I do not know a lot about Buddhaism. what I know that it is a religion which people worship idols and pray for it. they think there are many gods. correct me if I am wrong !
We are not worship to thee gods. There are many gods. gods are once were people who gathered many good karma and born in heaven( Its the simple meaning.. But it more complicate)
They worship idols. They say there are many gods. My opinion is that there could be only one GOD according to the holy BIBLE and I believe in that very strongly.
Commonly they are not GOD, they are only like angels in the heaven & someday they can die & reborn too like human beings.
In Buddhism, there are useless praying to asking something from the angels or even from The Great Teacher, Buddha Gautama.
if you see we do kneeling to statue, we do that to salute them because their level is better than us (and we use statue to make it easy about the direction & make different between of them like a photograph).
if you see we burning incense, we do that to remind us that we must do good karma in remark, deed & mind at everywhere to everyone (like the smell of incense everyone can smell it)
if you see we placing some flowers, we do that to remind us that our bodies are not eternal, we will get old, sick and die so do good karma before it too late.
Buddhism teach us if you want harvest something, plant it.
for example: if you want to be rich & happiness, start to do charity & donations (not always in money, it's can be your time, your energy, your suggestion, your smile, your joke and many more of your kindness that can help another one)
I hope it will help everyone to know more about Buddhism
