BUDDHA DHARMA AND GOD ~ TASHI DONDEN

Namo  Arya Avalokiteswaraya
In this note  as per my Knowledge of Buddha Dharma I want to clarify misunderstanding  about Buddha Dhama  from Tirtikas Perspective
Misunderstanding  Buddha Dharma doesn’t belive in God
Most common thing  Tirtikas say about Buddha dharma is that Buddhists don’t believe in god and  they are  Nastikas  this is a big misconception.  As I studied Buddha Dharma  says there is God . The Buddha Dharma Classifies the  samsara into six realms they are God, Titans Asuras,  Human,  Animal, Hungry ghost and Hell beings.
When we use the Term God  or some supreme being deity  we need to  understand from tirtikas perspective what they mean by God.
He is omniscient,  Omnipresent, Omnipotent.
We Buddhists  know that presence of  Tatathagata is not limited to particular space so he is omnipresent
We Buddhists know that  Tathagata is know er of  three times omniscient.
WHEN WE COME TO THIRD POINT   OMNIPOTENT . We know that there is omnipotent energy in the universe. But  presence of a OMNIPOTENT being we don’t agree. If there was a omnipotent God  world need  not suffer   need  to go through all the suffering .  We  approach scientifically  law of cause and effect. But Tirtiakas may say that he is Omnipotent but due to the karma  sentient beings have to go through all the suffering and finally attain liberation or salvation.

But we Buddhists don’t  agree if there is DEFINITION OF OMNIPOTENT BEING MEANS ALL POWERFUL SO HE MUST HAVE THE POWER TO CHANGE THE KARMA. So if particular Omnipotent deity as no power to change karma  we Buddhists don’t consider that particular God Or Deity to be omnipotent..
