Zen buddhists at last refute the Atman. According to them, all there is is matter, not union of the individual spirit. Edition My japanese teacher once referred to the ”yo no naka”, and I suspect that it is about that very point, but I never could find time to look it up. Sorry. 💋

A There are is not good anglish. It’s only there is. Point. B One should always finish what one began. C And how could you deprive us from noting here and there those arguments ? Have we done anything wrong ? Love, T As Film Flaneur pointed out on another thread here, unravelling your posts to make them remotely readable, and thus answerable, is a task I have not the patience to perform. I assume you're aiming at some manner of point, but what it may be looks as if it will remain forever unknown. Or at least until someone comes up with a Rosetta Stone that can decipher those posts.

Nice try. Go to the end, please. You began writing about something. Pl'ease you forgot to write down the arguments you referred to. Thruth is truth, only truth, all the truth. Please.

Buddhism (according to the version practiced) has spiritual beings, but they are not 'deities' in the sense in which you're employing the word, as Buddhism has no belief in God or gods as creator beings. www.diffen.com/difference/Buddhism_vs_ChristianityI already said that Buddhism rejects belief in a Supreme Creator. There are, however, NON-CREATOR gods & goddesses in Buddhism. However, you've been referring to Buddhist 'deities' in a manner that suggests parity with Christian deities, which is incorrect. And yet another reason why Buddhists do not have 'missionaries' in the Christian sense of that word. There is no impetus in Buddhist teaching or belief to convert others to belief in any of these gods/goddesses, as they are peripheral to, and not an important or integral part of their philosophic system, in the way the notions of God/Jesus/Holy Spirit are in Western Christianity; where one must accept the actuality of those beings to even consider participating in the faith.

To be a Buddha, or even a bodhisattva is a very goal in Buddhism. It means that you are on your way to Nirvana.There are numerous gods, goddesses, and/or Buddhas in Buddhism.

Erm... Many people have a soft spot for zen. I do not. I lived in Japan . Some monks are regular tight a... Just as any other kind of tight a... Sometimes the consequences are of no importance. Sometimes, not. I wrote the truth about Zen. You do not care for truth, then ? Suits you. You might Hurt yourself. I’ll be there to help’if I can.
