None. The Buddha told his followers that any belief in a God was another form of grasping and attachment which led to suffering.
Some Buddhists do beleive that there is a Deva realm in which certain enlightened beings (Devas) enjoy a finite blissful existence, but these beings are not Gods and their time in this realm is not permanent.
None. Some Buddhists believe that there exist God-like beings in higher realms, known as devas. But these, like all other beings are temporary and transitory. The reason that the Buddha taught us not to believe in Gods is because there has been no irrefutable evidence for them. I once read somewhere that there was over 5000 different religions still being practiced on Earth, and with the exception of a few (including Buddhism) all had different Gods and cosmology.
None. The Buddha was a man, not a god, and he stated many times that what he taught was the end of suffering; that teachings about gods did not contribute to an end to suffering, so he didn't teach about gods. However, there were lots of believers in a variety of gods around during his life, so they seem to have crept into Buddhist stories.
Buddhist believes in Karma, There are no creator Gods, but Buddhism believes in divas, who are the reincarnations of people with very good karma.
Answer:
Buddhism believes in less than one god. There is no central deity in Buddhism, each individual is on their own to pursue the path to enlightenment. The example of the Buddha shows us that it can be done, the instructions of the Eightfold Path show us how it can be done, the support of the community of Buddhists helps us.
Here are comments and opinions from a variety of WikiAnswer contributors:
As far as I know there are not a proscribed number of Gods in Buddhism. The Buddhist path is essentially one of self realisation, supported by the teachings of beings who have already attained realisation.
None, its a philosophy.x
There are no Buddhist Gods in the sense of the Abrahamic or other deity-centered religions. The Buddhas are often revered in a very similar way to deities in other religions and Buddhism does have varying teachings regarding the exact nature and definition of God but, from an 'official' perspective, there are no Gods in Buddhism.
None. Buddhists do not believe in any immortal, all powerful gods.
We do believe that people, if they have lived a good life and are on the path to enlightenment, can attain a temporary existence in a realm we call the God Realm. But these beings are not all powerful and not immortal. It is a way-station on the path of enlightenment.
None in the Western sense of a theistic God. However, in some branches of Buddhism, such as Tibetan Buddhism, various deities are involved in Buddhist worship.
None. Though some Buddhist tradition teach that there is a God Realm in the afterlife in which enlightened beings called Devas live for a long time, but not forever as a reward.
Contrary to popular belief, Buddhism is polytheistic, not atheistic (if it was atheistic, it wouldn't have become a religion). However, they do not believe in a Supreme Creator.
Buddists wear nothing but robes as a sign of restect to their gods.
How many gods do Buddhists have? technically none, but Siddhartha Gautama was the founder, and often times he is represented in a "godly" fashion. i'm not an expert, but that's what i know.
There are 18 000 buddists in Sweden.
Because Christianity is not practiced by many there. I believe there are a lot of Buddists there.
They believe in many gods.
Buddists follow the teachings of Buddah and do not worship a God
They have many, many gods.
Buddhists do not believe in any gods, they believe in self enlightenment.
Buddhism is a non-theistic religion. It does not deal with belief or disbelief in God.
As with any country with so many religions it depends on the person you ask. Many people believe in many gods, many believe in none and many believe in the Western Gods.
