婆罗门教与佛教神观念比较

婆罗门教和佛教是印度古代的两个主要宗教。两教关于“神”的观念有重要不同。婆罗门教的主流思想认为存在着一个作为世间一切事物根本凶的神，而佛教则通常认为事物是缘起的，不存在实在的作为本体的最高神。两教的神观念与其各自理论体系的基本倾向一致，也与印度古代不同社会阶层间的冲突直接相关。

A Comparison between the God Concepts of Brahmanism and Buddhism

Brahmanism and Buddhism are two main religious sects in ancient India. The god concepts of the two are quite different. The main theory of Brahmanism holds that there is a god that acts as the basic cause of all the things in the world. But Buddhism usually holds that things are mutually dependent, and there is not a real god that can act as noumenon. The god concepts of Brahmanism and Buddhism are consistent with the main tendency of the two theoretical systems, and are also in close connection with the contradiction between the different social strata in ancient India.
