According to Helmuth Von Glasenapp, “Buddhism believes in the existence of a large number of impermanent gods (devas) and men who became gods (buddhas). ). He believes in a moral world order (dharma), but categorically denies the existence of an eternal creator and ruler of the world. Who is Buddha? According to Henry Clarke, Warren Buddha is "a human being, male of sex, who acquires holiness, who meets a teacher, who lives like a hermit and loves virtue, who lacks neither determination nor ardent zeal, can, by these eight conditions met, make the most of your life. their sincere wish to succeed” and through these characteristics they were able to recognize the true Buddha (Warren 33). Through the discourse of this article, I will discuss the creation of the world, belief in gods, the ultimate goal of Buddhism and its comparison with Christianity. Usually when people hear about Buddhism they associate it with monks, which is correct, but there are many other different forms of Buddhism. According to World Religions Today, “high in the Himalayas, a Tibetan monk dressed in a warm red woolen robe locks himself in a cave for three years and three months of meditative solitude” (Esposito, Fasching, Lewis 392) . So, do Buddhists believe in gods or goddesses? According to Buddhism, “Buddhism is a philosophy of becoming; therefore, he cannot recognize the existence of an eternal, permanent, personal god” (Glasenapp 35). Glasenhapp also discusses the character of Buddha, where he says: "He was regarded not as a mere formulator of dry metaphysical propositions, but as a very wise and compassionate friend to his fellow men" (1). According to Henry Clarke Warren, "The term 'Buddha' means 'Enlightened One' and means that the person to whom it is applied is resolved middle of paper...... two distinct entities where the mind is always present when the body dies. Since the mind and body are separate, they believe that the mind has acquired karma over lifetimes. The mind is said to simply go through cycles of birth and death; the spirit never dies. I believe the ultimate goal of Buddhism is to find a positive state of mind that you, as an individual, are able to control. In conclusion, Buddhism and Christianity both explain the world and worldly things. They both teach a message of peace and non-violence. I learned that the two religions have much more in common than I thought. Through my experience, I came to have a greater understanding and interest in Buddhism that I did not have before. I learned that it is important not only to be open to new ideas, but also to be able to embrace new experiences..
