To claim salvation before the end of days is arrogant and self righteous.

We should not worship the image of Buddha or him. Rather, we should worship the Creator of Buddha. Only God deserves the worship, none other than Him! This guy is trying to distract the general people to hold his post!

[@bharsha91]

Let us co-exist with different religions peacefully. Buddhists have a different school of thought , he is simply teaching Buddist Dharma not misleading anyone. If you don't agree with him, no problem but please don't condemn people of other religions.

[@prasasea]

if you want to worship the creator better worship your mother and father, stop worshiping imaginary gods thats pointless

[@dougsteets9984]

Says the man who posts videos about DIVERSITY and PEACE BUILDING. Rather hypocritical, don’t you think? What you believe is that everybody should respect your culture and religious beliefs under the umbrella of diversity......but you obviously don’t respect other people’s beliefs. Please contemplate this discrepancy.

Creator not only created but also destroyed.

But what can we learn from the creator anyway, even if there really is a creator? I don't want to suck up to the creator just to realize that it is not a way out of the innumerable lives we have (if you believe there is a cycle of life). I would rather prefer to learn more about how to free myself from this cycle, BY MYSELF AND NOT DEPENDING ON THE CREATOR. Because in the end, I am living this life, there is no guarantee what will happen if I worship our Creator even if we have one. Therefore, I would rather hear what the Buddha has to teach, and learn from him based on my own logical thinking. Buddhism promotes this idea where you have to dissect and learn the Dharma based on common sense, and by rationalism. Do not blindly believe in anything without proof or logical thinking. If not mistaken, many people questioned the Buddha about the creator of the universe, and the creator of all things, and how things work the way they are, and the Buddha replied not to focus on that, because it does not help us, it does not lead us to our salvation. It is as if a fish trying to find out which pond is it in and how was it in there, and how was the pond created, and to be honest would that help its life or not? Therefore, the Buddha stressed upon us to cultivate our minds, to be of virtue, to be a good person, to have wisdom and intellect, so that we could be free from sufferings and live a good life. And when we reached the maximum level of mental cultivation and good practice, we are free from rebirth and the suffering that comes with it, becoming a Buddha or enter Nibbana after death (no more rebirths in any realms, we just exist). Till now, I find it hard to believe this, but I believe the part about mental cultivation with good practice that leads us to live good lives.
