What are the names of buddhists gods?

In: Buddhism [Edit categories]

Answer:

There are no Buddhist gods. The Buddha himself rejected the concept of gods that require worship, created the world, or have power over human life. He even stated that wasting time on questions that have no provable answers (Is there a god, how was the world created, etc.) diverts mankind from escaping the cycle of death and rebirth while seeking enlightenment.
