What God(s) do Buddhists believe in?

Question

They believe in Buddha, but he is more like a spiritual role modal for everyone to aspire to.

Answer 1

Buddhism has No belief in a creator god, as does Hinduism {Brahma), Judaism {YHWH),
Christianity {Jesus), Islam {Allah), etc., etc.

Siddhartha Gautma {The Buddha's) teachings serve as a guide, not as an infallible law, as many other books do for so many people. And yes The Buddha is simply a role model, Buddhists do not worship the statue, but merely pay respect to The Buddha for his teachings, which bring the follower peace of mind and happiness.

Please Patiently read about Buddhism theory of the God-concept. Just sharing with you, not attempting to convince you. Thanks for reading.
do Buddhists believe that a God created everything and manipulate human lives? No, we do not. There are several reasons for this. Modern Scientists, Sociologists, Psychiatrists, and Psychologists, believed that religious ideas and especially the Creator-God idea have their origin in fear. Siddhartha Gautama{The Buddha)
said:

"Gripped by fear men go to the sacred mountains, sacred groves, sacred trees and shrines ~ Dhammapada 188"

Primitive man found himself in a dangerous and hostile world, the fear of wild animals, of not being able to find enough food, of injury or disease, and of natural phenomena like thunder, lightning and volcanoes was constantly with him. Finding no security, he created the idea of a God that gives him comfort in good times, courage in times of danger and consolation when things went wrong. To this day, you will notice that people become more religious at times of crises, you will hear them say that the belief in a God gives them the strength they need to deal with life. You will hear them explain that they believe in a particular God because they prayed in time of need and their prayer was answered. All this supports the Buddha's teaching that the God-idea is a response to fear and frustration. The Buddha taught us to try to understand our fears, to lessen our desires and to calmly and courageously accept the things we cannot change. He replaced fear, not with irrational belief but with rational understanding.

*The second reason the Buddhists do not believe in a Creator-God is because there does not seem to be any evidence to support this idea. There are numerous religions, all claiming that they alone have God's words preserved in their holy book, that they alone understand God's nature, that their God exists and that the Gods of other religions do not. Some claim that God is masculine, some that she is feminine and others that it is neuter. They are all satisfied that there is ample evidence to prove the existence of their God but they laugh in disbelief at the evidence other religions use to prove the existence of another God. For centuries, men have prayed to God for protection from war, from natural calamities and disease. Yet till today, these prayers remain unanswered. This is not surprising. Even less surprising is that so many different religions having spent so many centuries trying to prove the existence of their God there remains no real, substantial or irrefutable evidence.*

The third reason the Buddhists do not believe in a Creator-God is that the belief is not necessary. Some claim that the belief in a God is necessary in order to explain the origin on the universe. But this is not so. Science has very convincingly explained how the universe came into being without having to introduce the God-idea. Some claim that belief in God is necessary to have a happy, meaningful life. Again we can see that this is not so. There are millions of atheists and free-thinkers, not to mention many Buddhists, who live useful, happy and meaningful lives without belief in a God. Some claim that belief in God's power is necessary because humans, being weak, do not have the strength to help themselves. Once again, the evidence indicates the opposite. One often hears of people who have overcome great disabilities and handicaps, enormous odds and difficulties, through their own inner resources, through their own efforts and without belief in a God. Some claim that God is necessary in order to give man salvation. But this argument only holds good if you accept the theological concept of salvation and there is no reason nor any other reasonable basis to accept such a concept. Based on his own experience, the Buddha saw that each human being had the capacity to purify the mind, develop infinite love and compassion and perfect understanding. He shifted attention from the heavens to the heart and encouraged us to find solutions to our problems through logic, reasoning, and self-understanding.

But so many people believe in some form of a Creator, it must be true.

Not so. There was a time when everyone believed that the world was flat, but they were all wrong. The number of people who believe in an idea is no measure of the truth or falsehood of that idea. The only way we can tell whether an idea is true or not is by looking at the facts and examining the evidence. If people continue to believe in God, they do so through blind faith, and blind faith is simply holding on to a belief when reason, logic and the evidence says otherwise.

Answer 2

In the Buddhist path there are nine principles: (1) The creation is eternal; therefore there is no need to accept a creator. (2) This cosmic manifestation is false. (3) “I am” is the truth. (4) There is repetition of birth and death. (5) Lord Buddha is the only source of understanding the truth. (6) The principle of nirväna, or annihilation, is the ultimate goal. (7) The philosophy of Buddha is the only philosophical path. (8) The Vedas are compiled by human beings. (9) Pious activities, showing mercy to others and so on are advised.

Additional information: Lord Krishna appeared as Lord Buddha in order to stop the unnecessary killing of innocent animals that were been sacrificed in the name of the Vedas, therefore he preached "ahimsa" no violence, and denied the Vedas, so people would stop killing the animals and eat them.

Answer 3

it fairly is not in all hazard black and white, and it relies upon on how heavily you're taking it or how orthodox you desire to be. To be an orthodox Buddhist, and settle for each thing approximately it, which consists of its cosmology, you will possibly ought to disclaim the existence of God. Buddha made it sparkling that he did no longer have faith in a author God. despite the fact that, you will follow a lot of Buddhism and the Buddhist techniques in spite of a theory in God, such as meditation and mindfulness.

Answer 4

Buddhism is a non-theistic belief system. The notion of "god" is not a part of the general system. However, certain Mahayana Sutras are consistent with the notion of the Buddha as a supreme essence, different from a sentient god but still possessing the divine nature we often associate with god(s). In western parlance, this is often referred to as a "godhead" akin to the Trinity of Christianity or the Brahman of the Hindu faith - a single divine essence that is manifest in different sentient forms.

Answer 5

We believe in the concept of deities or devas, but they are not omnipotent, creator-type beings. We find the concept of an omnipotent creator god to be wholly illogical.
