Meet the Gods of Buddhism, as a philosophical doctrine

Buddha Gautama said that the traditional gods were out of place when it came to the afterlife, this as a perspective of liberation, since Buddhism is a religion without God, and therefore discovering who are the Gods of Buddhism, allows you to know a series of practices and teachings for your individual transformation, do not stop reading it.

Buddhism

Buddhism was born in the City of India between the XNUMXth and XNUMXth centuries BC. C., there it managed to spread to most of East Asia and declined its practice in the country of origin during the Middle Ages.

We must begin by knowing that mainly Buddhism is a world-known religion, with a completely non-theistic philosophical and spiritual doctrine. "Non-theism" are all the currents that do not meditate or reason under the belief of a creator or absolute God, there is a huge difference between atheists and non-theists, in the latter they accept beliefs in deities and/or superior entities , as spirits, however they are observed as beings that change.

There are some philosophers, such as thinkers of Buddhism, who indicate that Buddhist learning is based on not denying, but also not accepting the existence of a creator God, affirming the teaching of the founder of Buddhism Siddhartha Gautama (Buddha). In addition, there are different currents such as Tibetan Buddhism.

Most of the Buddhists of the most prominent currents such as Mahayana y Vajrayana, accept and assume the permanence of beings as superior deities, but do not assume the existence of a God as the only creator.

It is important to note that Buddhism is the fourth religion with the most fans, believers and practitioners, it has more than 17.000 million of the world's population as its members, since it encompasses and brings together a diversity of gods, traditions and spiritual beliefs.

What is true in its entirety is that Buddhists maintain the firm conviction of the four truths, these were evidenced to Siddhartha Gautama (Buddha) while meditating and, although each Buddhist school transforms the interpretation of these truths, they all instill the practice of those that we will name below, since they give rise to the different gods of Buddhism:

The Four Noble Truths

When Siddhartha Gautama (Buddha) awake from his great meditation, what he did initially was to give a speech to all his companions, which he called Dhammacakkappavattana, which means the setting in motion of the wheel of dharma, which included the fundamental bases for the acceptance of suffering, these are the so-called four noble truths:

1. El duḥkha, It is synonymous with suffering and discontent, its conception is due to the fact that life is totally imperfect, both in that birth, illness and death are suffering, as well as being associated or separated from what is desired or not is suffering, clinging to and yearning for this type of situation without permanence in life, which makes beings unhappy.
2. The origin of duhkha means desire, wanting, longing and thirst for desires, or any kind of circumstantial satisfaction, that gives us pleasure, some kind of person, achievement, goal, material or spiritual object, which incredibly immediately produces karma .
3. the cessation of duhkha, is called nirvana, which means that suffering can be extinguished when its cause is extinguished, when the desire to achieve what we long for so much is abandoned, leading to the end of rebirth.
4. To achieve the cessation mentioned above, there is a path that is known for its nobility, which is called octuplet, this path involves aspects such as wisdom, meditation, ethical conduct, and training, in order to release the prejudices of the karma of the duhkha.

A large part of the Buddhist believers fervently teach the objective of overcoming the duhkha and samsara, these will be given either by nirvana or by the wonderful path of Buddhism, they are channeled by the Buddha, the dharma and sangha. On the other hand, there are two main branches of Buddhism, which are called Buddhism. Theravada, which means the school of the elderly and the Mahayana called as the great way.

The three jewels used by the gods of Buddhism

As a whole, the believers of Buddhism venerate and protect themselves physically and spiritually in the trirathnas, which translated means "the three jewels": the Buddha, the Dharma and the Sangha. Next we will name the conceptions of the three jewels according to the two branches of Buddhism:

Buddha

In buddhism Mahāyāna different buddhas are kept like Amitabha y variochana, other saints who reside in various worlds, as well as supramundane beings, these deities according to this Buddhism can be contacted, listening to their requests to all human beings in this world, however the Buddha is a spiritual king who protects and watches over for those who believe in this branch of Buddhism.

While in Buddhism Theravada, a Buddha is someone who finished his cycles of rebirths and through these he has awakened by his own efforts and mental sense, according to the related texts he is a true buddha he suffers from back pain, because of the weight of wisdom he supports, it is difficult to understand and possess enormous psychic powers.

Dharma

As a second jewel we have that Buddhism stops us to think about the mechanism that can be used for the practice of this type of religion, and for this there is the dharma, that it is nothing more than the teaching of true nature as a means of life, to which we should not cling at any time, therefore it is not what we fervently believe in, but in practice, as the means that will lead us to our common destiny.

It is said that the truth will always be the truth and that is why the Dharma It is evidenced as the main protagonist of nature, as the maximum universal expression, the best way of seeing things, as well as the natural of the past, present and future.

Sangha

This third point as a jewel is where Buddhists live, the space as a monastic community of monks and nuns, who have made the decision to comply with discipline, personal and spiritual growth, as an ideal way according to the norms and guidelines of Siddhartha Gautama (Buddha), with renunciations of the great habitualities of daily life, staying only with a robe and a bowl.

