Who is GOD in Buddhism?

[Jechbi]

I am a malign thug, since the universe is entirely the consequence of my choices. Not Abhidharma karma, but there it is.

Maybe it's more like: "I am a malign thug, since the universe as I experience it is entirely the consequence of my choices." No?

True but in Mahayana with its karmic maximalism, since the universe is a torture chamber

What a strange thing to say in Buddhadhamma


Dukkha is there because of ignorance, not because of the universe


If you think you suffer because of the universe or life in general then, to me, you dont understand Dhamma

Yes.

Greetings Jechbi & Tilt,

Yes... that would make for more sense to me.

I was hoping to clarify what KDT meant, and to see whether it matches that or not.

Metta,

Indeed . As a Mahayana practitioner myself, I too am interested in clarification.
