Question 11: IF WE DISCARD THE IDEA THAT GOD CREATED EVERYTHING, THEN WHAT WOULD STILL DEFINE GOD?Answer: We could take a more flexible approach, considering that God is not responsible for creating everything but instead has the role of overseeing the realms. In Eastern beliefs, the Jade Emperor (God) is viewed as a manager rather than a creator. Alternatively, we could understand God differently: God may have created everything and let it all go, allowing everything to function independently, each bearing its responsibility and evolving independently. In this view, God is like a source of creation and relinquishment, leaving people with only inspiration and faith to turn to.In this way, God becomes a concept of a common origin for all beings, reminding all beings that we should love one another as siblings, sharing the same parents. It’s just as parentsbring us into the world and let us live independently. We must learn to face life’s challenges on our own – to grow, enjoy, endure, and remember our origins to love one another. God then becomes a foundation for compassion among people, a beautiful symbol rather than a belief in supernatural authority that created, controls, and governs everything.Here, God symbolizes transcendent morality, which humanity must look up to for self-cultivation.#Religions, #Buddhism, #DialogueBuddhismReligions, #Religious, #Buddhist, #Truedharma, #Meditation, #Enlightement, #Buddhatemple, #TheLawofKarma, #BuddhismforBeginners, #Janna, #JannaOrderMonastery,
