I saw and picked up this booklet along a walkway. I read it and learnt a few things. It is interesting.
Page 9 says..."The Buddha never said anything like 'worship me and you shall be rewarded'. He also never threatened to punish anyone should they not believe in Him or follow His Teachings.
He stressed that everyone should seek, understand and experience the Truth for themselves, and not to have blind faith in anyone or anything.
THUS CHRISTIANS, HINDUS, MUSLIMS, JEWS, BUDDHISTS, TAOISTS, AND EVEN ATHEISTS, ARE ALL ABLE TO ENJOY AFTERLIFE. BUT OF COURSE PROVIDED, THAT THEY HAVE BEEN 'GOOD' PEOPLE."
Page 36 says...Question: "In Buddhism, why isn't there a belief in a supreme god that created the universe?" Answer: "Buddhists tend to be fairly realistic in such matters and do not believe in creation myths such as the universe emerging from a cosmic egg, or created by an old man with a long white beard. If anything we believe that the universe has always existing..."
Note: As for me, I believe in the Triune God. And when I pray or talk with Him, He comforts me and touches my heart. God is real to me. Alleluia !
