There is no God in Buddha’s teachings. There is no religious ritual in Buddha’s teachings. All that there is, is simple “Karma” or “Work” — that is the “Dhamma” or “Duty” or “Religion” he preached.

About This Quote

The story of Buddha is one that is told and retold in many different ways, and often times it is used to teach a lesson. The story of Buddha and the idea of "religion" has been used to point out the faults in religion and religion itself or it is used to point out the faults in religion. It was not always this way. When Buddha lived he was not called a Buddhist, but a Jain. He did not go by this name during his lifetime, but when he passed on he became known as such.
