50. Buddhism isn't a religion, it is a method of training the mind to become "Awake". >>Link>>

please note that the Gods, and Demi-gods such as Jehovah, also reside in Samsara and their powers cant free them from Cyclical Karmic rebirth, old age suffering and death. if they cant save themselves they cant save us.

we had a Tibetan Lama at our Center, he basically taught Meditation, he described himself as a "Friend", he wasn't a Priest, there are no Buddhist Priests. he was the most compassionate and loving person i have ever met.

Buddhists are not Athiests.. there are gods, but they are also just poor suffering beings like everyone else in the end.
