I do not have an advantage of amplifying the origin of Buddha and its marvelously flourishing evolution of century spanned.
I even don`t know is there or was there the God, goddness exist and how could the Egpty kings after their death make sure they would be another new god in charge of specific supernatural power. But in that the great or advanced works they did make me wonder it could be true, cau the belief is certainly based on some real fact or civilization then qualified to pass down generation to generation. Until now the scientists are still unable to make sense the unknown events.
I can not figure out which God or goddness in myth and which God, goddness involved in religion worship.
Of course i know the religion has got something to do with politics which helps or underpins its country control which in return veils the God, goddness more mystery and compound the question i point to.
So i just leave the question. Let the smarter person to trouble ask.
We, chinese are born to be Buddhist. When we are little kids we are brought to temple to recognise Buddha and learn to express our wishes. We are told every thing you go through already is written in our destiny. We are born to suffer the pains that is why the happiness of life is very short and rare.
We express our hopes quietly and sincerely to Buddha which may await or work ou on you. You must hear some sucessful examples nearby and envy their material and luck more than yours.
I visit the temple now and then as well and tell the Buddha my wishes in a voiceless way and everytime i hope they can come true. But seems my sincerity or wishes not strong enough to persuade Buddha. But i can not deny Buddha did not protect me in other ways cau something very bad on me turned to be vanished or protected.
In Buddhism, you have to abstain greediness so that it impossible to come true all-round your hopes, cau we are deeply trapped in multiple problem puddles then we count on Budda solve all the problems or difficulty at a time as yet . Then we pray, pray and pray. Yes, i also wish a lot even though i got this principle.
Believe or not, i sometimes can feel some air especially the monks concentrating on chanting, makes you mind flighty which i do not study deeply just let it be.
I still believe the Buddha exists and floating looking at us.
