Supreme Buddha
The followers of Buddha came to consider him a god and set up images of him and worshipped them. But Buddha himself didn’t believe there was s supreme god. He believed and taught that the soul of man passes after death to a higher or lower organism, according to his good or bad deeds during life. This transmigration of the soul into another body goes on through many circles until all desires is overcome. Then the soul enters Nirvana, or a state prefect peace. In order to reach this state, man must follow the Eight-Fold Path of Right Faith, by observing Right Intention, Right Speech, Right Conduct, Right Livelihood, Right Effort, Right Thinking, and Right Meditation.
