Is Buddhism transtheistic

Answer 1

The Buddha's Dhamma only deals with four things suffering, the cause of suffering, the end of suffering, and the way to the end of suffering.

These topics deal with our own relationship to our selves.

1. A bad relationship 2. the causes of this bad inner relationship 3. A very wonderful inner relationship 4. The way to that very wonderful inner relationship.

Those four topics are very neutral like the breath, and grounded completely in the present moment. Everyone breaths and no one owns the breath. Simerly these topics exist right here and right now, and to grow from these observations is not for or against any Theology. It is separate from Theology and has nothing to do with it.

Answer 2

Transtheism:Is an objective belief that neither completely asserting nor rejecting the existence of Divinities.

Characteristics of a transtheistic view:

1. Neither asserting nor rejecting the existence of Divinities.

2. An objective faith or belief system to the existence or nonexistence of Divinities. That is any and all divinities may or may not exist so we are free to enjoying but not clinging to any given viewpoint of faith or belief.

3. Divinities are not the central viewpoint of reality. Because divinities may or may not exist we are free to have something else as our focal point of reality.

4. Formulates a response to the either/or question of Divinities having a existence / nonexistence in relationship to our reality. How can we justify that Divinities can and can't exist as a reality? Generally the god beyond and or the impersonal god are used here.

I consider myself a transtheist and have read some Taoism. At this point I would say that it is transtheistic.
