Buddha kept silent about God

Buddha kept silent about God. This means that God is beyond words, mind and logic as said in the Veda. Buddha means the Buddhi or Jnana yoga that speaks about the absolute God. Thus He is the greatest incarnation of God. If one thinks Him as atheist, there can be no better fool. Mohammed showed the formless medium in which God exists, which is energy and this is presented by Shankara, because basically energy and awareness are one and the same. The prophet itself means human incarnation. Prophet is carrying on the message of God.

The divine knowledge is in Him. Is He not greater than other human beings? Message of divine knowledge is the characteristic of God (Satyam Jnanam -- the Veda) and so we say God is in Him. Why do you deny it, when God is omnipresent? Then every human being should give the same message of God, since God is omnipresent. But why Mohammed alone gave it? Because the power of God or knowledge of God is in him only. Then the power of God, in the form of knowledge is not omnipresent. In any case, you have to accept that either God or His Power is only in Prophet Mohammed. That is what human incarnation is.

You are fighting with us, without analysing the concept of human incarnation. Thus Buddha, Mohammed and Shankara have made the single phase, which was essential to the level of the followers at that time. The concept of human incarnation was well established by Krishna and Jesus. You can find all three branches of Hinduism (Advaita, Visishta Advaita, Dvaita) in Christianity because Jesus told that He and God are one and the same (Advaita), that He is the son of God (Visishta Advaita) and that He is the messenger of God (Dvaita). The stage of philosophy was expressed according to the required stage of the people of that time.

that would mean that whoever you're talking about is in fact counterfeit! Since the Word of God says that "no one may come to the Father, unless through the son" (talking about Jesus) and Jesus actually said "Many will come in my Name to decieve others". If there is a doctrine that you should devote yourself to, then it must include God which buddhism does not. You've put a boundary Between you and Him, therefore missing out on your TRUE calling...and that was just a sorry excuse right there!

God comes in human form in all places of the earth and also He comes in every generation (watch?v=X8Dg3-DK4qE)

I suggest you listen to the other discourses also.

Buddhism and Advaita are a BIG JOKE! . Dvaita is the ONLY truth!!!

[champworrior]

that is not true. Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) had told muslim clearly that he is not God and he is only a chosen human being for bringing the true path recognize by god which is Islam. he also CLEARLY stated that he is not the one people need to worship but only worship the one true god. You had not understand what god is and what prophet is. Hence you don't even understand what Buddhism is. Buddha had never claim that he is god but unfortunately you guys think that he is god.

this video would be so much more powerful if you spoke a bit slower and got rid of the echo on your voice. it makes it difficult to understand what you are saying.

Buddhism does not aim to explain God nor creation. Buddha foresaw that people would just wander their mind in this illusionary concept and call him "God". Buddha means "The Enlightened One." The One that overcame the "I"

The bickering about "God" has created so much suffering already and seemed no end in sight. Time is running out. Contemplate the Four Noble Truths, and follow the Eight Fold Path and Five Percepts of Buddha's teaching. Peace within us, happiness will stay.

Thank you for this video. I totally agree, Buddha was by no means an atheist or an agnostic.

While Advaita and Buddhism have some major differences, I believe that Buddha was very influenced by Advaita in his view of the Vedas.
