What do Buddhist believe about God?

Answer 1

Not in particular. They believe that the Eight-fold path will lead them to enlightenment, as preached by Guatama, or The Buddha. You can be Buddhist and still believe in any god you desire, or also believe in another religion.

AnswerIf they're Christian-Buddhist, or Muslim-Buddhist, or any other Theistic-religion-Buddhist, then, Yes some Buddhists believe in God. BTW there are also Atheist-Buddhist, Agnostic-Buddhist, Wiccan-Buddhist, etc.

True Buddhism is not a religion but rather a Philosophy on "ending suffering."Belief in god/s is not required. Cj

Answer 2

"God" is not a concept in Buddhism. It is up to each individual to find their own path to enlightenment. If gods exist they do not offer any help or hindrance to people.

Buddhists come in all sects. From gods to no gods. The sects with no gods are the ones that are more pure doctrine.

The general answer is that they believe that if there is any sort of deity, it does not interact with human progress towards enlightenment. This progress results from human endeavour not divine intervention, Buddhism has no role for a deity either in a creation story, judgement, salvation or intervention.

Answer 3

Buddhism acknowledges the existence of heavenly creatures and several heavenly kingdoms and a king of all the heavens. But it is not at all similar to the Abrahamic God concept. This king of heavens; Sakra do not control the worldly matters, neither created it. It is more of a position which is held by many deities over the eons, so he is not even immortal. But very close to immortality being able to live more than any other deity for nearly trillions of years. So, according to Buddhism, the Sakra who is ruling the heavenly kingdom has lived almost as long as the current cycle of earth. But he has a birth and a death, and some other deity will come to his throne in another eon.
