would limit God or "The Ultimate Good" to a "destination". In conclusion, if one does not expect to find the ultimate good on any level, one will not be disappointed when one does not find it, because in Buddhism it does not exist; there will always be something "better than the best".

What are the meanings of what Buddhas carry?

There are a number of different manifestations of each Buddha and each one can hold various objects, or symbolically touch the ground, or hold the hands in various poses. The medicine Buddha holds a lotus flower and a bowl, for mixing medicines. Other Buddhas hold different objects, like a dorje (symbolic lightening bolt), a mandala (wheel of dharma), a sword or a drum.

The sword for example, is symbolic of the sword of wisdom, which cuts through illusions.
