Do Buddhists believe in Gods? Yes, some aspect Gautama Buddha rejected the existence of a creator deity (One God to be transcendence power)refused to endorse many views on creation and stated that questions on the origin of the world are not ultimately useful for ending suffering,otherwise Buddhism influenced cultural function by Hindu,peoples later lord Buddha time divided by Sangkharajarn(the elder head of Hinduism) Nevertheless, Buddhism emphasizes the system of causal relationships underlying the universe (pratītyasamutpāda) which constitute the natural order (Dharma) and source of enlightenment. No dependence of phenomena on a supernatural reality is asserted in order to explain the behaviour of matter. According to the doctrine of the Buddha, a human being must study Nature (Dharma vicaya) in order to attain personal wisdom (prajna) regarding the nature of things (Dharma). In Buddhism, the sole aim of spiritual practice is the complete alleviation of stress in samsara, which is called nirvana. Some teachers tell students beginning Buddhist meditation that the notion of divinity is not incompatible with Buddhism,and at least one Buddhist scholar has indicated that describing Buddhism as nontheistic may be overly simplistic but many traditional theist beliefs are considered to pose a hindrance to the attainment of nirvana,the highest goal of Buddhist practice. Despite this apparent nontheism, Buddhists consider veneration of the worthy ones very important, although the two main traditions of Buddhism differ mildly in their reverential attitudes. While Theravada Buddhists view the Buddha as a human being who attained nirvana or Buddhahood, through human efforts, some Mahayana Buddhists consider him an embodiment of the cosmic Dharmakaya, born for the benefit of others. In addition, some Mahayana Buddhists worship their chief Bodhisattva, Avalokiteshvara, and hope to embody him. Buddhists accept the existence of beings in higher realms (see Buddhist cosmology), known as devas, but they, like humans, are said to be suffering in samsara,[18] and are not necessarily wiser than us. In fact, the Buddha is often portrayed as a teacher of the gods,and superior to them.Despite this there are believed to be enlightened devas.
