Who is the divine Buddhist god?
Although Buddhists do not believe in the existence of an omnipotent creator God, veneration of the ideal and noble ones is also seen as important. While Theravada Buddhists consider the Buddha to be a human being that attained nirvana or arahanthood, through his own efforts, Mahayana Buddhists consider him to be an embodiment of the Dharmakaya and not merely a human being. In addition to venerating the Buddha, Mahayana Buddhists venerate Bodhisattvas as an ideal. Nevertheless, all traditions of Buddhism venerate the Buddha, and other spiritually advanced beings with varying degrees of devotion. This however is not the same as devotion to an omnipotent, creator God as known in other religions[citation needed]. The Buddha, the Arahants and the Bodhisattvas do not have the power to control humans, but play a significant role in helping beings attain nirvana, by teaching the Dhamma.
