(Frequently Asked Questions About Buddhism)

15. Is Buddhism totally Atheist; Is it against God?
Ans : Buddhism is a journey, it is a path of experience, it is a path of becoming one.

The question is like this : A person climbs a mountain peak & reaches top & if he is asked 'Do you believe in the mountain peak?'

Buddha, in the original Pali language is called as 'Bhagava' or 'Bhagavanta' which means God, this is because, after reaching the final Nibbana state, one becomes one with the transcendental ocean of light(& life) which people of other religions call as God.

Buddha in his lectures has definitely called 'Itipo so Bhagava' meaning 'Thats why I am Bhagava/God'

Why? Because the path of Buddha is like this : Every creature is like water in a bottle, if somehow the bottle is opened and its water is poured into ocean, the water loses its identity, now it becomes ocean. Buddhism is the path of doing this, within you.
