Judaism, Christianity, Catholicism and Islam all believe in one god (Brahma in ancient India), but the difference is that the spokesman (prophet) of God is slightly different from the doctrine.
Who is the real master of the world?
The answer to this question is ever-changing. Most people would say that it was created by God or Allah. Everything in this world, including ghosts, gods, people, animals and so on, are also created by them. We can't help asking: Is this really the case? Then, as God or God's people, why do our fate, appearance, health and so on vary from person to person? Why are mountains and rivers so different? Why are there so many natural and man-made disasters on this earth? If they really created us, why can't we all live happily? Why can't the creatures and things they create live in harmony? Wait, many problems make us have to try to polish our eyes and want to know more clearly! More understanding.
In fact, more than 2,000 years ago, the Buddha had a wonderful dialogue with the 3,000-year-old Brahma King on these issues. Revealed the absolute truth of these problems.
Buddha comes from the generation and destruction of the world, the movement of the sun, the moon and the stars, and the formation and fate of mountains, rivers, trees, jungles and animals. All kinds of disparity and inequality in the appearance, fate, health and distress of all living beings (including human beings) were comprehensively analyzed and summarized, so that the Great Brahman, who is known as the master of the world, had to be persuaded to correct his wrong views.
What is the truth in this? How did the Buddha convince the Great Brahma King with facts? We might as well put aside our prejudices for a while and listen carefully to the dialogue between the Buddha and the Brahma King.
Dialogue between Buddha and Brahma
Brief description of brightness
On the night of the Buddha's nirvana, in order to see the face of the Buddha again, the Brahman God came to the world three thousand years ago, bowed to the Buddha and said to the Buddha, "I hope the Buddha will teach me how to practice? Where does the cloud live? "
The Buddha immediately asked Brahma: "Brahma, have you ever said that I am the master of the three thousand worlds, and all beings are inferior to me, and I am higher than all beings?" I created everything in the world, did I realize it? "
Brahma replied, "Yes. Buddha. I said so. "
The Buddha asked again, "Brahma, who created you?" Who realized that? "
Brahma was speechless and could not answer.
The Buddha asked again, "When 3,000 whole worlds were hijacked and burned by fire, it was a sea of fire. Did you create this, too Did you show it too? "
Brahma replied: "Buddha. I didn't create this, nor did I present it. "
Buddha added: "Brahma, this mountain and river live by water, water by wind, and wind by emptiness." The thickness of this land is 6.8 million, which is inseparable. Brahma, did you create this too? Did you show it too? "
Brahma replied, "No ... Buddha."
The Buddha asked again, "In this 3,000-year-old world, there are billions of suns and moons, and they all run in an orderly way according to their respective trajectories. Brahma, did you create this too? Did you succeed, too
"No, it's a Buddha."
"Sometimes, the sun and the moon are not in their respective palaces, and the palace is empty. Brahma, did you create this too? Did you show it too? "
"No .. Buddha."
"Spring, summer, autumn and winter are your creations? Did you show it too? "
"No, it's a Buddha."

Have you turned all this into reality? Did you add it? "
"No .. Buddha."
"Those cliffs and ravines, drums, song and dance games, the sound of roe deer, the sound of birds, beasts, human voices, non-human voices and other sounds. Brahma, did you create these too? Did you make it a reality? Did you add it?

Did you create this, too Did you also add it? "
"No, it's a Buddha."
"The horror of all sentient beings (including human beings), fear, pain, concern, anger, killing, floods, fires, sharp knives, strong winds, cliffs, river banks, poisons, evil beasts, enemies, ghosts and gods and other injuries that all sentient beings fear, is this also your creation? Did you cash it, too Did you also add it? "
No, Buddha.
"All kinds of diseases of sentient beings, such as wind, cold, heat and other symptoms, metabolism, and the disharmony of the main parts of the body, if all kinds of karma he had created before caused all kinds of pains in all main parts of the body, all kinds of distress caused by all kinds of diseases of sentient beings. Brahma, did you create this too? Do you realize that? Did you also add it? "
No, Buddha.

"The suffering of parents, brothers, brothers, sisters, relatives, wives, children, and good friends encountered by all beings, is this also your creation? Did you succeed, too Did you also add it? "
No, Buddha.
"All kinds of evil deeds done by all sentient beings, like those selling animals, brewing wine, purple ore, gambling on oil, or traveling to the sea or mountains and rivers, or those divination and fortune-telling methods such as fairy tales. Brahma, did you create these too? Did you succeed, too Did you also add it? "
No, Buddha.