In turn, they prepare to transmit the Dharma de Siddhartha Gautama (Buddha) in a field of spiritual merit, imparting the teachings and maintaining his community under the beliefs and learning of Buddhism, as elevated beings, who have achieved spiritual elevation.

The Five Commandments or Buddhist Precepts:

• Do not take what has not been given to you.
• Do not consume intoxicants that disturb, distort or negatively alter the mind.
• Do not kill.
• Maintain a correct sexual conduct, and in accordance with all the beings that surround you.
• Do not speak with lies, gossip, rudeness, ostentation and / or talk in vain.

They are mainly characterized as the most important towards the path of true encounter and objective of Buddhist philosophy, however this tendency interprets that Siddhartha Gautama (Buddha) is the eternal illumination, omnipresent sign of the universe and in addition to this he is a teacher of these gods of Buddhism, they surpass him in teaching and methodology, you can also meet powerful creatures such as the wood nymphs.

All the gods of Buddhism can be easily found in most Buddhist temples and monasteries, these as important figures in all schools to be simple to identify them are characterized by their forms, symbols and origins, which are given by the six Buddhist kingdoms and thousands of world cycles, most of these remain represented as deities living below and above the human realm.

Realm of the Demigods – Asuras

Conclusion

As has been observed throughout the article, the Buddhist gods represent powerful beings, strong in character and spirit, full of energy and above all teaching to impart and be known by all humans, they maintain their own form and lifestyle at all its levels. The gods of Buddhism are superior, they are also different from the human kingdom, making it clear exactly that one thing is to be a God of Buddhism and another is to be Siddhartha Gautama (Buddha).

Paradise is only reached by those deities who have passed the entire final path, what differentiates them from many gods is that they have not fully reached the Nirvana by his own decision, and the reason is his wonderful intention to help and share the philosophy of life, the one that is framed in teachings, that make you see the most appropriate way to live in these times of change.

The true science of this religion is in its great and wonderful gods of Buddhism, these that through their gifts and specific qualities, help human beings to achieve the tranquility of their longed for dreams and goals, in addition to this we will name some qualities What does practicing Buddhism bring?

• Humility.
• Patience.
• Tranquillity.
• Love
• Simplicity.
• Inner force.
• Impermanence.
• Tolerance.
• Respect.
• Appreciation.
• Effort.
• Positive attitude.

The gods of Buddhism are the most complete and important beings when we talk about this religion, due to their greatness and imposingness in the face of problems and requests made to them, they bring with them the tranquility of achieving what is desired, the strengthening of feelings and personality. , eliminate errors and change the vision of things towards the universe.

Now, Buddhism should not be confused with Hinduism, so we will show the following differences, so that in this way you complete the global information of this content:

• The religion of Buddhism has an elemental founder who is Siddhartha Gautama (Buddha), Hinduism has no founder.
• Siddhartha Gautama (Buddha) is the superior being of the gods of Buddhism, while in Hinduism the most important deities are Ganesha, Vishnu, Shiva, Kali, among many others.
• As places of devotion, Buddhism has Buddhist monasteries and temples, pagodas, viharas and stupas, and Hindus only have temples.
• Among the most famous practices of Buddhism are meditation and the Path of the Eight Noble Practices, on the other hand in Hinduism there is meditation, yoga, contemplation, jnana and offerings in temples.
• They both have holy scriptures but Buddhism upholds the word of The Pali Canon and in Hinduism they follow the sacred scriptures called The Bhagavad-gita, The Mahabharata, The Puranas and The Ramaiana.

Reflection

We must mention with all certainty that the vast majority of Buddhists are not violent, as well as the vast majority of Muslims are not terrorists, despite this, they have been persecuted by minority religions such as the Islam and Christianity. However, it is true that Buddhism, being mixed with politics, race or nationalism, can become dangerous since they will be different interests and the Buddhist must act in the best way according to the learning acquired.

To conclude, we can say that the gods of Buddhism contain the richest of teachings, being one of the best known religions on the planet, however not all people know what their followers, believers and adepts really believe, those who know and understand know that this Buddhist culture is more than a religion as such.

Since the main thing is to achieve and achieve personal growth, as well as the growth of good practices and rules of coexistence, in which kindness, compassion and love can be highlighted.

Without forgetting that a human being completely in harmony, both internally and externally, is an individual capable of achieving the goals, achievements and opportunities that he requires, only relying on the necessary tools, being able to use the religion, politics or ideology with which he is feel comfortable, and this gives you emotional, sentimental and even financial stability.

When an individual manages to achieve the above conditions, he is a being who will impart his emotions and knowledge with greater satisfaction and wisdom, will know the place that his neighbor occupies and will give him the value that each one needs in his life and in his environment, becoming a fundamental pillar for this changing and competitive society between genders and individualities that we face daily. To raise your awareness and be in contact with beings full of spiritual energy, you could take a look at the angel caller.
