Sa³gha. He was now free from all doubts. He did not tell the Buddha
explicitly about this but he implied it in his next question.
“Lord, do all those who call themselves sama¼a-bræhma¼as
hold the same views? Do they all lead the same moral life? Do they
all have the same desire or the same goal?”
Of course, Sakka knew the answers to these questions but he
asked only as a prelude to his question about their differences. The
Buddha answered his second question as follows.
“O Sakka! In this world people do not have the same kind of
temperament. Their temperaments are different. Reflecting wrongly,
they firmly and obsessively cling to the views that best suit their
temperaments. They insist that only their view is right and that all
other views are wrong. It is because of their bigotry that all selfstyled
sages and holy men hold different views. They are committed
to different systems of moral values; they have different desires and
different goals in life.”
Owing to their different temperaments, people differ from one
another in their inclinations and preferences with regard to colour,
sound, clothes and so forth. Likewise they talk about the beliefs that
they have accepted on the basis of their attachments and speculations.
Some cherish the belief in the immortality of the soul. They
say that the soul (atta) exists for ever and that it is not subject to
destruction like the gross physical body. This is the eternity belief
(sassatadi¥¥hi). It has wide appeal, not differing fundamentally from
the religions that teach that man is created by God, and that after
death those who have pleased Him achieve salvation in heaven,
while those who have displeased Him are condemned to eternal
damnation. Then there is the annihilation belief (ucchedadi¥¥hi),
which denies a future life and insists on the complete extinction of
the individual after death. These are the doctrines of those religions
that claim a monopoly on the truth and that reject all other teachings
as false. Such bigotry is the cause of differences in the beliefs, moral
principles, aspirations and objectives of life.

mo nanya...... itu emang saat jaman sang Buddha sudah ada term GOD :-?

Jadi sebenarnya, Konsep Ketuhanan itu emang dah ada, dan sang Buddha mengetahuinya serta menolak nya kan?
lalu kenapa ada yg bilang kalo buddhisme, tidak menerima ataupun menolak konsep ketuhanan?

sebenarnya ada sih beberapa sutta yang terang-terangan menolak god sebagai creator utama.
yang tidak menolak atau menerima itu waktu diam saja menjawab pertanyaan vacchagotta. kalau vacchagotta dijawab apapun juga, pasti vacchagotta berpandangan salah dan akibatnya masuk neraka. maka dari itu lebih baek diem aja.

dan sebagai akibatnya sering disalahartikan kalau buddhism kagak menolak god sebagai prima causa.

itu kan cuma di indonesia....

Konsep ketuhanana di indonesia di artikan oleh beberapa org sebagai tujuan hidup, dan karena agama lain mempunyai tujuan agar berada di sisi tuhan (surga), maka konsep ketuhanan (tujuan hidup) umat buddhist adalah nibanna
well..emang ada kesalahan besar dalam arti ini... tp demi eksis di bumi indonesia.
dan jika di tanya apa itu konsep ketuhanan..maka jawabannya nibanna..atau sifat2 nibanna... intinya di situ, ironi emang T__T, tp mo gimana~~~~
