Undo revision 139699 by Special:Contributions/Zaheerabbas (User talk:Zaheerabbas) Not rubbish, is a well supported opinion
The Buddha taught that we should not speculate about what we cannot know, and that speculation about God is pointless. Buddhism is a very practical philosophy, which teaches us to focus our attention on personal experience, to determine what is the cause of our discontents ([[dukkha]]) and to find a way to liberate ourselves from these, all the while expressing [[metta]], which is universal, unconditional love, and [[karuna]], which roughly translates to 'compassion', towards others. These teachings are encapsulated in the [[Four Noble Truths.]][http://www.parami.org/buddhistanswers/what_about_god.htm]

Many Buddhist monks believe Jesus Christ to have been a great Buddha as well, and find parallels in Siddhartha Gautama's teachings of "Nirvana" and Jesus Christ's teachings of "Kingdom of God".
