Buddhavacana texts have special status as sacred scripture and are generally seen as in accord with the teachings of the historical Buddha, which is termed “the Dharma”.<\/p>\n
Do Buddhists believe in karma? <\/h2>\n
For Buddhists, karma has implications beyond this life. Bad actions in a previous life can follow a person into their next life and cause bad effects (which Westerners are more likely to interpret as ‘bad luck’). Even an Enlightened One is not exempt from the effects of past karma.<\/p>\n
Buddhism and Christianity are two very different religions. Buddhism is generally non-theistic and does not believe in a Creator God, while Christianity is monotheistic and believes in a God who created the world. These two worldviews lead to different values and beliefs, which impact how each religion is practiced.<\/p>\n
Can anyone be a Buddhist <\/h3>\n
Anyone can be a Buddhist regardless of their background or identity. The only requirement is that they take refuge in the Triple Gem, which is the Buddha, the Dharma (the Buddha’s teachings), and the Sangha (the community of Buddhists).<\/p>\n
The Buddhist teachings on devas (‘gods’) and other deities are quite interesting. Basically, the Buddha taught that there are many different types of beings in the universe, including both human and non-human beings. Some of these beings are more powerful than others, and some have special powers or abilities. However, the Buddha taught that all beings are ultimately equal and that none are necessarily any better or worse than any other. In addition, the Buddha taught that while some beings may inhabit different levels or planes of existence, all beings ultimately share the same ultimate goal: to attain Nirvana.<\/p>\n
Conclusion <\/h2>\n
There are many different branches of Buddhism, each with their own beliefs. However, there are some common beliefs shared by all Buddhists. These include the belief in karma (the law of cause and effect), rebirth (the cycle of life, death, and reincarnation), and the Four Noble Truths (the existence of suffering, the cause of suffering, the end of suffering, and the path to the end of suffering). Buddhists also believe in the Three Jewels: the Buddha (the Enlightened One), the Dharma (the Buddha’s teachings), and the Sangha (the community of Buddhists).<\/p>\n
