Buddhists talk about nirvana in very much the same terms as monotheists describe God.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The deepest difference between religions is not that between polytheism and monotheism.
I don't call myself a Buddhist. I'm a free spirit. I believe I'm here on earth to admire and enjoy it; that's my religion.
A Buddhist or a good atheist is as acceptable to God as a good Catholic.
I'm a Buddhist.
To a Buddhist, contradictions only exist in a mind that has been forced to cultivate them.
There are many, many Christians who practice Buddhism, and they become better and better Christians all the time.
But deluded people don't realize that their own mind is the Buddha. They keep searching outside.
Religion is a search for transcendence. But transcendence isn't necessarily sited in an external god, which can be a very unspiritual, unreligious concept.
I think all religions can agree on certain definitions of God and concepts of God, like God being the god of love, the great 'I am' energy.
The only theism worthy of our respect believes in God not because of the way the world is made but in spite of that. The only theism that is no less profound than the Buddha's atheism is that represented in the Bible by Job and Jeremiah.
