About this episode

David Roylance discusses Gotama Buddha's teachings on free will and the concept of God in the context of enlightenment.

(Group Learning Program) - Chapter 18 - God's Creative Action: You Have Free Will at Wat Tung Yu Gotama Buddha’s goal was not to prove or disprove God’s existence, because Gotama Buddha only taught “truth” that could be independently realized or understood by you through your own practice and that which leads to Enlightenment. This is how you gain “wisdom”. But, during the lifetime of Gotama Buddha, there was belief in many different Gods so he did mention God and teach about God during his lifetime. Gotama Buddha never denied the existence of God. In this Podcast, David will help you understand how to learn and practice Gotama Buddha's Teachings to liberate the mind to attain Enlightenment with or without a relationship of God. ——- Daily Wisdom - Walking The Path with The Buddha Dedicated to the education of Gotama Buddha's Teachings to attain Enlightenment. https://www.BuddhaDailyWisdom.com (See our website for online learning, courses, and retreats.)
