In Theravada Buddhism, there is no central god or creator deity as found in many other religions. Instead, the focus is on the teachings of the historical Buddha, Siddhartha Gautama, who attained enlightenment and shared the path to liberation from suffering. While there are celestial beings and deities recognized in the tradition, they are not worshipped as gods but are considered beings with their own karmic cycles. The ultimate goal in Theravada Buddhism is to achieve Nirvana, a state beyond worldly existence.
