That there is no personal God who creates everything and to whom prayers can be directed.

Thomas1970

At its purest level, essentially nothing (a loaded word, possibly open for misinterpretation), for enlightenment -- which is the ultimate goal -- is beyond dualistic conceptions or "beliefs." Though if you wish to understand the essential teachings, practices, or codes of conduct, simply "Google" for many great websites explaining such.

Sorry, that was meant to be disagree.

agrees: Buddha is not and never claimed to be a God.

Buddhism is more a philosophy than a religion and the underlying theme seems to be……..

You have the right to live your life any way you want so long as you do not deliberately hurt yourself or anyone else in the process.

Modern Buddhism believes that there is no God and that the power of the universe will help them. That the power is within them, and they chant this chant, which is supposed to fulfill them. Someone gave us a magazine which talked about their beliefs, haven't read it much though.

Gautama Buddha was the founder of what we know as Buddhism, a spiritual tradition that is recognized throughout the world as one of compassion, peace, and understanding.
He is not considered a "GOD".

Buddhism doesn't answer whether there is a God or not, however there is a belief in higher beings or you could say gods. The term Buddha means one who is awake, the world that people perceive is an illusion. Delusions are desires, and attachments that prevent people from experiencing bliss, or super conscienceness. When a person has acheived enlightment from all delusions they can experience supreme happiness, and be free from all suffering. A true peace, that is not dependent on external circumstances is obtained. This in Buddhist terms is gained through virteous living, practicing Dharma, regular meditation, and loving kindness. Loving kindness not only for friends or family, or people that a person likes, but for all living beings whether they are known to there mind or not. The source of happiness is within the mind, for example if you go to a beautiful beach, it is not the beach that makes you happy, but it is your state of mind that creates the happiness.
