Buddhism God Help

[OutHouse]

I was in a Tibet store tonight and they had a lot of statues of the gods of Buddhism. there was one where of a god sitting down with a naked woman sitting on his lap facing him with her legs and arms wrapped around him.

what god is that and what is he the god of?

 

[Orsorum]

Like the man's in charge.

 

[HappyPuppy]

That god sounds like me. I just can't seem to keep the wimmens from wrapping their nekkid legs aroundme. 😀

im pretty sure there isnt, at least how the judeo-christian god is usually portrayed.

There's no god in Buddism, but that doesn't stop people from acting like there is, including making offerings to statues*, and making statements like "Help me Budda".

* I see this in some Asian restraunts.

 

[crazycarl]

there are a whole lot of different saints, boddhisattvas, other buddhas, and other spirits/demons/gods etc that are in different strains of buddhism. unlike christianity, the development of buddhism was never controlled by a central authority like the pope or violence used to enforce doctrinal conformity, so it has really branched out and adapted to older religions and traditions wherever it has shown up.
i would ask the shop owners if they know what god it is.

Stores are businesses
Businesses exist for money and profit

Therefore, stores exist for money and profit

I, AgaBoogaBoo, have hereby come to the conclusion that it is possible they have created it to receive attention and profit from those aroused by similar ideas.

"While Buddhism does not deny the existence of supernatural beings (indeed, many are discussed in Buddhist scripture), it does not ascribe power for creation, salvation or judgement to them. Like humans, they are regarded as having the power to affect worldly events, and so some Buddhist schools associate with them via ritual."

Maybe he's the god of bootay!

Nef fest... Anyway, as far as the Buddhist god thing goes it depends on whether it's a belief of Greater Vehicle or Lesser Vehicle. In Greater Vehicle Siddhartha Gautauma is a god and in Lesser Vehicle he is simply a teacher.

It is in thy best interest that thy forgive thou kind sir. But be warned, the mighty Buddha will want retribution for your unkind and unwise asking of material possessions from my person.

There are different forms of Buddhism, and in some forms what they are doing is what your suppose to do, your suppose to make offers, and your suppose to pray to Buddha. This form of buddhism is as old as Buddhism it self, and has text from the time of Buddha to support it.

[MySoS]

In pureland Buddhism aderents believe if they have faith in the Buddha of Light/Life they will be reborn into a place like heaven. Sort of god like but not really a god.
