emmfullness Crono725 I think it?s a grand religion. Full of nirvana and such. Sure is. But, so is Hinduism. I guess that comes with originating from the same country, though. 15 But, Buddhism doesn't think that gods have anything to do with the abtainment of nirvana. Hinduism does. 16

Hinduism does. 16 Buddhism believes in the devine nature of all forms of life. Therefore, all forms of life are connected to eachother and are all part of one supreme force. Upon the creation of Buddhism, this force would have been considered the god Atman (aht-mahn). Atman was "the All" of Hinduism. So, essentially, Buddhism took Atman and then left all the other Hindu gods and goddesses alone and ignored them as not important towards one's quest for enlightenment or "nirvana" since they were also the creation of Atman like everything else was. Buddha thought it better to go straight to the major source rather than work with the lesser gods or goddesses. 17
